British Gas Offers 8,000 Miles Free EV Charging to Boost Adoption
British Gas, the UK's largest energy and home services provider, has launched an enticing offer for electric vehicle (EV) owners. The company is giving away 8,000 miles of free home charging to new and existing customers with a smart meter.
The promotion, announced by Hive, a smart home brand owned by British Gas, aims to boost EV adoption by addressing common concerns like range anxiety and battery life. Customers can claim the free miles regardless of their energy tariff, and they can choose to have their Hive charger installed by British Gas or not.
Gav Murray, Director of Hive at British Gas, believes this offer will significantly impact hesitant drivers, encouraging them to make the switch to EVs. The company is committed to making greener home solutions more accessible and affordable. For those without a smart meter, British Gas will install one for free.
With over 51,000 EV charging devices across more than 30,000 locations in the UK as of October 2023, British Gas' offer adds another incentive for drivers to go electric. The company's dedication to greener solutions is evident in this offer, which could help alleviate some of the perceived barriers to EV ownership.
