Renault has teamed up with Octopus Energy to offer customers a year’s worth of free charging and access to Octupus low cost tariffs
Customers ordering a Scenic E-Tech or Megane E-Tech 100% electric vehicle by December 16 can qualify for a one-off credit covering up to 10,000 miles of off-peak charging using Renault’s Mobilize Smart Charge app.
The app allows Renault electric vehicle owners to optimise the cost of charging their car at home while reducing their carbon footprint thanks to intelligent charging scheduling.
Mobilize Smart Charge determines the optimal charging schedule by considering grid capacity, the availability of renewable energy sources, electricity prices, and the user’s charging preferences such as desired charge level and departure time.
The Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, which offers electricity from 100% renewable sources, allows customers to charge their EVs at the low rate of 7 pence per kWh during off-peak hours.
According to Rosa Aguirre, COO of Mobilize UK, this partnership exemplifies a customer-centric approach to efficient, affordable EV ownership.
“Our collaboration with Octopus Energy is a fantastic demonstration of two innovative brands coming together to advance smart charging technology. It is our ambition to help customers enjoy the very best electric vehicle experience, and the availability of the specifically designed tariff ensures that we provide an all-encompassing offering that merges award-winning electric vehicles with highly optimised charging solutions.”
