Vauxhall and British Gas team up
British Gas and Vauxhall Ampera (which has just won car of the year) have teamed up to produce an electric vehicle with an enhanced ownership experience. In a nutshell British Gas has created a home charging solution which is said to significantly reduce Ampera’s (EV car) charge time, making it around a third faster, as it allows the Ampera to draw 16 amps of charge (compared with the regular six or ten amps normally available to householders.)
