Shares of Wallbox N.V. rose more than 40% in premarket trading Tuesday after the provider of electric-vehicle charging systems said it was launching a pilot program with ride-share giant Uber Technologies Inc.

The companies said the program is aimed at helping local Uber drivers in California's Bay Area purchase and install Wallbox home electric-vehicle chargers.

Wallbox will offer Uber drivers a discounted package for a charger, installation and a financing option, the companies said.

Uber noted that the partnership is part of its recent commitment to becoming a 100% zero-emissions mobility platform in the U.S., Canada and Europe by 2030.

Shares of Wallbox, which went public earlier this month through a combination with blank-check company Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. II, were recently up 44.1% to $16 in premarket trading.
