Octopus Energy has announced a partnership with black cab app Gett to provide charging offers for London taxi drivers.
The provision includes charging discounts and credits, as well as reduced prices on home charging equipment for cab drivers on the Gett platform.
Discounts will apply to black cab charging at thousands of Source London and MFG EV Power charge points across London, while Octopus will also install chargers at cab drivers' homes, allowing them to sign up to the firm's smart charging tariff.
Octopus Electroverse director Matt Davies said: "We're making it even easier and cheaper for London's iconic black cabs to go electric - an integral part of green mobility in the UK's capital.
"Our new Gett partnership will transform EV charging for thousands of electric taxis and give drivers straightforward access to fantastic charging deals."
Gett global head of procurement Harjit Dhami said: "We are really pleased to launch this offer for the drivers on the Gett app. The partnership will provide access to nearly 9,000 public charge points in London alone and will help to reduce downtime for black cab drivers.
"The number of e-black cabs has been growing steadily over the past few years and we are keen to play our part in accelerating the transition to a 100% electric future."
