The AA is rolling out plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) to better understand operational needs, from charging logistics to back-office integration. Following an initial trial phase, Easee chargers were chosen over alternatives thanks to their data reliability, ease of use, accurate billing, and robust performance.
“We’re delighted to partner with such an iconic organisation as the AA on its journey to net zero” said Sam Levy, Regional Sales Director. “Electrifying a patrol fleet presents complex challenges, and we’re proud that our smart charging solution is playing a key role in making the transition seamless, for both the business and its drivers.”
Seamless integration between Easee’s smart chargers and the Rightcharge platform has enabled the AA 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, eliminating manual admin and billing errors. This streamlined 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.
“Our partnership with Easee is helping us understand the practicalities of operating electric patrol vehicles at scale” added Duncan Webb, Head of Fleet at the AA. “Their technology has proven to be reliable, easy for our drivers to use, and importantly, provides accurate energy data to support our reimbursement process.”
By enabling at-home charging for its patrols, the AA is ensuring minimal disruption to roadside operations while preparing for the broader implications of the UK’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate. The collaboration with Easee supports the AA’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions across its operations by 2035.
Easee now has over 870,000 home installations across Europe, powering the electrification of households, businesses, and fleets and now, one of the UK’s most recognised vehicle fleets.
