Owners of electric vehicles are being told how they could save up to £1,000 a year under the Government’s latest plan to install smart charging across the UK. Electric car experts at LeaseElectricCar.co.uk have researched how EV drivers can save money on their energy bills or even make a profit from the National Grid under the new electric vehicle smart charging action plan.
The new government scheme sets out to unlock the potential of smart electric vehicle charging, helping owners of electric vehicles to save hundreds each year on their energy bills. The government states that the smart charging scheme plans to let motorists charge their EVs when the electricity is cheaper or cleaner.
Drivers can also use the electricity stored in their EVs to power their own homes, allowing them to benefit significantly from lower energy bills. The scheme will also allow consumers to sell the electricity from their vehicles back to the National Grid for profit.
