Introducing the EV Planner

In order to help your business make the switch to electric vehicles as smooth as possible Royal Bank has partnered with Diode. We want to help support your business in its ambitions to become more sustainable whilst also helping you to identify potential cost savings.

Royal Bank have covered Diode’s fees to allow businesses and their employees to access the platform for free. 

Signing up takes seconds. Getting started is easy – once the decision maker has created and verified their account, they’re asked to provide the following information to kick off their electric vehicle journey:

1. Sites. Provide basic business site information for all the locations employees have access to, such as depots and offices. 
2. Vehicles. Upload the registration numbers of all company vehicles. 
3. Invite employees. Simply add the email addresses of all company employees. They’ll be invited to complete a short survey. 

Diode’s support team are on hand to help decision makers to get started – simply book a  video call or chat to the team directly from the platform. 

Diode is a technology start-up that supports businesses and drivers to make informed decisions when considering the switch to electric vehicles by harnessing the power of their data which may help them overcome potential barriers

For full details about how Royal Bank uses the personal data of our customers, please see our privacy notice.

When you sign up for the EV Readiness Assessment you will go through to a platform hosted by Diode and will sign up to their privacy policy. 

The EV Planner will guide you to the products, services and partnerships that Royal Bank can support your business with. Your Royal Bank Relationship Manager can assist with any enquiries.

We believe the EV Planner will help provide businesses and their employees with the data to feel confident in making the transition to an EV, and access to vehicle and charger ordering to help you continue on that journey.

But we need to understand whether our customers find the EV Planner useful before we proceed to offer it wider and consider integration with the Royal Bank Carbon Planner.
