British Gas has announced a couple of new initiatives for electric vehicle drivers.
First up is a new Off-Peak Saver Tariff which provides 20 hours of off-peak electricity between 8pm and 4pm; this benefits from a 12% reduction in standard off-peak charge rates and the utility company estimates this will save someone around £29 on their annual electricity bill. The new tariff is also one of the first from the company which includes a next generation smart meter.
The second initiative is a new 0% interest 12 month payment plan on the purchase of a BG charge point.
Dan Taylor, Director of New Ventures at British Gas said: “Electric cars are coming of age and these new initiatives are part of our continued commitment to make running an electric car easier. The new Off-Peak Saver tariff gives drivers greater flexibility around when they can charge their electric car or van, as well as helping them spread the cost of paying for a dedicated fast and safe charge point.
“Our national network of electrical engineers provides all the advice and expertise necessary to enable electric car owners to power their car quickly and safely, and for less money.”
British Gas is at the forefront of charging point infrastructure in the UK, and is Toyota, Nissan, and Renault’s charger installing partner.
