The company probably doesn't care about any global emergency.
The convincing argument would be about their total cost of onership.
You want to get your hands on any data they collected during their trial. Specifically cost data.
I'd bet they already realized the short term cost of getting the cars and installing chargers is more. That's likely why they decided against it.
Working up the numbers for long term fuel and maintance costs, comparing ICE and BEV, might be convincing. Especially if you can use their own data.
This right here OP, the company doesn't give a shit about climate. In fact if you go in there and say anything right out the gate about climate emergencies or climate change they're probably just going to tune you out entirely, shake your hand at the end and say something like "Good presentation, we'll get back to you" (Read: they won't)
But start talking about how they can save money and increase profits, now you're talking their language. Maybe mention climate change at the end as some sort of "secondary benefit" like free marketing or something, but that'd be about it
