Mobility in Motion Launches New EV Accessibility Product

Mobility in Motion, winner of the Disability Smart Customer Experience Award (Small Org) at the Business Disability Forum Awards, is proud to unveil a new innovative mobility device loading solution designed with disabled electric vehicle (EV) users in mind.

With an estimated 1.35 million disabled people in the UK relying on public charging for their EVs or hybrids, and a 28% increase in trips made by disabled adult drivers since 2021⁽¹⁾, demand for accessible, EV-compatible mobility solutions is higher than ever.

While not an EV charging product, Mobility in Motion’s latest innovation responds to a different but equally critical accessibility challenge; enabling disabled drivers to easily load and stow mobility devices (such as wheelchairs), using a powered hoist that is specifically designed to be compatible with EVs.

After speaking with customers and understanding their specific needs, Mobility in Motion created the Smart Lifter Power Pack – a game-changing battery pack upgrade for the Smart Lifter range of boot hoists, enabling:

• Up to 30% faster hoist operation – for quicker loading and unloading
• Independent power source – no need to wire into the vehicle’s system, making it ideal for EVs
• Secure, space-efficient mounting that preserves valuable boot room
• Push-to-indicate charge level display
• One week of typical daily use from a single charge*
• Ergonomic, portable design with wrist strap

Industry Recognition for Innovation and Inclusivity

Mobility in Motion was recognised at the Disability Smart Awards 2025 for its commitment to truly inclusive customer service and for breaking down barriers faced by disabled people.

The Business Disability Forum judging panel commended Mobility in Motion on their Customer Experience Award win, saying:

“Their commitment to making car travel accessible is clear. The positive impact on customers is evident through the enthusiastic reviews. Independent travel is life-changing, and Mobility in Motion is making that a reality for many.”
