AION partners with Jumptech to help customers with ‘Effortless Electrification’
- AION is the first car company globally to partner with Jumptech
- Jumptech takes care of the laborious behind-the-scenes process of setting up home charging for the first time
- First wave of AION retailers have opened their doors, selling new AION V SUV from £36,450
- Industry-leading AION Great 8 promise includes an eight-year warranty, service, roadside assistance and MOT package as standard
London, 17 June 2026 – AION, the newcomer brand that has just launched the segment-defying AION V SUV, has appointed Jumptech to help fulfil its promise of ‘Effortless Electrification’, a brand ethos which aims to simplify the electric vehicle (EV) ownership experience from day one. AION is the first car maker globally to partner with the exciting start-up that is transforming the way customers access green technologies.
By choosing not to be affiliated with a specific charge point provider or energy company, AION is allowing its customers to maintain autonomy over their home charging decisions, giving them the freedom of choice to find a charger and energy supplier best suited to their lifestyle and budget. The customer can kick off the installation process by visiting www.homecharging.aionauto.co.uk.
The customer simply has to express an interest in home charging, and AION, via the Jumptech platform, initiates a chain of events on their behalf. The Jumptech software optimises communication between retailer, installation partner and energy provider, with each handling its own area of expertise and reaching out to the customer as required to seamlessly guide them through each step of the installation journey.
Phil Nunn, Jumptech Founder and CEO, said: “Many first-time EV buyers find the process of installing a home charger overwhelmingly complicated. They are either forced to navigate a confusing web of hardware choices alone, or given no choice at all, with a single charger option.
“We simplify the entire process by connecting the approved installer directly to the customer to replace doubt with clarity. Working side-by-side with AION and its retail network, we are making the switch to the AION V seamless, supportive and as easy as it should be.”
Alex Key, Marketing Director at AION Auto UK said: “This Jumptech partnership makes ‘effortless electrification’ a reality from the start of a customer’s EV journey, eliminating the barriers and making the switch to an EV a hassle-free process. It’s one part of a package of confidence-inspiring initiatives – alongside our AION Great 8 promise – that exemplifies our commitment to driving the new standard and building trust with customers.”
The first wave of AION retailers have opened their doors and are already introducing the AION V all-electric family SUV to customers. Every AION V will include the ‘AION Great 8 promise’ effortless ownership proposition as standard, which provides eight years of confidence-inspiring cover across the vehicle’s warranty, servicing, roadside assistance and MOT.
Prices start from £36,450 OTR, with flexible PCP offers over 18 - 48 months starting from £379 per month (2.9 percent APR Representative) * through AION Financial Services.
