ENERGY firm Scottish Power has linked up with a car retailer Arnold Clark to offer drivers a “hassle-free” switch to electric vehicles.

The deal will feature home charging points and an 100% renewable electricity tariff.

Customers will also be able to schedule charging via an app to take advantage of cheaper unit rates at off-peak times.

A survey commissioned by the energy provider says one in five adults will consider buying or leasing an electric vehicle by the end of 2021.
