British Gas launches free charging point package

Date: 05 August 2013   |   Author: Jack Carfrae

British Gas has launched a free charging point installation package for electric vehicle operators in the UK. The service, which is part of the Government's subsidised funding scheme for EVs, is available to any electric vehicle owner until 31 March 2015 and includes a free home charging point installation and access to the Polar public charging network, which allows users to plug-in to designated public charging points for free, until the end of March 2014.

Andreas Atkins, head of electric vehicle services at British Gas, said; "This offer is a milestone for the UK's electric vehicle market. The number of electric vehicles on the road is predicted to hit 1.5 million by 2020 and the Government funding scheme, which makes this offer possible, is doing a lot to help reduce the cost of owning an EV even further.

"As the offer is open to anyone it's a great time for the friends or family of EV drivers to install electric vehicle charge points at their homes.

"For example, if someone is making a regular journey to and from a relative's house then having a charge point at both destinations could be worthwhile."
