EDF offers a year’s free charging for new EV tariff customers

Energy supplier EDF is offering customers £200 cashback if they sign up to its newest EV-specific tariff.

The bill credit equates to an estimated 8,244 miles of motoring on the Pod Point Plug & Power tariff, which charges just 8.49p per kWh between 12am and 5am. That means drivers covering the average UK annual mileage and charging exclusively at home could enjoy a year’s free charging.

The deal is open to new and existing customers who sign up for the industry-first bundle before 26 December. The special tariff – a tie-up between EDF and charger maker Pod Point – lets drivers purchase a Pod Point Solo 3S charger for an upfront cost of £499 and split the balance of the charger cost over two years and integrated into their energy tariff.

Rich Hughes, director of retail at EDF, said: “The Pod Point Plug & Power tariff already offers drivers lower upfront costs on purchasing a charger, by letting them spread the rest of the cost throughout their two-year tariff. This deal gives customers even lower upfront costs by putting £200 back in their pocket when they sign up. We’re really pleased to offer drivers yet another great deal to help them save cash, and encourage more to make the switch to electric driving to reduce their carbon footprint.”

Rob McGinn, VP of sales at Pod Point added: “We’re always looking for ways to make the EV transition as easy and affordable as possible for drivers, and so we’re delighted that our partners EDF are providing an extra incentive on the Pod Point Plug & Power bundle, which provides seamless home EV charging through our award-winning Solo 3S.”
