Humax has partnered with BYD to offer customers a 7kW MX7 EV charger included with the price of any new electric vehicle purchased via its CG Auto Global dealership network in the south of England.
Designed to create an all-in-one EV ownership experience for those switching from internal combustion to electric, the deal integrates the £999 charger and installation costs into the customer’s Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) plan.
The Humax MX7 won a gold London Design Award and incorporates smart vehicle recognition to prevent unauthorised use or theft of the owner’s electricity.
Approved for the UK Government’s OZEV grant to reduce up-front costs, the device is also future-proofed for Vehicle-to-Grid capability and can be integrated with solar energy to reduce home charging costs.
Finally, the Humax MX7 can be operated from any smart device to enable intelligent charging schedules, monitor real-time charging, and manage Auto Solar Mode remotely.
Derek Yu, the deputy director of CG Motors UK, said: “Our aim is to deliver a premium, no-fuss experience for our customers when they purchase a BYD car, whether that’s for personal or business use. This collaboration with Humax EV Charging allows us to fulfil this promise with an integrated package that enhances their vehicle ownership journey.”
Jeff Kim, Humax president, added: “This partnership with CG Auto Global makes the transition to electric driving simpler for BYD customers. By enabling drivers to include a home charger and installation within their vehicle purchase, we’re creating a true one-stop solution that removes advance costs and unnecessary complexity.
“Beyond the convenience of charging at home, customers can also benefit from lower running costs by taking advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, while avoiding the time and hassle associated with regular use of public charging infrastructure.”
BYD’s UK range of electric vehicles comprises full EVs and plug-in hybrids. The electric-only line-up is made up of the Dolphin Surf city car, the Dolphin hatchback, the Atto 2 crossover, the Seal executive saloon, and the Sealion 7 and Atto 3 Evo SUVs.
In 2025, the Chinese automotive giant became the world’s biggest EV manufacturer and outsold Tesla in Europe, despite only hitting the European market as recently as late 2022.
