Gridserve has bolstered its EV salary sacrifice scheme with the addition of Go Zero Charge’s Optimus smart EV home charger.

Go Zero Charge’s Optimus home charger gives homeowners access to a range of smart charging functions

The new home charger is available as an option for those on the scheme as part of a range of benefits.

Driven by an intelligent mobile app that maximises convenience, the Optimus gives homeowners access to a range of smart charging functions. Drivers can schedule charges based on cheaper, off-peak tariffs to save money on electricity bills, and can also rent out their charger to help offset their electric costs.

The Optimus also comes with a built-in health check system that updates every 60 seconds.

Robert Buckland, chief leasing officer for Gridserve Car Leasing, commented: “For Gridserve, the Optimus is the perfect home charger; the product is tried and tested with market leading and innovative software, along with superb customer support from survey, installation and onwards. This new option makes for an attractive offer for both employers and employees.”

David Wells, CEO at Go Zero Charge, added: “Go Zero Charge is thrilled to work with Gridserve on the company’s salary sacrifice EV scheme, enabling as many employees as possible to make the transition to EVs. The Optimus stands out among other smart EV home chargers, as Gridserve customers will be able to find out.”
