Centrica and Ford partner to offer EV services to customers

As Ford's new electric vehicles are launched, the carmaker is partnering with Centrica to deliver a dedicated home charging installation service and cheaper EV tariffs from British Gas. Centrica will also make its installation service available to support Ford’s dealership networks across the U.K. and Ireland.

“Ford is committed to delivering one of the most comprehensive line-ups of electrified vehicles for our customers, powered through the Ford home charger Wall Boxes," said Andy Barratt, managing director, Ford of Britain.

“With their scale, experience and access to the electric grid, our partnership with Centrica will enable us to offer a one-stop shop for our customers as they transition to an electrified vehicle, including exciting new vehicle options, wall box, installation service and electricity tariff.”

Every new Ford passenger vehicle in Europe will include an electrified option – mild hybrid, full hybrid, plug-in hybrid or full battery electric.

Sarwjit Sambhi, CEO of Centrica Consumer, said: “We’re committed to helping our customers to make the transition to a lower carbon future and are proud to be supporting Ford with the launch of their new electric vehicle range.

“I believe we are uniquely positioned to help customers at home and in business to make the shift to electric vehicles, harnessing the power of our global network of over 13,000 technicians and engineers to deliver solutions that are simpler, faster and more affordable for consumers.”
