It is the sine qua non condition for the advent of a electric mobility aimed at reducing the impact of travel, and in particular the number of business travel the installation of charging points. And Uber is no exception to the rule. So the mobility specialist is teaming up with another major player to meet this challenge: Carrefourand more specifically its brand Carrefour Energies. This partnership is now embodied in a recharging station in the colours of the two new partners, at Sartrouville (78).
Beyond the symbolic aspect of this ephemeral station, it is the launch of a large-scale cooperation between Uber and Carrefour with a view to developing the uses of recharging. In concrete terms, this " 360° partnership "will be reflected from January 1st preferential rates (-20%) for Uber drivers on the Carrefour Energies recharging network. A thousand drivers will also be able to order a free pre-loaded badge worth €300, valid at all Carrefour Energies stations in France, with no obligation. This means ten ultra-fast recharges in less than 30 minutes (300KW) or fifteen fast recharges (75KW for 60 minutes).
Installed in the car parks of Carrefour hypermarkets, the 136 stations of the Carrefour Energies network total some 800 recharging points. There are 17 stations in the Paris region.
" Having an efficient network of charging points that are accessible under the right conditions (location, charging time, competitive prices) is essential for a VTC driver who travels around 250 kilometres a day. However, charging points are currently concentrated in the centre of Paris and the inner suburbs, whereas almost half of all drivers live in the outer suburbs, and the cost of charging can vary by as much as double, depending on the location of the charging point and the electrical power used. "Uber's managers remind us.
