EDF Energy partners with Peugeot UK and Citroën UK for EV recharging solutions

Residential and fleet customers will be offered electric vehicle recharging products and services

EDF Energy is partnering with Peugeot UK and Citroën UK to offer residential and fleet customers electric vehicle recharging products and services with the sale of every Peugeot iOn or Citroën C-Zero.

The partnership will ensure best in class motoring technology and safe and convenient recharging solutions. It will support the development, future marketing and up-take of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

The residential package makes it easier and faster to charge a new Peugeot iOn or Citroën C-Zero. Following a free home survey and the installation of a dedicated charging point, drivers can benefit from faster charging times of up to 35 per cent.

The package includes a timer to enable easy off peak recharging, a smart meter and an EV consumption statement which shows owners the cost of charging the car, along with a full three year warranty on the charge point.

The first 500 residential customers will also receive 1,000 electricity miles free, all for just £799.

EDF Energy’s low carbon charge point package means households can save money by receiving 20 per cent cheaper electricity during evenings and weekends with the Eco 20:20 tariff. Recent EDF Energy trials found that 66 per cent of home charging was carried out during evenings and weekends.

With the Peugeot iOn and Citroën C-Zero, households can benefit with cost savings over a conventional petrol or diesel engine, resulting in a potential annual saving of up to £5,400. It costs £1.92 to charge a Peugeot iOn or Citroën C-Zero from empty, working out at around 3p a mile.

EDF Energy will offer business fleet customers a range of recharging products and services depending on the organisation’s requirements, including site
survey, technical report, installation services and smart metering technology.

The company has been facilitating the site survey and installation of charge points at all Peugeot and Citroën appointed EV dealers across the UK and has already provided training to dealership staff on safe recharging.

Eric Salomon, Energy Field Services Director at EDF Energy, said: "We understand that the take-up of clean, low-carbon electric transport is crucial to Britain in meeting its carbon reduction targets."
