Nissan is offering existing and new Leaf customers a free Chargemaster Home Charging Unit with free installation from British Gas and free access to the POLAR public charging network of 1,500 charging points, until the end of March 2013.

The offer is available to all EV customers who live in the Source London, Source East, Midlands and Milton Keynes Plugged-in Places regions.

Nissan said the Chargemaster home system can charge the Leaf a third faster when compared to a mains supply socket.

The free installation includes a free home charger suitability survey, installation, testing and full instructions on use.

It also comes with a one year warranty on parts and labour and a three year warranty on the charger.
