At the War Tunnels, four spaces will be designated for the two-passenger vehicles – with the potential for expansion based on demand.

Hire rates start from £10 per hour or £50 for 24 hours.

Damian Warman, General Manager at Jersey War Tunnels, said: “We are incredibly proud to be one of the first attractions on the island to offer EVie’s A2B service.

"This partnership not only enhances convenience for our visitors but also aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainability.

We’re excited to introduce this innovative and eco-friendly transportation option, making it easier than ever for people to explore our island while contributing to a greener future.”

Nick Perchard-Rees, CEO of EVie, added: “As one of our island’s most popular attractions, Jersey War Tunnels is an ideal location for EVie to offer our A2B service. 

"It not only offers significant cost savings, as users only pay for the hours they need, but our fully electric fleet also aligns with our island’s commitment to reducing transport emissions and with the cost of living rising, EVie is focused on making travel more affordable and sustainable for everyone.”
