Bord Gáis Energy, one of Ireland’s leading energy supply and services providers, continues to support the adoption of electric vehicles by offering new and existing customer exclusive discounts.
Customers who install a HIVE EV charger before the 31 August with Bord Gáis Energy and sign up for an EV Smart Plan will receive a €150 credit on their bill. Bord Gáis Energy is also currently offering new customers a 33% discount on their domestic electricity plans when they sign up before the 31 July. With 33% off electricity and a €150 credit against the EV charger installation, switching to an electric vehicle has never been better value!
The Hive EO mini-Pro 3 is available to purchase online and is installed by a trusted local tradesperson with BordGáis Energy Local Heroes.
Bord Gáis Energy’s smart EV tariffs are designed especially for electric vehicle owners and allows people to charge an electric car at reduced night rates.
A full overnight home charge, depending on the model, will get you between 300km to 500km average distance, and costs as little as €9.50 when using the night rate electricity. This can be added to a customer’s regular domestic electricity bill in the usual way.
Commenting on the EV Smart Plan, Teresa Purtill, Director of Services & Solutions, Bord Gáis Energy said:
“At Bord Gáis Energy, we’re helping our customers make smarter energy choices to protect our planet and those we care about. We’re committed to energising a greener, fairer, future for our customers and electric vehicles play a key role in this.
While the asking price of an EV is often higher than an equivalent petrol or diesel, research shows that the day-to-day savings currently swing in favour of electric. Switching to an EV could help the typical person cut their costs on transport in half, with the added benefit of knowing you’re actively contributing to a greener tomorrow. With our smart home charging, we’re helping EV owners take better control of their electric charging and costs.”
The Hive EO mini-Pro 3 is one of the neatest home EV chargers around. Roughly A5 in size, it’s powerful enough to fully charge the average EV battery from empty in just under eight hours, and with its sleek matte black finish it certainly makes a style statement too.
