ANDREW WESTCOTT , DIRECTOR OF SUSTAINABILITY AND REGULATION , ADDISON LEE

Overall , there is a key emphasis on partnerships . The success of Addison Lee can be somewhat attributed to its support from Volkswagen in the onboarding process .

“ When we first introduced the EVs – that first kind of cohort , those pioneers if you like who adopted the vehicles – they worked with VW and one of the dealerships worked with the drivers and showed them how they had to test vehicles ,” says Westcott .

“ They showed them how to drive it , they showed them recharging methods – how to drive the car efficiently and economically . So they were really supportive of that .”
