Zap-Map partners with Nissan Motor GB

 

Partnership sees Zap-Map Premium included with Nissan's Electric retail
vehicles

 

Good Energy Group plc investment Zap-Map, the UK's leading chargepoint mapping
service, and automotive manufacturer Nissan have announced a partnership today
in which purchasers of Nissan's Electric vehicles will be provided with a
Zap-Map Premium subscription that includes in-car support via Apple CarPlay or
Android Auto.

 

Nissan Electric vehicle purchasers can now receive three years' free
subscription to Zap-Map's Premium service. The subscription partnership offer
applies to private and business orders for new Nissan EV passenger cars.

 

Since 2014, Zap-Map has established the most comprehensive map and dataset of
electric vehicle (EV) charging points in the UK, including live status
information for over 70% of charge points.

 

On top of Zap-Map's core features - which allow drivers to search, plan and
pay for EV charging - Zap-Map Premium provides a number of additional
features, including the ability to access Zap-Map within the in-car dashboard
through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This means drivers can find a suitable
charger quickly and easily by viewing live charge point data, accessing route
plans, and linking to a navigation app for turn-by-turn directions.

 

Looking ahead, zero-emission vehicles will continue to play an increasingly
important role in Nissan's future. Indeed, Nissan is forging partnerships with
companies such as Zap-Map to help secure the necessary infrastructure for a
zero-emission future.

 

Nissan's partnership with Zap-Map allows new customers to plan electric
journeys quicker and drive smarter with in-car support through Apple CarPlay
or Android Auto.

 

Nigel Pocklington, Good Energy CEO and Chair of Zap-Map said: "Partnerships
and subscriptions are a key part of Zap-Map's growth strategy. Aligning with
Nissan, one of the UK's and the world's most popular EV manufacturers, is a
fantastic step forwards on this. We look forward to seeing what we can achieve
together in driving the future of clean transport."

 

 

Nic Thomas, Marketing Director, Nissan Motor GB said:

"Nissan is thrilled to be partnering with Zap-Map in this exciting move
towards more integrated electric motoring. Nissan have always been pioneers of
the electric vehicle market and Zap-Map lead the way for charge mapping, this
partnership is a logical next step as both companies continue to pave the way
for intuitive electric travel."

 

Melanie Shufflebotham, Co-founder & COO at Zap-Map, said:

"I'm very happy to announce Zap-Map's partnership with Nissan today. With
drivers increasingly making the switch to electric, our focus at Zap-Map is on
making charging simple, and that's exactly what this partnership between
Nissan and Zap-Map helps to achieve.

 

"We know it can sometimes be hard to find suitable chargers while driving. By
enabling access to Zap-Map within the in-car dashboard, our Premium offering
makes navigation that much easier for EV drivers. That means Nissan retail
customers will be able to view charge points, see live charge point status,
access route plans, and link to a navigation app for turn-by-turn directions -
all while on the move.

 

"As a company we really value feedback from our user community. We work
extremely hard to understand the views of EV drivers, and that's how we came
to develop Zap-Map Premium. So it's fantastic to see the partnership with
Nissan going live today, ready to make EV navigation easy for Nissan customers
across the country."

 

Zap-Map Premium user John Curtis, from the EV Rally of Great Britain, said:

"Zap-Map Premium...gives me information that is really useful when I'm on the
move and it gives it to me in a way I can easily use. The map shows where I
am, how many charge points there are around me, where the nearest ones are
which is fabulous, whether they are available or not, whether they are working
or not.

 

"I can have a list of those charge points so I can choose where I want to go.
I can set up routes. And it's just brilliant, it makes life an awful lot
easier".
