Largest Scottish dental care service gives electric car club scheme the green light

Dental Care at Home is the largest provider of dental care for care homes in Scotland, and having outgrown its old premises, the business relocated to a new health centre in Glasgow, with a Co-wheels electric vehicle on its doorstep.

The business has a team of dentists and dental hygiene therapists who travel to 19 care homes with more than 900 residents to provide on the spot examinations and care. The team use a Co-wheels Renault Zoe to get to and from appointments, with staff members also either cycling, walking, or driving an electric vehicle into work.

The Co-wheels car club model provides a scalable approach to the business’s travel needs whilst also offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional travel methods.

Mark Fowler, manager of Dental Care at Home, said, “With Glasgow being such a big city, our team of five were keen to find an eco-friendly approach to travel, one that was not only convenient but also cost-effective.
