⚡Gofor x Volvo - latest EV demo day live!
Could we have picked a better day for our latest EV salary sacrifice customer on-site demo day? Not sure we could, blue skies and smiling faces all around! Our EV salary sacrifice specialists Darren Woodall and Michael Hook were delighted to team up with the team at Volvo who brought along demos of the sublime EX30 and EX40.
As with all our EV demo days, it’s fantastic to get people into electric cars, see them overcome their EV barriers and watch them experience the ‘wow’ factor.…and when the sun’s shining it’s all the better!

⚡Gofor at Fleet Procure Live!
More sunshine, more electric vehicles demos! This time it's our account manager and EV enthusiast, Paul Reeves who enjoyed a fantastic day at the 2025 Fleet Procure Live event in Donnington Park.
Paul shared his favourite test drives of the day, take on some of my favourite EVs that you should consider for your company car and van fleet.
⚡Ford E-Transit Custom—well spec'd, comfortable, and despite being an EV, it hasn't lost its heritage as a hard-working van.
⚡The Omada 5 is fairly new to the market, but don't discount it. It's a lovely car, well styled Interior all at a great price point.
⚡Kia EV3 Air - I really liked this car, felt premium, good interior space and a positive step away from the E-Niro, Brilliant car for salary sacrifice.
⚡Volvo EX90 - Premium 7 seater, brilliantly spec'd model with a great sound system!
⚡Renault 5 - A throwback with retro vibes, It was very popular on the day. This would make a great weekend car and great for salsac too.
⚡BYD Seal - Growing rapidly, a strong brand taking 2% market share last year, and a fantastic premium model, personal favourite.
