Overview
- Autozeitung’s July guide highlights nine recommended EVs for company use that balance range, load space and charging speed to suit different fleet roles.
- The Audi A6 Sportback e‑tron stands out for long-distance duty with an 800‑volt platform, WLTP range above 750 km and up to 270 kW DC charging on the S6 version.
- Spacious estate models for business travel include the BMW i5 Touring, with more than 500 km range and 570–1700 liters of cargo space, and the VW ID.7 Tourer, which offers 605–1714 liters and up to 200 kW charging.
- More compact or specialist options show trade-offs: the Hyundai Ioniq 5 uses 800 V tech to recharge 10–80% in about 18 minutes, while the Ford E‑Tourneo Courier has a small 46 kWh pack and about 320 km range and the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric loses roughly 80 liters of trunk space versus the petrol model.
- The practical takeaways for fleet managers are clear: choose body style and battery size to match trip profiles, prioritize vehicles that support fast DC charging and charge with renewable electricity to maximize tax and climate benefits and improve driver experience.
