Autonomy partners with Perks at Work to broaden EV subscription service
Now operational in three of California’s largest markets, Autonomy announced another path toward growing its digital electric vehicle subscription service.
The company that says it provides consumers with the cheapest, fastest, and easiest way to subscribe to a Tesla Model 3, has partnered with leading workplace perks provider, Next Jump.
According to a news release distributed on Monday, Next Jump powers Perks at Work, which helps 70% of the Fortune 1000 companies care for their employees by providing discounts in categories ranging from travel to everyday essentials, free online classes and HR software. Next Jump counts Google, Starbucks, PwC and The Home Depot among their employer partners.
Through the partnership, millions of Perks at Work members will now get flexible and affordable access to electric vehicles without long-term commitment or long-term debt.
Autonomy is currently available in California and is gearing up for expansions to other regions of the country.
Autonomy’s subscription program is month to month after a three-month minimum hold period and bundles routine maintenance, roadside assistance, and registration fees into a monthly payment.
In addition to Tesla Model 3, Autonomy will soon expand to other Tesla models, as well as models made by other OEM brands.
“The vast majority of employees need a car to get to work, but the increasing cost of vehicles and the fact that EVs cost more than gas-powered cars makes them less attainable for the average consumer,” Autonomy founder and chief executive officer Scott Painter said in the news release. “We’re excited to partner with Next Jump and provide millions of employees an easier and more affordable way to get access to an EV.
“Subscriptions are simply a novel way for consumers to get more car for less money without long-term debt or long-term commitment, helping make EVs more affordable and the planet more sustainable,” Painter added.
Greg Kunkel is Next Jump co-founder and head of e-commerce.
“Companies are looking for unique ways to take care of employees right now,” Kunkel said in the release. “With the increase in inflation impacting wallets, and significant employee interest in supporting sustainable brands, we are excited to partner with Autonomy in providing a unique perk of EVs for our Perks at Work customers.”
