Energy company British Gas has been named as exclusive supplier of electric vehicle charging solutions for Mitsubishi Motors in the UK.
Mitsubishi Motors were the first mainstream manufacturer to the global market with the pure-EV Mitsubishi i-MiEV in 2009 and are proud to be first to market again with their pioneering plug-in hybrid technology.
The global premiere of the Outlander PHEV, which will offer the most sophisticated technology currently available, took place at the Paris Motor Show last month and is due to go on sale in the UK in 2013.
Customers of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK will have access to a range of British Gas charging solutions and can provide customers with a dedicated circuit from £375, which protects their home electrical supply from overload. Alternatively, British Gas can install a wall-mounted charging solution from £799, which cuts charging time by around a third.
Customers in London, the East of England, the Midlands and Milton Keynes may be eligible for a free Chargemaster Homecharge–i unit, as well as access to a network of public charging points (the density of charging points varies by region), thanks to a partnership between British Gas and POLAR.
As well as the range of charging solutions, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK customers can also benefit from British Gas’ Off-Peak Saver Tariff, designed specifically with pure-EV and plug-in hybrid owners in mind. This tariff makes it cheaper to charge vehicles overnight and can save customers an average of £29 per year compared to other tariffs.
British Gas customers on the tariff will also have a smart meter installed, which puts an end to estimated bills. Customers can access to British Gas’ new financing plan, which makes the purchase of a dedicated home charging solution easy by spreading payments over 12 months
