Zap-Map partners with RAC to help EV members get back on the
road faster
Good Energy Group PLC (AIM: GOOD), the 100% renewable
electricity supplier and innovative energy services provider,
announces Zap-Map have partnered with the RAC.
Summary
In a bid to further its market-leading position as the
number-one for electric car breakdown cover, the RAC has joined
forces with Zap-Map - the UK's no. 1 EV charge point mapping app -
to be even better placed to help electric vehicle (EV) drivers who
run out of charge.
The Zap-Map app will be distributed to the RAC's 1,600 patrols
via all their devices - phones, laptops and in-van terminals -
enabling them to locate the nearest available, suitable, publicly
accessible charge point for RAC members to get their EV recharged
and back on the road again as quickly as possible.
The RAC is already ideally set up to help members with EVs
because its patrols can provide an emergency charge to flat or
severely depleted electric cars with its award-winning RAC EV Boost
technology, without the need for heavy and bulky portable
batteries. It can also move stricken vehicles easily with the
All-Wheels-Up rapid recovery system, which gives patrols flatbed
towing capability from a standard breakdown van.
Nigel Pocklington, Chief Executive Officer of Good Energy,
said:
" This partnership is another great example of collaboration
within the automotive industry to help decarbonise the sector by
providing services for the increasing number of electric vehicle
drivers on the roads. It will further increase the number of
drivers using Zap-Map and reinforces its position as the UK's
leading electric vehicle mapping app."
Alex Earl, Commercial Director at Zap-Map said:
"We are always keen to explore new ways of working, especially
when they help to make the switch to electric as seamless as
possible.
"The RAC has so many patrols on the road, and they will
increasingly encounter EV drivers who may be in need of their help.
We therefore felt it made sense to provide them with easy access to
Zap-Map, as it will lead to a better experience for anyone who does
run out of charge.
"We will also be looking to get patrols to feedback anything
they discover about out-of-order or faulty charge points, ensuring
Zap-Map users have access to even more accurate information to
search, plan and pay for their electric journeys."
RAC head of technical James Gibson said:
"By ensuring all our patrols have Zap-Map on their RAC devices,
we're giving members with EVs extra reassurance that we're equipped
on every level to get them going again, should they ever run out of
charge or encounter a faulty charge point.
"While we have the technology to give them an emergency boost,
it's vital we know how far away the nearest suitable charger is so
we can give our members enough mobile charge to get them there
safely.
"We chose to partner with Zap-Map because it's without doubt the
best app for finding the nearest available public charge points for
whichever vehicles our members might be driving. The level of
information provided in the app is excellent and we urge every EV
driver to download and use it, as it genuinely makes EV driving
even simpler."
