The Challenge:
With the UK Government’s forecasting a 50% surge in electricity demand by 2035, finding economically viable solutions to propel the shift away from traditional fuels to minimise environmental impact is vital.
The Solution:
The partnership pairs Wallbox’s hardware with E.ON Next’s modern energy tariff, allowing Wallbox customers to effortlessly access the E.ON Next Drive tariff when buying their Pulsar Max, a smart home charger meticulously designed to optimise both time and financial savings for EV drivers. By embracing E.ON Next, the average EV driver stands to save up to an impressive £4001 annually when switching to the E.ON Next Drive tariff. The tariff also comes with 100% renewable electricity at no extra cost, fixed energy prices for one year, and no exit fees. This tariff offers customers a lower price for electricity when charging their vehicle at night 1. The user-friendly app allows drivers to set charging times and battery charge levels, optimising the process for efficiency. The E.ON Next Drive tariff not only provides low rates for smart charging but extends savings to home energy usage as well1.
And there’s more! Scheduling charges 2 during periods of low electricity demand actively balances the energy grid, by regulating consumption, leading to more efficient use of energy resources.
