Lex Autolease confirmed as Explorer EV Rally headline sponsor

GREENFLEET is delighted to announce that Lex Autolease, part of Lloyds Banking Group, has become the headline sponsor for the EV Rally for the fourth year.

The 2025 EV Rally – known as the Explorer EV Rally – will focus on clean energy and innovation, and follows the success of the GBEV Rally in 2022, the Capital City Challenge in 2023 and the A-to-Z Rally of last year.

Nick Williams, Managing Director, Lex Autolease, part of Lloyds Banking Group, said: “Since day one, Lex Autolease has been leading the charge towards a net-zero future and we’re thrilled to be the lead sponsor of the 2025 ‘Explorer’ EV Rally. This event is a powerful platform to showcase advancements in electric vehicle technology and infrastructure. Our commitment to sustainability and empowering fleet managers with the knowledge to take charge of change is at the heart of everything we do. By supporting the EV Rally, we reaffirm our dedication to driving positive change and proving that electric vehicles are not just viable but essential for a greener tomorrow."

The EV Rally aims to demonstrate the potential of EV technology and showcase the extensive charging infrastructure, providing a clear, visible and simple demonstration that EVs can truly go the distance – a belief shared by Lex Autolease. This year, the focus is on clean energy and innovation, a theme that will be showcased as the Rally attends the Cenex Expo on Wednesday 3 September.

Chris Chandler, Principal Fleet Consultant at Lex Autolease, commented: “With our strong focus on our customers’ transitioning to zero emission vehicles, the EXPLORER EV Rally ’25 is another fantastic showcase for what electric vehicles and the associated infrastructure can achieve.  The EV market has been accelerating at a tremendous pace, but we need to maintain this momentum and also help develop the used vehicle market for EVs.  Demonstrating these technologies and their capabilities now, helps build the confidence for others to go electric, and this year incorporating more diverse vehicle types to show it’s not just cars and small vans.”
