Bolt drivers charge cheaper at Vattenfall

Bolt drivers can now charge at a discount at Vattenfall InCharge's public charging stations, reports TaxiPro. The discount applies to both fast chargers and AC poles in Vattenfall's Dutch charging network. According to Bolt director Noud Ottens, the switch to electric driving is not just about the price of the vehicle.

Of the active vehicles on the Bolt platform in the Netherlands, almost 40 percent are now fully electric, with the goal of 50 percent by 2027. Charging costs are often a reason for drivers who drive many kilometers to switch to an electric car or not. The step fits in with a broader trend in the taxi industry, in which platforms and taxi companies are making agreements with charging station operators to accelerate the transition to electric driving.
