Be.EV and Uber sign exclusive charging discount deal for North West England drivers
By Eve
Manchester-based Be.EV has launched a 12-month pilot offering discounted ultra-rapid charging rates to Uber drivers using pure-electric vehicles across England's North West. The partnership aims to deliver lower and more predictable charging costs for drivers reliant on public infrastructure, with discounts available at both peak and off-peak times. Be.EV is expanding its network nationally while focusing on locations that match driver routes and needs.
Why it matters: The deal demonstrates how CPOs can secure fleet partnerships by tailoring pricing and network placement to professional drivers without home charging access. It signals a commercial model where ultra-rapid infrastructure becomes essential utility provision for gig-economy fleets, potentially opening procurement opportunities for similar B2B discount schemes in other regions.
