This document discusses the benefits of businesses adopting electric vehicles early. It notes that Bristol has air quality and congestion issues despite being the European Green Capital. Businesses are helping to address this by pushing for long-term transport strategies, encouraging electric vehicle uptake through test drive events, and supporting initiatives like the Big Commuting Challenge. The benefits to businesses include good PR, reduced running costs for fuel, maintenance and taxes, and access to subsidies for charging infrastructure and vehicle costs.
