The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Private hire firm Addison Lee has announced a new agreement with EV charging aggregator Bonnet.
The deal gives Addison Lee drivers access to more than 20 charging networks with over 1,000 rapid charging points across London.
Addison Lee says its drivers will be able to use the Bonnet app to locate nearby available chargers, helping them to speed up the charging process, with the company previously finding that 39% of its drivers had spent over half an hour trying to find a rapid charger.
Addison Lee has committed to transitioning its standard fleet to fully electric by 2023.
Addison Lee CEO Liam Griffin said: "Since we announced our transition to electric, we have formed several important partnerships to ensure we can provide the drivers that work with us with seamless access to EV charging.
"Partnering with an innovative brands like Bonnet, means our partner drivers will no longer be at risk of taking wasted journeys to busy and broken charge points. And, as the cost of living continues to rise our deal ensures our partner drivers are saving as much money on EV charging as possible."
Bonnet co-founder and CEO Patrick Reich said: "We're delighted to have launched this partnership with Addison Lee. Taxi and private hire drivers are among our most popular users, and we're pleased to be able to reduce their costs plus ensure they have the most convenient, flexible experience possible.
"As COP27 takes place in Egypt, we believe speeding up the transition to zero emission transport is of critical importance for the environment, and we're glad to be part of Addison Lee's journey to have a fully electric fleet."
