Vauxhall has teamed up with British Gas to offer fast-charge kits for its extended range EV Ampera vehicle, on sale in May, which will reduce its full charging time by a third to four hours.
The British Gas Home Charging solution costs from £799, which includes the installation of a home charge point, three-year warranty on parts and labour, and three-year home electrical care.
Customers living in the Government’s ‘Plugged-in Places’ areas could qualify for up to a 75% discount. As part of the agreement British Gas will also provide a free home electrical survey to all Vauxhall Ampera customers.
“Our new partnership with British Gas will provide a major benefit to all Ampera customers,” said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s managing director. “We can now guarantee that new owners are assured of the very best advice about safe and efficient charging completely free of charge.”
Last month, the Vauxhall Ampera, with its Chevrolet Volt sister car, was named European Car of the Year.
