Charge Fairy has expanded its service fleet with four Goupil G4 EVs, enabling it to grow its offering within designated service areas.

Charge Fairy said the Goupil G4 Chassis Body vehicles ticked all its boxes

Established in 2020, the business provides a subscription-based service that charges electric vehicles to eradicate the time and stress of locating and using charge points in busy urban zones.

It’s targeted at both private drivers and fleets and uses an app that checks when a charge is needed and sends out a mechanic to the vehicle.

The company initially ran a Nissan e-NV200 during the first 12 months of operation and investigated other vehicle options with a suitable payload to handle the heavy lithium-ion battery that it uses to recharge vehicles. It also needed a vehicle that could easily access  narrow urban streets and carparks.

After hearing about Bradshaw EV’s G4 Goupil vehicles, which ideally suited for transporting equipment in and around urban areas, Charge Fairy founder Ed Lea said the decision to add them to the existing fleet was a “no-brainer”.

He commented: “The Goupil G4 Chassis Body vehicles just ticked all our boxes and ultimately allow us to service city dwellers within urban areas more seamlessly, as well as give us the option to use a larger lithium-ion battery thanks to the generous payload – enabling us to carry out more charges in any given cycle.

“Charge Fairy has ambitious plans over the next few years as we look to take our service nationwide and the Goupil vehicles will undoubtedly underpin our operation, especially in urban-centric areas. We would like to thank Bradshaw with their ongoing cooperation, consultation and support with supplying their best-in-class vehicles to us.”

Ramsy Labassi, marketing manager at Bradshaw Electric Vehicles, also said: “Charge Fairy are an innovative brand that are providing a ready-made solution to a significant, well-documented issue within the industry, and we were delighted to assist them in supplying our Goupil G4 Van Bodies to help them drive the EV market forward.

“Due to their size, their 50–101-mile range and generous 1,022kg payload, the G4 electric box vans are ideal for urban use – especially when you factor in the quietness of the vehicle which will come in handy for Charge Fairy’s night-time visits in residential streets and neighbourhoods.”
