Opel teams with Energia for electric offer

Opel Ireland has announced a collaboration with Energia, Ireland’s leading independent energy provider, in a bid to simplify the transition to electric vehicles for Irish consumers, writes Trish Whelan.

The partnership offers all eligible Opel customers a comprehensive Energia bundle when they purchase an electrified Opel vehicle including free installation of a smart domestic charger. Customers will also benefit from a 20pc discount off Energia’s 100pc renewable energy supply, equating to up to 11,000 kilometres worth of free driving. The partnership has been announced as the first deliveries of the all-new fully electric Corsa-e and the new Grandland X plug-in hybrids make their way to Opel Dealer showrooms this June.

The promotion is open to friends and family and sees the offer of a €750 Opel eco-booster towards the purchase of the all new Corsa-e or Grandland X PHEV models, for all existing Energia customers.

"Customers simply visit their local Opel dealer, select their new electric or hybrid vehicle, check their SEAI grant eligibility and Energia will take care of the rest,” says Opel Ireland Managing Director James Brooks.

Energia supplies around 25pc of the island of Ireland’s total electricity requirements and 21pc of total wind power.
