BARCELONA, Spain, May 13 — Wallbox (NYSE: WBX), a global provider of electric vehicle charging and energy management solutions, today announced a new partnership with Freenow by Lyft, one of Europe’s leading multi-mobility apps, to support the electrification of taxi operations across key European markets. Through the agreement, Freenow drivers and fleet operators will gain access to exclusive conditions across a selection of Wallbox charging solutions designed for both home and business use.
The program has already launched in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain. Through the partnership, Freenow BEV and PHEV taxi drivers and fleet owners will be able to access Wallbox charging solutions tailored to their day-to-day operational needs, whether charging at home or at fleet depots. The offering will include Pulsar Max for individual drivers, as well as Pulsar Pro and eM4 for fleet and shared charging environments.
As taxi and ride-hailing networks across Europe continue to electrify, access to reliable and easy-to-manage charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important for both independent drivers and fleet operators. Latest data shows that over 60% of vehicles in more than 180 cities in Europe on the Freenow platform are already fully or partially electrified, highlighting the growing momentum behind this transition. By partnering with Freenow, Wallbox is expanding access to charging solutions that can help simplify the shift to electric mobility, while supporting more efficient daily operations for professionals who depend on their vehicles throughout the day.
Ignasi Alastuey, Chief Business Officer at Wallbox, said: “The shift to electric mobility in the taxi sector will depend on making charging simple, accessible and suited to the everyday needs of drivers and fleet operators. At Wallbox, we are focused on helping remove barriers to adoption with charging solutions that are easy to use and designed to support professional mobility. Through this partnership with Freenow, we are making that transition more accessible for drivers across Europe.”
Felix Brand, Chief Strategy Officer at Freenow by Lyft, added: “At Freenow, we are committed to supporting drivers and fleet partners in their transition to electric mobility. Working with Wallbox allows us to offer access to charging solutions that are practical, reliable and adapted to the needs of our driver community, helping make electrification a more viable option across our network.”
Under the agreement, Freenow drivers and fleet operators will benefit from exclusive discounts across the selected Wallbox portfolio. The partnership will also connect them with Wallbox’s local network of certified installation partners, helping ensure a smooth experience from initial interest through installation.
With this collaboration, Wallbox continues to strengthen its position as a partner for the electrification of professional mobility in Europe, supporting a growing range of use cases from individual home charging to more complex fleet charging needs.
