Cash for EV Owners: New Scheme Rewards Home Charging

Drivers in the UK can now receive cash rewards for charging their electric cars at home. A new scheme from a popular EV charging provider offers customers the opportunity to earn up to £100 annually in cash and vouchers simply by plugging in their vehicles.

This initiative is designed to support UK residents facing increased energy bills. Eligible customers can sign up through the provider's app and begin earning rewards. The company has already distributed substantial amounts and anticipates paying out over £1 million in rewards by the end of the year.

Drivers benefit from this program irrespective of their current energy supplier. The rewards are accumulated as cash or vouchers, with payouts available once a £10 balance is reached. This system encourages charging during off-peak hours, aligning with lower grid demand and higher renewable energy availability, thus reducing costs.

This move is part of a broader effort to make electric mobility more accessible and affordable across the UK. Officials have highlighted how such schemes incentivize EV adoption by making home charging more cost-effective, with potential savings of as low as 2p per mile.
