Santander Consumer Finance and MG Motor unveil a pioneering benefits scheme, ‘The EV Benefits Ecosystem’, tailored for enthusiasts shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), strategically timed for the September 73-plate change.
This initiative, accessible to clients financing their fresh vehicles through MG Motor Financial Services, derives its power from the innovative platform, ZoomEV. ZoomEV has garnered respect for its ability to deeply engage with customers, discerning and mitigating apprehensions about embracing electric mobility.
Through MG Motor’s expansive dealer network of 153 dealers, customers are granted a portal to a wealth of privileges. These encompass exclusive discounts on vital EV services, such as home charging installations and public charging tariffs, educational content about EV nuances, expert phone support guiding users through essential services, discounts on widespread parking, reduced rates for emergency roadside recharging, and opportunities to vie for free kilowatt-hours of charging.
Stewart Grant, Commercial Director at Santander Consumer UK, voiced, “Making the switch to electric is a big decision for car buyers which is why we are making it easier for them by joining forces with ZoomEV to launch this ecosystem of EV benefits to all customers choosing to finance a new MG EV or PHEV through MG Motor Financial Services.”
Grant accentuated their enduring vision of aiding customers into the realm of EV. Feedback from an earlier survey this year pinpointed education and cost as prominent challenges. “The EV Benefits Ecosystem addresses key concerns about going electric and provides a host of cost-saving benefits from leading EV service providers, coupled with the reassurance of an over-the-phone support service right from the start of their EV ownership experience,” Grant elaborated.
Echoing this sentiment, David Allison, MG Motor’s head of product and planning, observed, “Launching the EV Benefits Ecosystem in time for the all-important September plate-change sales period will provide new MG customers with attractive added-value benefits which will enhance their buying and ownership experience with cost savings and peace of mind, which are key parts of the transition to electric.”
This exemplary ecosystem is bestowed upon MG Motor Financial Services clients at zero surplus expense and remains valid for an entire year, underscoring MG Motor and Santander’s dedication to propelling a sustainable future.
