npower has launched what it claims is Britain's first energy tariff, designed to support the uptake of electric vehicles (EV) by offering owners cheaper charging rates.
The 'juice-e' is a certified green energy tariff will provide electric car owners with off-peak electricity charges when charging their EV overnight and will be available across Britain to anyone who has a charging point at home.
"The launch of juice-e is the first step on a journey towards realising the benefits of an electricity-based transport system. In the coming months we will begin to explore the possibilities of vehicle-to-grid (V2G), where EVs sell energy back to the grid at peak times, and vehicle-to-home/business where EVs can provide electricity in the event of a power-loss."
