Select Car Leasing has partnered with charge point installation platform Rightcharge to ease the hassle of installing EV charge points at work or at home.

The tie-up enables Select Car Leasing to easily access Rightcharge's recommendation engine, helping them find the right charge point for them in just five clicks.

Recommendations are based on the customers' specific needs – such as whether they will be able to charge at night, whether they have solar panels, or if they need to charge more than one electric car or van – helping to future-proof their choices.

David Lewis, head of electric vehicles & energy at Select Car Leasing's 'Select Electric' division, said the collaboration will help make switching from a petrol or diesel car to an electric car as simple and affordable as possible.

"We needed a simple and smart charging solution for all our electric car and van leasing customers – and Right charge, being a leader in the market across the UK, is the perfect fit. This partnership is a no-brainer for us."

Select Car Leasing customers are also able to get exclusive low prices from Right charge's network of 100+ vetted and monitored charge point installers and also benefit from having access to a dedicated Right charge Hotline for help and advice.

Charlie Cook, founder of Right charge, said: "As more Brits transition to an EV for the first time – often with a car lease arrangement to go electric – one of their main concerns is ensuring they can charge their vehicle easily and inexpensively. We’re delighted to be able to make this simple for them, whilst also encouraging more drivers to make the switch to electric."

The cost of a home charger from Right charge starts at around £840, including standard installation and VAT. Select Car Leasing customers can choose to pay in installments if they wish. As an example, the Smart Pro Plan charger from Egg starts at £27.50 per month, with the first year at only £24.50 per month. Dedicated
