AIRTO member Cenex, in collaboration with C40 Cities and Greater London Authority (GLA), has commenced delivery of a major new project to develop and trial shared electric vehicle (EV) charging models for high mileage fleets in London, as part of a global initiative led by C40 Cities and Uber.
The project, part of a joint effort by C40 and Uber to increase charging access for over 55,000 drivers in London, Boston, and Phoenix, involves Cenex supporting the development of three real-world charging pilots in London. The project is initially a 24-month initiative, which commenced on June 3, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on February 28, 2027. It also includes a 12-month period for ongoing pilot support and data analysis. These pilots will investigate how electric vehicle infrastructure (EVI) can be shared among various operators, including taxi drivers, delivery fleets, and essential service providers. This approach aims to address a major barrier to EV adoption: access to convenient and affordable charging.
The London pilot is one of three international testbeds under the C40-Uber partnership. The findings from these pilots will inform future EV infrastructure strategies for cities around the world and promote a more equitable and efficient use of charging assets.
