British Gas has built on its partnership with Toyota with HomeCharge, a domestic wallbox chargepoint designed exclusively for Toyota electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

British Gas and Toyota have had a strategic partnership over the past three years to help accelerate the adoption of EVs in the UK. During this time, the energy provider has installed more than 1,500 Hive EV chargers at Toyota and Lexus customers’ homes.

Kim Royds, head of mobility at Centrica, said: “To get more electric vehicles on the UK’s roads, we must see greater collaboration and knowledge sharing between industry leaders, OEMs and energy providers. That’s exactly what we set out to do in partnering with Toyota – and it reaffirms our ambition to help drivers seamlessly transition into low emission vehicles.”

British Gas and Hive are providing customers with a variety of tariffs, including SmartCharge – currently the cheapest way to charge an electric vehicle in the UK.
