Arnold Clark Charge partners with Octopus Electroverse to launch discounted EV charging subscription
By Eve
Arnold Clark Charge, which operates over 400 chargers at 60 locations across the UK, has partnered with Octopus Electroverse to offer a monthly subscription giving drivers a 29% discount on DC fast charging compared to standard rates. The scheme aims to address the cost gap between public and home charging, which has been widened by the UK's VAT levy on public charging. Arnold Clark's Group Sustainability Manager Pablo Levi said the partnership supports affordability and accessibility as the UK transitions to electric vehicles.
Why it matters: The subscription model may influence how other charge point operators price access to their networks, particularly for drivers without home charging who face higher public tariffs. For procurement teams, the partnership demonstrates how dealership networks with existing charging infrastructure can leverage aggregator platforms to drive utilisation and customer loyalty.
