Alphabet (GB) has appointed E.On as its new electric vehicle (EV) charging partner.

The partnership will give customers access to a complete package of fully integrated home, workplace, and public charging solutions.

The full-service partnership will offer everything from planning and installation to charge point operation and maintenance.

David Rose, head of product and governance at Alphabet (GB), said: “Charging is still one of the biggest concerns for fleets of all sizes.

“By partnering with E.On we’re reinforcing our long-standing commitment to ensuring our customers get the expert support and solutions they need to break down barriers and supercharge EV adoption.”

Alphabet customers will be able to take advantage of exclusive home charging offers including discounted, fully fitted wall boxes.

A four-step process from enquiry to installation, coupled with expert guidance on selecting the best option for their property and vehicle, makes the journey to electric as smooth and stress-free as possible, it said.

Following installation, drivers can remotely monitor, control, and optimise charging using the dedicated E.On Drive app.

The plug-in-and-go solution features intelligent charging, allowing customers to schedule overnight charges and wake up to a fully charged EV.

Businesses exploring workplace charging options for employees will also benefit from the newly formed partnership, says Alphabet.

Customers can expect practical, expert advice on creating and optimising workplace charging infrastructure, as well as help setting up and managing ongoing fleet requirements.

Meanwhile, payment and driver reimbursement options give fleet managers the flexibility to choose the right approach for their business, while detailed monthly fleet and charging reporting aims to save time by streamlining billing and remuneration for eligible employees.

EV charging network

E.On operates one of the largest EV charging networks in Europe with more than 36,000 public charge points and 3,000 ultra-fast charging (UFC) stations available via the E.On Drive app.

Drivers can locate and pay for charging using the app, viewing availability, speed, and cost. As well as simplifying route planning and payments, there is a detailed overview of charging sessions.

Chris Lovatt, chief operating officer UK Solutions at E.On, said: “Increasing the number of charging points at home, in public and at workplaces, will not only reassure drivers, we hope it will inspire them to make the cleaner choice.

“We’re proud to partner with Alphabet to give their customers easy access to charging and helping in their commitment to becoming more sustainable.”

Alphabet currently operates a fleet of more than 55,000 electrified multi-make cars and vans throughout the UK.

In the first half of this year, 69% of new car orders placed were either partially or fully electric.
