ScottishPower has launched an ‘end-to-end’ electric vehicle deal alongside a car retailer to offer drivers an EV of their choice with an installation of a home charger, powered with green electricity.
Following last month’s announcement that the company had sold its gas and hydro assets to be 100% powered by wind, the company has continued its shift to decarbonised technologies with the new agreement with vehicle dealership Arnold Clark.
This will allow buyers to purchase or lease an EV, book a home installation of a charge point from Wallbox, and sign up to an exclusive 100% renewable electricity tariff as part of the same package.

ScottishPower’s chief executive Keith Anderson said:
“After removing carbon from how we generate electricity we believe the decarbonisation of the UK’s transport system has to be next. This means industry and government working together to build the infrastructure so we can charge electric vehicles as well as building clean and cheap renewables to bring down the cost of motoring.
“The UK needs to decarbonise transport faster and we have to make the switch to electric vehicles simpler.”
