Fleet and small businesses customers can now purchase EO chargers from an official Mercedes-Benz UK retailer at attractive rates.
For retail customers, an EO home charge point will be supplied and installed free of charge.
Key to Mercedes-Benz Vans’ decision to engage in the new partnership, it said, was the industry-leading service and maintenance package that EO provides to customers through the installation and life of the charger.
The Mercedes-Benz Vans range includes fully electric eSprinter and eVito variants, while the first right-hand drive eCitans are set to arrive in the UK towards the end of 2022. All produce zero tailpipe emissions.
Kevin Ferris, head of electric mobility at Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, added: “We are committed to the pursuit of emission-free mobility and sustainable vehicle production, and it is crucial as we work towards these goals that we do so with partners we trust. This explains why Mercedes-Benz Vans UK has chosen to add EO as a charging partner.
“Our pledge to those contemplating the switch to electric is that we will be at their side to support them on their journeys to a cleaner, ‘greener’ future. Given its well proven capabilities and advanced technology, I have every confidence in EO’s ability to assist our customers by making the transition as simple as possible.”
EO Charging also unveiled its fleet EV charging ecosystem — a complete charging infrastructure available for car, van, truck, and bus fleets. The ecosystem includes smart fleet consultation, design and deployment, AC and DC charging hardware, and 24/7/365 support and maintenance.
Charlie Jardine, chief executive and founder of EO, said: “With EO’s turnkey solution, fleet managers and operators will have a one-stop shop for planning through implementation of the electrification of their vehicle fleets.
“A primary focus is to ensure the EO Cloud offers fleet managers the right software-based tools and single viewpoint to manage electric vehicles anywhere in the world. We’re working to integrate the world’s best charging hardware, third-party management systems and data management to facilitate this.”
