Fleets are increasingly treating workplace charging as the safest EV option

May 14, 2026

Fresh research from Arval suggests fleets are increasingly prioritising workplace charging over both home and public charging as electric vehicle adoption grows.

According to the 2026 Arval Fleet and Mobility Observatory, 89% of businesses operating electric cars and vans either already have workplace charging policies in place or plan to introduce them.

For fleets, the logic is fairly straightforward. Charging at work gives businesses more control over both cost and availability, while also helping ensure vehicles start each day fully charged and ready to go.

That’s particularly important for van fleets where downtime and route disruption quickly become operational problems.

The research also highlights how charging strategy is becoming a much bigger fleet procurement discussion, not just an infrastructure one. More than a quarter of businesses have already installed workplace chargers, while a further 28% plan to invest within the next year.

For fleet managers trying to navigate that shift, FleetWise’s Trusted Brands shortlist already includes several charging and fleet-energy specialists increasingly active in the workplace charging space, including Allstar and Arval, both of which are helping fleets combine charging access, reimbursement, and broader electrification support into a single operational strategy.
