FREENOW EV Subsidy

We’re going to help you make the switch

We want to support FREENOW drivers by offering £2,000 to help you make the switch to electric.

Register your interest by completing the form below and once you upgrade to an electric vehicle on the FREENOW app, you’ll be eligible to receive this payment in 12 monthly instalments after completing 50 rides each month.*

Black cab subsidy offer - Terms and Conditions

Eligible drivers will have upgraded their TX1, TX2, TX4 or Mercedes Vito to an EV black cab by the end of 2021. By EV black cab, this means a Nissan Dynamo or a LEVC eTX.

Drivers who upgrade will receive the subsidy in 12 monthly instalments after completing a target number of jobs on FREE NOW and who accept on-car stickers from FREE NOW. If you rent and are unable to take on-cab stickers, please register your interest and get in touch with us, we will be able to discuss your eligibility further.

The target number of jobs for the £2,000 subsidy is subject to change starting with 50 monthly. If the number of jobs does change, you will be informed prior to the start of that month. The driver job target will rise by a maximum of 8 each month initially - to be reviewed after the first 3 months and then based on mobility and demand levels.

You must be registered on the FREE NOW app to participate. We reserve the right to change or withdraw this offer at any time.

I have recently upgraded to an electric black cab, how do I opt into the subsidy?

By filling in this form you can automatically register yourself. Once we have verified your information, you will be added to the next bonus run, starting at the beginning of the next month.

How much is the subsidy worth?

The total subsidy amount is £2,000 split over 12 monthly instalments based on certain criteria including accepting FREE NOW on-cab stickers and completing a target number of jobs per month.*

If I share a black cab, are we both be eligible for the subsidy?

Yes, both drivers will need to complete the form separately in order to be added to the bonus.

I am unable to take on-car advertising, am I still eligible for the subsidy?

Yes, however the amount will be less. Please complete the form and someone from the driver team will be in touch.

I’m a TX1/TX2 driver and I don’t want to buy/rent an electric cab yet. What can I drive to keep me on the FREE NOW app for longer?

You will be able to still continue driving with FREE NOW if you drive a TX4, Mercedes Benz Vito or any of the electric taxis currently available (LEVC, Nissan Dynamo)
