We’re committed to making our cities healthier, greener places to live. That means adding more electric vehicles to our fleet and offering drivers more ways they can benefit from driving them.
Together let’s push towards a more sustainable future. Read on to see how we can help you make the switch and save big when you do.
Thanks to our incentives, if you buy an electric car you can benefit from a reduced commission of 2% for 1 year on all trips made with your electric taxi with the FREENOW brand, in addition to the benefits of the 'Brand FREENOW on your taxi' program . For more information on the 'Brand FREENOW on your taxi' programme, read the section "HELPING YOU TO GO ELECTRIC" below.
Furthermore, you can save more than €500 on the installation of a Wallbox charging station and benefit from an energy component price of €0 at night and during bank holidays, thanks to our partnership with EDISON.
* The WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure) defines fuel or energy consumption levels. From 1 September 2018 the WLTP came into force as a test for car registration in the European Union.
Electric motors are much more efficient. With traditional cars it is necessary to spend on average €10.9 per 100 km, whereas with electric cars only €3.7 per 100 km is enough. On average a taxi driver travels 50 thousand km per year and the average saving is €3600 per year.
Furthermore, another significant advantage of purchasing an electric vehicle is the exemption from paying car tax for five years starting from the date of registration. At the end of this period, you will pay a tax equal to 25% of the amount for the corresponding petrol vehicles.
FREE NOW and EDISON offer you the complete solution for charging in peace and safety, at home and wherever you are. Edison Energia allows you to reduce the cost of the energy component with a dedicated offer, so you can recharge your taxi and contain operating costs.
An electric car has no clutch, oil, filters or timing belts... so its maintenance is much cheaper. Furthermore, thanks to the regenerative braking of the electric motor, changing the brake pads will be a distant memory.
As an indication, we have calculated a saving of at least 25% compared to a hybrid vehicle, which can mean more than 1,200 euros in 5 years and 300,000 kilometres.
