Northgate has partnered with leading EV charging platform, Monta to power up its new electric vehicle (EV) and charger bundle package.
12months+ rental customers who take an EV and charger package will now have full access to the Monta app and platform.
Monta’s platform allows Northgate to offer a solution to its customers which brings together domestic, commercial, and public charging in one easy to use app.
Northgate customers benefit from Monta’s extensive roaming network, searchable via an app, which guarantees drivers easy navigation to over 14,000 charge points across the UK. Drivers can also access smart charging features which allow them to choose between renewable energy or lower cost charging tariffs, depending on their needs.
There are additional benefits for businesses who want to build a fleet or provide EVs as an employee benefit. Employers can sponsor their employees’ charge point, and instantly reimburse them for charging at home. Drivers can also pay on the road using a variety of methods such as Google Pay, Apple Pay and a digital wallet that can be topped up by their employer.
As the platform can set up multiple payment methods for drivers using both personal and business payment cards, and a full usage dashboard and reporting suite are included, administration time is reduced for fleet managers.
James Eustace, Director of Product and Marketing at Northgate said:
“Northgate aims to help make customers’ transition to electrification as seamless as possible, and our partnership with Monta is an important step in delivering this aim.
Monta enables us to offer a truly turn-key solution for our customers which adds further value to our electric LCV rental contract and home charger bundle a single monthly payment.”
Alok Dubey, UK Country Manager at Monta said:
“Northgate have created a convenient solution that makes EV ownership a breeze, by adding the Monta platform to the offer we’re presenting a truly end to end solution for EV owners. We’re proud to work with partners who innovate and share our goal of making EV charging more accessible.”
Launched as a key component in Northgate’s Drive to Zero fleet electrification program, the new bundle and Monta access guarantees to make it straightforward for businesses switching to electric vehicles.
Northgate’s 12months+ contract includes vehicle rental of between 12 and 60 months for electric vehicles, including any livery or racking and full servicing, maintenance, and breakdown cover. This fixed monthly cost approach improves cashflow and reduces upfront costs whilst still giving operators access to a range of flexible renting solutions such as telematics and fleet management.
