Vanarama and OVO Energy have today launched an innovative new partnership that will put OVO Energy new and existing members in pole position for the best deals on electric car leasing and help them achieve unbeatably low EV running costs.
The ground-breaking arrangement between the UK’s biggest online vehicle leasing business and largest independent energy supplier will see new and existing OVO Energy members able to access the hottest electric vehicle leasing deals through an exclusive new partner site. But that’s not all. When leasing a new ‘Hot Offer’ EV, they will also qualify for a years’ free insurance (worth an average £538) and a fully installed EV home charger. Better still, OVO’s ingenious ‘Free Green Miles’ scheme, converts EV miles into a reduction in energy bills, meaning customers can save money on charging their vehicle and on their household energy.
