Electric fleets: 72% of companies are still managing them without dedicated tools

The electrification of corporate fleets is now well underway, but their management remains largely manual. According to Beev’s first Fleet Barometer, 72% of the companies surveyed still manage their fleets without dedicated software. More importantly, none of them have an accurate understanding of the total cost of ownership for each vehicle.

The study, conducted in August 2026 among 125 fleet decision-makers and managers, shows that all companies surveyed already have at least 10% electric vehicles. Half even operate a fleet that is mostly or entirely electrified. This trend is expected to continue: 27% of respondents plan to accelerate their electrification in the next two years, while 49% intend to maintain their current pace. None plan to slow down or revert to hybrid vehicles.

The paradox arises when it comes to managing these vehicles. Only 28% of companies use dedicated fleet management software. 46% have no formal tools, and 26% are unsure whether any solution has been implemented.

TCO: a key metric, but poorly monitored

The reduction in total cost of ownership, or TCO, remains the top motivation for electrification among 31% of respondents, ahead of tax optimization at 26% and customer requirements or bidding processes at 23%. However, none of the companies surveyed know their exact TCO for each vehicle. Half only track part of it, while the other half has no data at all.

Environmental tracking also appears to be poorly structured: 51% of companies do not consider any measures for their emissions, and none have a structured carbon tracking system.

Range as the Main Barrier

Despite the progress of electric vehicles, 49% of managers still cite range as the main obstacle for professional use, ahead of purchase or rental costs at 26%.
