British Gas has promised to dish out thousands of miles of free electric car charging for every customer as part of a new EV push.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s largest energy supplier has revealed those using their Hive chargers will get access to 8,000 miles completely free.<\/p>\n

The leading provider said this would be enough for around a year’s supply in a major financial incentive amid the cost of living crisis.<\/p>\n

According to officials, the latest offer will be available to both new and existing British Gas electricity customers who have a smart meter and purchase a Hive charger.<\/p>\n

FreeCharge can be activated in the Hive app with British Gas then paying back customers for any electricity they use.<\/p>\n

However, customers do not need to be committed to a specific tariff to take advantage of the new scheme.<\/p>\n

Gav Murray, Director of Hive at British Gas warned the move would help \u201caccelerate\u201d progress.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe are on a mission to do all we can to make greener home solutions more affordable and accessible.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs more electric vehicles hit the road, we want to make sure the right products are available for those who are able to make the switch and encourage as many people to do so as possible.<\/p>\n
