Skywell BE11 deals offer free charger and £6,000 deposit boost
EV newcomer Skywell has announced a series of summer offers on the BE11 electric SUV, saving customers thousands of pounds.
From now until the end of June, Skywell BE11 buyers can benefit from three exclusive offers including a free home charging box, £3,000 worth of free public charging credit, and a £6,000 finance deposit.
The charging box comes as a result of the Chinese manufacturer’s partnership with charging box manufacturer, Hypervolt, who will provide its 7.4kW Home 3 Pro smart wall box with either a five-metre or 10m charging cable as part of the deal.
Meanwhile, Skywell’s agreement with Octopus Electric Vehicles, the EV package-providing subsidiary of Octopus Energy, means that new BE11 owners will receive £3,000 worth of free public charging credit – the equivalent of 15,000 miles – when they sign up for the Octopus Electroverse app.
Compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Electroverse allows EV drivers to find and access charge points across the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. Alongside a route planning feature around the public charging network, Electroverse is paired with some of the UK’s leading charging networks including Ionity, Shell Recharge, and Instavolt.
Combined with Skywell’s £6,000 finance deposit contribution, the brand’s UK general manager, David Clark, believes that the latest offers will help boost EV adoption nationwide. Skywell already offers the BE11 with a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty and up to 10 years of roadside assistance.
“Bridging the gap to traditional petrol/diesel equivalent vehicles is paramount,” he said. “Therefore, our £6,000 deposit contribution now offered, allows the BE11, a D-segment SUV, to be priced similarly to a medium C-segment hatchback.
“With the inclusion of a free home charger from Hypervolt, and covering the cost of charging publicly thanks to our £3,000 charging credit with the Octopus Electroverse app, we have broken down two of the common barriers to EV adoption – nervousness around home charging installation and the cost of charging on the public networks.”
The Skywell BE11 launched in the UK towards the end of 2024, starts at £36,995, and is available with two battery options: the standard 72kW unit provides up to 248 miles range, while the larger, long-range 86kW returns up to 304 miles.
Irrespective of battery size, the Skywell BE11 comes generously equipped thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, a Metz sound system, 19-inch alloy wheels, plus electronically-adjustable leather and Alcantara seats.
