PORTS of Jersey has partnered with electric-car share service EVie to provide sustainable transport options for passengers travelling to and from the Airport and ferry terminal.
From 5 September, ten allocated EVie parking spaces will be available at the Airport, with four more at the Elizabeth Terminal.
The move follows a similar partnership between EVie and the Channel Islands Coop, with EVie electric cars and vans available for use at four stores across Jersey.
The Ports service will use EVie’s one-way “A2B” system, allowing customers to pick up a vehicle from one location and drop it at an allocated space.
Ports chief executive Matt Thomas said: “EVie’s A2B service is a real opportunity for sustainable tourism.
“We have an ambitious sustainability strategy to support our customers to decarbonise their journeys to and from the Airport.”
Sophie Roffe, head of sustainability and community value at Ports of Jersey, said: “We hope this will make a real difference for Islanders and visitors, and the next stage will be to extend the scheme to our marinas and historic harbours.”
Nick Perchard-Rees, chief executive of EVie, said: “Our new A2B service directly supports this initiative by offering electric, flexible, cost-effective transport that also lowers the number of journeys required.”
