In April 2025, the Office for National Statistics announced that UK inflation fell from 2.8% to 2.6% in March 2025, due to petrol prices dropping to 137.5p per litre. The last time you could secure fuel prices as low as they are today, Squid Game and James Bond: No Time to Die had just premiered in UK cinemas. The Enerswitch fuel card provides you with stability by streamlining your overheads and guaranteeing fixed weekly prices – which haven’t been this low since 2021. Our team can create a bespoke contract tailored to your requirements, shielding you from volatile market rates and allowing you to reliably project your travel outgoings. This innovative solution uses the latest technology and automation methods to protect your budget and optimise your total fuel spend – making it a key part of your business finance strategy.
At the same time, the UK’s EV charging infrastructure is evolving. While it’s not yet fully established across the UK, it’s expanding – and Enerswitch is prepared. This May, it was announced that 748 charge points have been added to the Yorkshire and Humber Charging network, since April 2024. This is a huge 26% increase in the last year.
Enerswitch is here to support your business with today’s most efficient fuel solutions and tomorrow’s charging needs through professional EV installation services.
Petrol, Diesel and Technology: Powering UK Transport as the EV Shift Builds
Statistically, there hasn’t been a better time to take control of your fuel spending. In this article, we’ll explain how a fuel card can benefit your business, key factors to consider, and the simple steps to get started.
As mentioned with the addition of more charge points, Electric Vehicles (EVs) continue to gain traction across the UK, championed as a cleaner and more sustainable transport option. The government has made substantial investments in EV charging infrastructure, and many businesses are beginning to plan their transition. However, the rollout remains uneven. According to the Department for Transport, 43% of all EV charge points are still concentrated in London and the South East – leaving many regions underserved. This is a crucial consideration for companies operating nationwide.
For businesses with fleets covering rural areas or the entire country, limited access to rapid charging presents a logistical challenge. Despite government targets for all 114 motorway service areas to be equipped with at least six ultra-rapid charging points by 2023, only 80 had reached that target as of early 2025. For many, the shift to electric still involves complexity, potential delays, and planning uncertainty – making a seamless transition difficult.
That’s where Enerswitch steps in. Our fuel card provides instant access to over 4,200 fuel stations across the UK, ensuring your drivers are never far from a quick and convenient fill-up. Whether your routes run through cities, motorways, or remote areas, we’ve got you covered with reliability and consistency – the best way to manage your fleet’s fuel needs.
