LEASING specialist Select Car Leasing has teamed up with Zap-Map, the EV charge point locator, to offer three months of its free Premium membership for each new electric car lease.
Zap-Map’s Premium package offers enhanced features over the no-cost version.
These include the ability to home-in on charge points using a variety of enhanced filters. These inclued ‘user rating’ and ‘multiple charger locations’, as well as adding unlimited vehicles to the app and saving unlimited route plans.
Select Car Leasing is fully behind the electric revolution, as we help customers transition from traditionally-fuelled cars and vans to electrified models, so we’re pleased to partner with a platform that really shares our ambitions.
We want to make driving an EV not just accessible and attainable, but also enjoyable and hassle-free. And with Zap-Map, the stress of locating and paying for EV charging is completely erased.
In response to demand from SME fleets for EVs – 25% of new lease agreements were for EVs, said Select – the company had expanded its electric vehicle division, doubling the number of specialist staff.
EVs are really moving into the mass market now. With more and more drivers switching to an electric vehicle every month, all these new drivers will be looking for somewhere to charge, which is where Zap-Map comes in handy. Our focus is on making charging simple, and that’s exactly what this partnership between Select Car Leasing and Zap-Map helps to achieve.
We know it can sometimes be hard to find suitable chargers while driving. By enabling access to Zap-Map within the in-car dashboard, our Premium offering makes driving an EV that much more enjoyable. Now Select Car Leasing customers will be able to view charge points, see live charge point status, access route plans, and link to a navigation app for turn-by-turn directions – all while on the move.
