The AA – Electrifying the Patrol Fleet in the UK
The AA, a leading UK roadside assistance provider, has partnered with Easee to transition its patrol fleet from diesel to electric, rolling out PHEVs and BEVs as part of a four-year test programme to optimise charging and operational processes.
Location:
Home charging for AA patrol fleet across UK
Reason for choosing Easee:
“Our partnership with Easee is helping us understand the practicalities of operating electric patrol vehicles at scale. Their technology has proven to be reliable, easy for our drivers to use, and importantly, provides accurate energy data to support our reimbursement process.” – Duncan Webb (Head of Fleet, AA)
Additional benefits:
Thanks to the integration between Easee’s smart chargers and the Rightcharge platform, the AA has been able to electrify its patrol fleet with minimal disruption. The system automatically retrieves charging data from the Easee unit and facilitates direct reimbursement to the energy supplier.
This process ensures that drivers are fairly and accurately compensated for home charging, making it easier for the AA to scale its EV operations effortlessly while maintaining operational efficiency across the fleet.
The AA’s breakdown fleet driver feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, citing the charger’s intuitive design, remote app control, and ability to schedule off-peak charging.
