ScottishPower has taken a novel approach to giving people with ‘range anxiety’ confidence to switch to a zero-emissions vehicle by joining forces with breakdown service company AA.
Anyone who purchases an electric vehicle home charger with ScottishPower can register for the free service from the AA. If the user finds they are “out of charge” when driving their electric vehicle, the AA will pick them up and take them to their nearest charge point or home – whichever is closer.
Chris Carberry, Smart Solutions Director at ScottishPower, said: “.. we are delighted we can offer this additional services to hopefully help even more people make the switch to electric vehicles.”
Gavin Franks, Business Services Director at the AA, said: “ScottishPower and the AA share a vision of a world powered by zero-emissions vehicles and we’re proud to help more drives switch to electric vehicles.
“Supporting drivers is at the heart of everything we do at the AA and this includes giving more power to electric drivers. We hope this partnership with ScottishPower will make drivers even more confident about making the move to electric vehicles in the future.”
