MINI has announced a partnership with OVO Energy, providing an offer of 5,000 free, green miles to new MINI Electric owners in the UK.
Customers of the brand’s first fully-electric vehicle, who
choose to make a simple switch from their current home energy supply
to OVO’s EV Everywhere package, will get the electricity for their
first 5,000 miles charged at home for free. The EV Everywhere bundle
uses 100 per cent renewable electricity, supporting customers on their
journey to zero-carbon living.
Including free Polar Plus membership, which provides unlimited
access to the UK’s largest EV charging network of over 7,000 public
charging points, the offer ensures MINI Electric drivers will have
peace of mind when charging on the move, in addition to the free miles
from home charging.
David George, Director, MINI UK said “Our MINI Electric
customers have already taken a big step in lowering their carbon
emissions, so we’re pleased now to recommend this exclusive offer with
OVO Energy, for those drivers who want to reduce their footprint even further.”
Once signed up to the offer, MINI Electric drivers who charge
their cars at home will receive a discount of £11 on their bill each
month for the first year of their tariff. This adds up over the year
to the equivalent of 5,000 free miles for drivers charging their car
off-peak on Economy 7, or 3,300 free miles for those on the
single-rate version of the tariff.
Tom Pakenham, Director of Electric Vehicles, OVO Energy said
“The partnership between OVO Energy and MINI UK brings even more
electric vehicle drivers across the UK the opportunity to benefit from
smart charging. Our EV Everywhere bundle helps customers have more
control over their total energy usage, with a complete at-home and
on-the-go energy solution, enabling zero-carbon driving.”
