BP will now offer discounts at all BP Pulse charging stations across the country to Uber EV drivers and delivery people.
The EV charging discount builds on existing offers for Uber drivers in Australia, including discounts on fuel, Wildbean Café barista coffees, carwash, and other shop offerings at participating BP service stations.
Frédéric Baudry, President of BP Australia and SVP Fuels and Low Carbon Solutions, Asia Pacific, said BP Pulse was supporting drivers and delivery people making the switch to EVs by rolling-out fast and convenient charging stations across the country.
“As the world of mobility changes, we’re bringing our customers along for the ride by providing them with end-to-end mobility and convenience services.
“Through this offer, we hope to support those who have already made the switch and encourage drivers who may be considering changing to an EV.”
Emma Foley, Managing Director of Uber Australia and New Zealand, said they know the total cost of EV ownership is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to making the switch for Uber drivers and delivery people.
“Through this important partnership, we’re tackling that challenge head on as part of our ongoing work to bring down the costs of going electric.”
All Uber drivers and delivery people can sign-up to the offer through the Uber app and use the BP Pulse app to access these new charging benefits. The rate of savings will vary based on an individual driver’s Uber Pro tier status.
