Motability Operations, ⁤the UK’s leading leasing company for disabled individuals, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Osprey Charging, one of the ‍largest electric vehicle (EV) charging networks in the country.‌ The collaboration aims to improve the public charging experience for disabled drivers, ⁤their ⁢families, and caregivers by enhancing accessibility and ⁤confidence in EV charging.

An investigation conducted by WhichEV in April 2022 revealed significant challenges for disabled drivers when it comes to using the charging network. Companies like Osprey had already been working to make charging easier for individuals with movement restrictions, and ‍it seems ⁣that other companies in the‍ industry have followed suit.

Motability Operations selected Osprey Charging as its first charge point‌ operator (CPO) partner due to the company’s commitment to ⁤ease of use for all drivers and continuous expansion and network upgrades. This partnership has the potential to revolutionize the EV ‌charging landscape for individuals who rely on the Motability Scheme.

Motability‌ Operations serves over‌ 690,000 disabled customers in the UK, providing affordable and worry-free motoring solutions. Through the collaboration with Osprey Charging, Motability Scheme EV drivers will have‌ seamless access to Osprey’s nationwide rapid charging network, which consists of over 750 charge points. The Motability Go Charge App enables drivers to locate charging points, initiate charging, make payments, and​ review the accessibility of each​ location.

The integration between Osprey Charging and the Motability Go Charge App ‌is made⁤ possible through Osprey’s Iris platform, which interfaces with Paua’s platform⁢ to enhance user convenience. ⁤This innovative approach ⁣addresses one of the main barriers ⁤to EV adoption for Motability Scheme customers – the accessibility of charging points.

Osprey ⁤Charging has​ demonstrated a strong commitment to making charging easy and accessible‍ for all users. They were ​the first CPO to construct accessibly-designed public charging hubs and ⁢have subscribed to ChargeSafe, an independent EV ⁤charging endorsement body. Additionally, Osprey supports the BSI PAS1899 standards‍ for accessible charging and conducts regular network audits and targets based on⁣ these standards.

This collaboration will ⁤not only benefit Motability Scheme customers​ but also improve Osprey’s ‌charging infrastructure. Reviews of accessibility provided by ‌Motability Scheme customers through the Motability Go Charge App will contribute to Osprey’s mission of creating an easy-to-use and accessible charging network ‍for everyone.

Ian Johnston,⁤ CEO of Osprey Charging, expressed his enthusiasm for ​the partnership and the opportunity to set the bar for inclusivity and user-friendly charging. Jonathan Jenkins, Head of Innovation at Motability Operations, shared his excitement about working with Osprey to support customers’ ‍charging needs and ⁢facilitate a smooth transition to electric vehicles.

Osprey Charging Network is known‌ for its reliability, ease of use, and acceptance of various payment methods, including contactless, app​ payments, and RFID payments. Moreover, all of Osprey’s charging points are powered by 100% renewable electricity.

Motability Operations delivers ​the Motability Scheme to ‌disabled individuals, offering affordable and convenient motoring solutions,⁢ including insurance and maintenance.

The partnership between Osprey Charging and Motability Operations marks a significant step towards making EV charging accessible and hassle-free‍ for disabled drivers and their families, ultimately promoting the⁢ widespread adoption of electric vehicles in ⁤the UK.
