Addison Lee has joined forces with electric vehicle charging aggregator Bonnet to provide its partner drivers with discounted and reliable EV charging.

The partnership with Bonnet means Addison Lee’s partner drivers will no longer be at risk of taking wasted journeys to busy and broken charge points

The tie-up will see Addison Lee partner drivers provided with access to over 20 charging networks – and more than 1,000 rapid charge points – across the capital, simplifying charging access.

Drivers will also save money too, receiving a £5 credit each month in the first four months, and the ability to save up to 15% on the standard network tariff for all charges via Bonnet’s ‘Turbo Boost’ scheme.

With real-time data easily located all under one app, Bonnet will provide Addison Lee’s partner drivers with useful information on the closest, available charge points to them – helping them to charge their vehicles and be back on the road in as little time as possible.

Data from the firm shows almost four in 10 (39%) of its partner drivers have spent over half an hour trying to find a rapid charger on occasion, with almost half (49%) reporting that they found chargers not working or damaged, and 65% drove to a charger to find it already in use.

Liam Griffin, CEO of Addison Lee, 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 innovative brands such as 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.”
