Electric car subscription service Onto has announced it will be adding 600 new, fully electric PEUGEOT cars to its fleet.
Founded in 2017, Onto enables its customers to lease electric vehicles from its fleet for as short a period as one month.
The company partnered with the British arm of French automaker PEUGEOT back in 2018, after which the first PEUGEOT models were made available to Onto customers.
Four years on, Onto has over 6,000 active subscribers and is expanding its fleet, which will include 600 more fully electric PEUGEOTs. This comprises 300 e-208 Allure Premium vehicles which are already available for delivery, and 300 more e-2008 GT models.
CEO and Co-founder of Onto, Rob Jolly said: “The PEUGEOT e-208 and e-2008 have both been extremely popular with our customers and consistently booked out since joining the fleet. We’re therefore delighted to expand our partnership with PEUGEOT and add a further 600 cars to the fleet in 2022. These new cars will ensure we can keep up with the growing demand as our customer base expands and more people make the switch to electric.”
According to Onto, over a thousand new customers chose a PEUGEOT as their first car in 2021.
Powered by a 50kWh battery the PEUGEOT e-208 can reach up to 225 miles (WLTP) on a single charge.
The larger PEUGEOT e-2008 is also powered by a 50kWh battery, offering a range of up to 214 miles (WLTP).
Both models can be charged in just 7.5 hours using a 7kW wallbox, while 100kW rapid charging can charge them to 80 percent in just 30 minutes.
Julie David, Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK, said: “We’re delighted to be continuing the relationship between PEUGEOT and Onto with this supply of 600 new, fully electric vehicles. It’s fantastic to hear that their customers have been so positive about the PEUGEOT e-208 and e-2008 so far – we look forward to continuing our work with Onto and helping their customers experience the latest range of electric vehicles from PEUGEOT.”
