Ride-hailing rental startup Splend to transition Australian car fleet to electric – The Guardian
‘The economics are going to drive EV adoption,’ company founder says, citing petrol costs
Australia may take another small step in the switch to electric cars if an ambitious $40m plan by the ride-hailing rental startup Splend to transition its fleet takes off.
The company has said it will swap its petrol-driven cars in the UK for 1,000 electric vehicles by the end of the year, with half the 1,500 vehicles in Australia to follow by the end of 2022.
Its founder and chief executive, Chris King, said the company had taken possession of the first Hyundai Ioniq EVs in London last week.
