Workshops are available both virtually and in-person at your site, subject to location. If you’re near one of Mercia’s client hubs, the team can even bring a selection of EVs along for live demonstrations.
“We’re keeping these sessions short, sharp and highly practical, with plenty of Q&A time,” said Andrew Leech. “We want to help companies introduce EVs in a way that’s both financially smart and operationally simple.”
