THE GRETA EFFECT
NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF BRITS NOW CONSIDER SUSTAINABILITY WHEN CHOOSING HOW TO TRAVEL - Seite 2
Pledge commitment for all vehicles on our app to be zero-emission capable by
2025 [1] . We are already the largest electric fleet platform in the UK but want
to go further faster and make choosing electric vehicles even easier for drivers
as well as customers.
"This year alone, we have seen a 135% uplift in passengers opting for EVs, and a
35% increase in EV drivers on the platform. These figures reflect the growing
demand for sustainable options within the ride-hailing industry, highlighting
again that transitioning to zero carbon/low emission vehicles is not just the
right thing to do but also good business sense."
Across Europe, FREE NOW electric car rides have increased by 71% since January
2021, with a 20% increase in active EV drivers on the platform. The app is now
the mobility platform with the biggest electric vehicle choice in Europe, with
almost 130,000 new e-scooters, eBikes and electric shared cars on offer to its
customers.
To celebrate the rollout of the change to its app, FREE NOW has released a new
ad, featuring one of the nation's most beloved football presenters, Chris
"Kammy" Kamara, called "DashKam." In the ad Kammy can be seen racing across
London using FREE NOW's electric cabs and e-scooters.
Chris Kamara, former football player and presenter, comments: "I'm delighted to
be supporting this important initiative. As an electric car owner myself, I know
just how vital it is that we make the switch to electric vehicles, so it's music
to my ears that FREE NOW are now offering them to customers as standard."
