Ola offers its London drivers incentives to switch to electric cars
On Thursday, 13th May 2021, Ola will support electric car drivers by removing its commission fee. Their London users will be able to request a trip from a new Ola EV section, which allows only drivers with electric cars to accept rides.
Our family man and his new car
Thomas only recently joined Splend on our Flexi own plan but he has been an Uber driver since 2017, so he’s a veteran of London’s rideshare community. We were so happy to see his joy when he got behind the wheel of his brand-new MG5 EV.

Step up your ridesharing game with the Hyundai Ioniq Electric
Up until this point, electric cars have traditionally featured a compact chassis to increase efficiency and maximise driving range. With the Ioniq Electric, that’s all changed thanks to the extra 15% space this car offers, along with a fantastic range of up to 274 miles.
