AGL Energy will offer customers who own an electric vehicle cheaper overnight charging, as the near 200-year old company accelerates its ambition to tap the lucrative market.

AGL in June partnered with BP to roll out a refreshed tariff plan for owners of zero emission cars. Customers on the plan receive discounts against the default market offer, and these customers will also receive a reduction if they use a BP pulse service station.

Under the terms of the deal, should an AGL customer on the EV plan need to charge away from their home, they will receive a discount of more than 10 per cent when they use one of BP pulse’s charging stations.

AGL hopes to position itself to tap into the growing EV market. Demand for EVs is widely expected to grow, from about 8 per cent of all new sales currently, but there is lingering uncertainty about whether consumers will charge at home, voiding any need for traditional-style petrol stations, or will prefer superfast charging at sites that were once entirely petrol bowsers.
