EV brand Skywell is offering free home charges and £1,000 in public charger credit to those who buy its new BE11 electric SUV.

Priced from £36,995 and with a panoramic opening ‘Skyroof', motion-sensing electric tailgate and a 360 degree parking camera standard on all models, the Skywell BE11 is the first model from the Chinese auto maker in the UK.

It has now teamed up with Hypervolt to offer the Home 3 Pro home charger which has speeds of up to 7kW and is compatible with all leading EV tariffs.

The Home 3 Pro is available in a choice of three colours and cable lengths of 5m, 7.5m or 10m, with standard fitting included.

The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro can deliver a 50 per cent charge in just over six hours; providing over 150 miles of range.

On the Octopus Go tariff, this amount of energy - which is enough to travel from London to Stafford - would cost as little as £3.66, or 2.4p per mile.

In addition, all new retail sales of the BE11 will also include £1,000 of public charging credit on the Octopus Electroverse app which gives access to hundreds of thousands of chargers across the UK and Europe. This credit can provide BE11 drivers with more than 5,000 miles of cost-free motoring.

David Clark, general manager of Skywell UK, said: "The Skywell brand and the BE11 is already making a name as a clear leader for value in the EV sector and this fantastic partnership with Hypervolt and Octopus Electroverse reinforces that stance as we strive to make the conversion for petrol and diesel to electric as easy and as cost-effective as possible".

Hypervolt's head of partnerships, David Woodford, added "Hypervolt's mission is to democratise the delivery of energy, and one of the key methods we're doing this is through reducing barriers to EV ownership. Working with Britain's leading EV tariff providers enables us to deliver the cheapest electricity possible to the homes of EV owners, and by aligning with a brand whose mantra is ‘affordability and practicality' in Skywell, we've taken yet another exciting step toward building a greener Britain."
