AX announces like-for-like replacements for EV drivers
AX has announced it is now offering like-for-like replacements for EV drivers following a collision.
This comes after its own research found that more than 55% of motorists are considering buying an electric car, while two thirds of EV drivers would expect an EV replacement in the event of a collision.
AX Electric is the first of a tranche of EV initiatives planned for 2021, forming part of a wider investment in EV infrastructure which will support AX’s rapidly growing fleet of electric vehicles. The programme will see AX cease further expansion of its plug-in hybrid vehicle fleet, to focus and align their fleet in support of the huge swing in BEV sales.
Scott Hamilton-Cooper, director of sales and operations for AX, said: “AX Electric marks a new step in our history of accelerating change. We are among the very first accident aftercare specialists to commit to reducing our carbon footprint with a dedicated EV offering. Our customers and partners will benefit from our usual exemplary service levels, while also making sure that their customers receive an electric replacement vehicle.
“As well as the new service and an expanding fleet of EVs vehicles, we are also investing in infrastructure across our various sites, ensuring we have the charge points to ensure our customers’ – and our own – vehicles are fully charged before driving away.”
