- GEELY E5 buyers in Israel will receive three years of free nighttime home charging.
- The GEELY POWER initiative offers a direct credit to the customer's electricity bill.
- The benefit is capped at 250 kWh per month, covering about 1,500 km of driving.
- This offer is estimated to save buyers between 3,600 and 4,150 shekels over three years.
- The program is a collaboration between GEELY importer Geo Mobility and Super Power.
Geo Mobility, the Israeli importer of the electric vehicle brand GEELY (part of the Union Group), and Super Power (part of the Electra Group) have launched a joint initiative called GEELY POWER. Effective October 11, buyers of the GEELY E5 electric family car will receive an unprecedented offer: three years of free home charging during nighttime hours. This initiative differs from typical automotive perks, which often involve public charging cards or vouchers. Instead, GEELY POWER provides a direct credit to the customer's home electricity bill, integrating charging into daily household routines without reliance on external charging networks.
To participate, GEELY E5 purchasers must join Super Power's dedicated electricity plan and possess a smart meter. They will then receive a direct credit on their electricity bill for consumption between 11 PM and 7 AM daily. The benefit is capped at 250 kWh per billing cycle for 36 months, covering approximately 1,375 to 1,500 kilometers monthly, which is equivalent to the average annual mileage of a private vehicle in Israel.
The financial value of this benefit depends on household electricity tariffs. Since the free charging window falls within off-peak hours (11 PM to 7 AM), when electricity costs are typically around 40 to 45 agorot per kWh, fully utilizing the 250 kWh cap translates to a monthly saving of approximately 100 to 115 shekels. Over the three-year period, this amounts to a total financial benefit estimated between 3,600 and 4,150 shekels for car buyers.
Ronen Yablon, CEO of GEELY Israel, stated that GEELY POWER connects the electric vehicle world with home electricity, offering tangible value as fuel prices rise. Dodi Landsman, CEO of the Electricity Partnership at Super Power, highlighted how the collaboration demonstrates new opportunities arising from Israel's electricity reform, aiming to encourage smart consumption through simple, cost-effective solutions.
The GEELY E5, a recently updated electric crossover, is the first model to benefit from this program. It features a 68.39 kWh LFP battery offering a range of up to 475 km (WLTP), 11 kW three-phase home charging, and up to 100 kW DC fast charging. The vehicle also includes a 15.4-inch multimedia system with Hebrew interface and has achieved a 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP and ANCAP.
