LEAP24 reduces charging costs to support business drivers

LEAP24 has unveiled a network-wide pricing structure designed to reduce the cost of ultra-rapid charging for taxi drivers, private hire operators, and commercial fleets.

The new pricing is available immediately across the LEAP24 network.

The updated pricing includes standard (7am to 10pm) 69p/kWh, overnight (10pm to 7am) 55p/kWh, partner card 54p/kWh, and partner card overnight 45p/kWh.

The partner card membership is now £1.99 per month.

The launch comes as LEAP24 prepares to open its four-bay ultra-rapid charging hub at Triumph Close, near Heathrow Airport, this summer.

The opening will take LEAP24’s UK network to 12 ultra-rapid charging hubs, including locations at Heathrow and London City Airport.

LEAP24 said the updated pricing is expected to be particularly attractive to taxi drivers, private hire operators, chauffeur services, couriers and commercial fleets.

Pelle Schlichting, CEO at LEAP24, said: “Public charging has a critical role to play in the UK’s transition to electric vehicles, particularly for drivers who do not have access to home charging.
