Driveco, one of Europe’s leading electric charging providers, partners with SIXT, a global giant in vehicle rental, for a strategic campaign. This initiative aims to democratise the adoption of electric vehicles in France by offering SIXT customers a 25% discount on their first four charges across the Driveco network.
An exceptional offer to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility
From 22 July 2024 to 5 January 2025, all SIXT customers, whether seasonal or leasing, can benefit from an exceptional 25% discount on their first four charges. This offer is valid on the Driveco app and the Driveco Carrefour Market network. With 127 charging stations already operational in France and over 250 planned by the end of 2024, Driveco is deploying the densest and most extensive charging network in the country, offering SIXT users unrivalled accessibility.
Ion Leahu-Aluas, CEO of Driveco, states:
“Our collaboration with SIXT marks a decisive step in the democratisation of sustainable mobility. By significantly reducing charging costs, we are removing a major barrier to the adoption of electric vehicles. This initiative allows drivers to confidently explore the benefits of electromobility during their rentals without fear. Our ambition is clear: to convert this trial into lasting adoption by making the electric driving experience as simple and economical as possible..”
A strategic partnership to tackle the challenges of electrification
Driveco and SIXT are strengthening their collaboration, initiated three years ago, to address the challenges of fleet electrification. Nearly 200 Driveco charging points are already installed at SIXT agencies, with 10 new stations planned for 2024.
“Through our partnership with DRIVECO, we are going beyond just installing our stations. Now, SIXT customers can recharge at preferential rates at DRIVECO Carrefour Market stations. This initiative will encourage more of our customers to use roaming charging, thereby encouraging them to rent electric vehicles for longer trips and/or extended periods,” adds Guillaume Poirier, Electro-Mobility Manager at SIXT.
A national communication campaign will be launched to maximise the impact of this offer. Coupled with a simple and intuitive mechanism, it allows SIXT customers to easily access the Driveco app and activate their discount in just a few clicks.
