Free JOLT EV charging for Vauxhaul drivers in London

News

Vauxhall and EV charging company JOLT, are to launch a new scheme in which all Vauxhall EV drivers in London will be able to charge their cars for free from 3rd February to 2nd March 2025.

JOLT has powered over 6.3 million miles of clean energy for EV drivers since its launch in the UK, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and collaboration with local authorities.

These 40 JOLT EV units will be placed in urban centres, and are designed to boost EV adoption, support local economies, as well as reducing emissions, which will benefit both drivers and the community. The campaign is part of promotion for Vauxhall’s Grandland Electric, and will showcase free charging while also advertising Vauxhall’s latest model.

60 per cent of London households do not have driveways, and so the partnership emphasises the need for affordable access to EV charging. Each JOLT unit already gives all EV drivers with up to seven kilowatt-hours of free daily charging, which is enough for most urban commutes, as well as affordable additions rates and supporting London’s commitment to green transport.

John Rainford, UK country manager at JOLT said: “This collaboration is just the beginning. This campaign not only provides affordable and sustainable charging solutions, but also integrates high-impact advertising to drive positive change.

“Public-private partnerships like this are key to overcoming the challenges of climate change and improving air quality. With the right policies and infrastructure, councils can create equitable access to sustainable transport, making electric driving an achievable reality for all. We’re empowering communities, boosting local economies, generating revenue for local authorities, and offering valuable support to local businesses and charities. Together with Vauxhall, we’re proving that innovation and collaboration can accelerate the UK’s transition to a cleaner, greener future.”

James Taylor, managing director of Vauxhall, said: “Access to on-street charging continues to be a hot topic to ensure the UK can continue along its electrification journey. In partnership with JOLT, Vauxhall is continuing to support electric vehicle drivers, offering free charging for any Vauxhall electric vehicle customer visiting a JOLT unit. We’re committed to electrifying Britain and look forward to seeing even more innovative on-street charging solutions for drivers to make their day-to-day journeys.”
