ROTTERDAM, 30 September 2024 – Bolt has introduced its all-electric ride category in Rotterdam, offering residents and visitors a new way to book zero-emission journeys. The move is part of Bolt’s broader push towards sustainable mobility in the Netherlands.
Bolt introduces electric ride options in Rotterdam
Bolt, the European mobility platform, has launched its fully electric ride category in Rotterdam, allowing passengers to book rides in electric vehicles. This initiative forms part of Bolt’s larger strategy to support sustainable transport solutions in urban areas across the Netherlands. The launch follows the deployment of electric Tesla cars in Amsterdam and marks another step towards Bolt’s commitment to environmentally responsible urban transport.
Noud Ottens, General Manager of Bolt Netherlands, commented: “We are excited to bring Bolt Electric to Rotterdam. Access to sustainable transportation should be available to everyone, and this expansion represents an important step in that direction.” He also noted that an increasing number of drivers in Rotterdam have already invested in electric vehicles, and Bolt plans to support this shift with incentives such as discounts on fast charging and charging equipment.
Affordable electric rides for Rotterdam residents
The new Electric category offers the same pricing as Bolt’s standard ride options, ensuring passengers can choose a greener option without worrying about higher costs. This move aligns with Bolt’s aim to make sustainable transport widely accessible.
To encourage more drivers to make the switch to electric vehicles, Bolt offers benefits such as reduced leasing rates for electric cars and discounts on fast charging through partnerships with companies like Shell. According to Ottens, “We believe electric driving is the future, and we want to make it available for everyone. To support drivers, we offer exclusive discounts on electric cars through our partner network.”
Supporting sustainable mobility in Rotterdam
The launch of the Electric category in Rotterdam highlights Bolt’s dedication to promoting sustainable urban mobility. By offering shared transport options, Bolt seeks to reduce reliance on private cars and help cities transition towards greener transportation systems.
Bolt’s Electric category is now available in Rotterdam, as well as in other Dutch cities such as The Hague, Eindhoven, and Amsterdam. The company plans to expand this service to additional cities across the Netherlands in the near future.
