EV Fleet Finance
Vehicles and the power behind them, funded as one project.
An electric fleet is not a vehicle purchase. It is a vehicle purchase plus a power project, and splitting the two across separate funders is where transitions stall.
Typical project size , £75,000 – £4,000,000
What usually gets in the way
- Vehicle finance is available. Depot power upgrades usually are not.
- Fleet managers get quoted for vans and discover the substation cost afterwards.
- Residual values on commercial EVs are still poorly understood by mainstream lenders.
Why businesses finance it
- Spread the transition across the vehicle lifecycle rather than one brutal capital year.
- Fund vehicles and charging together so the depot is ready on delivery day.
- Keep the fuel-versus-energy saving ahead of the monthly cost.
How GRID helps
Structured by people who read the load profile first.
01
We structure vehicles, chargers and electrical works under one coordinated quote.
02
We plan drawdowns around DNO timelines so nothing sits idle.
03
We phase funding across staged fleet rollouts.
