CUPRA Born is being offered with a UK-first three-month return option

OVO to offer 10,000 miles of free charging and CUPRA has also partnered with Ohme to provide owners with a free home EV charger.

The all-electric, award-winning CUPRA Born is being offered with a UK first three-monthi return option for drivers who are yet to be fully convinced that an EV is for them.

Boasting an efficient electric drivetrain and dynamic handling characteristics, CUPRA Born can now be purchased by people who are considering their first EV but still have some concerns about whether electric car ownership will suit their lifestyle.

Taking the risk out of transitioning to a fully electric vehicle, the offer provides additional peace of mind for drivers and enables them to experience the exceptional battery range, driving experience and charging convenience that Born owners benefit from.

The new offer, named ‘Love Me or Leave Me’, is available now and if after three months the owner decides to hand back the vehicle, CUPRA will return the deposit (subject to damage/excess mileage etc) whether the car was purchased outright or financed. The scheme is offered on qualifying vehicles ordered from CUPRA’s current stock.

Available across all model variants of CUPRA Born, including the high-performance CUPRA Born VZ which packs a 326PS electric powertrain delivering a 0-62mph time of just 5.6 seconds, the scheme gives drivers access to one of the most practical and dynamic electric cars on the market.

“It is safe to say that the new scheme is ground-breaking and will give many drivers who have considered an electric car the impetus to make the leap. CUPRA Born is already a compelling proposition, bringing performance, great range, sporty styling and an outstanding interior into one package that owners tell us they love. But, if the experience doesn’t suit their lifestyle and a driver doesn’t gel with EV ownership, they can hand the keys back after three months.”

Marcus Gossen, Director of SEAT and CUPRA UK

To further support drivers as they transition to EVs, CUPRA has partnered with OVO, one of the UK’s leading green energy suppliers, to offer CUPRA electric vehicle owners up to 10,000 complimentary miles when they add its Charge Anytime tariff to an OVO energy plan. Charge Anytime allows smart charging at home for just 7p per kWh, any time, day or night.

CUPRA has also teamed up with Ohme to offer a free home EV charger. It easily integrates any home charging tariff, enables users to schedule charging and offers full mobile app control for managing charging and keeping track of electricity usage and costs.

“Ohme is committed to ensuring that no driver is left behind in the transition to greater e-mobility,” said David Watson, Ohme CEO. “This is an exciting and innovative new scheme from CUPRA, and Ohme looks forward to continue to work with them as their official home EV charging partner as well as with OVO to bring low cost, low CO2 EV motoring to more drivers.”

If a driver qualifies for the Scheme, they may choose to return their CUPRA Born vehicle at the end of the initial three-month period if they do not wish to continue owning and/or financing it. They will need to Inform CUPRA about their decision by email between 80–100 days after the date on which they received the vehicle. The deposit will be returned minus any damage caused to the vehicle.

Desperate measures, as the EV bubble has well and truly burst. Unreliability with charging infrastructure, issues plaguing vehicles, poor range and massive depreciation who would want to invest in an EV. I went for a Plug-in hybrid and severely regret it, has been problem after problem since day one

Agreed, I am afraid the VAG Group need to do some work on there motors as the Jap/Chinese/Korean EV's are better equipped with tech (which people seem to want). As above there are lots of places in the country (eg not in big towns and with poorer population) where the EV does not make sense.

Added to that you can see BMW now telling the EU to cancel / delay the 2035 date when you can only buy EV but without any handouts from the Govt.

Afraid the European car manufacturing business in my view is having a hard time (just check out the reviews on the Paris Motor Show where all the major players are having issues).


and some good news for the Seat/Cupra brand https://www.reuters.com/business/au...seat-counterpart-magazine-reports-2024-09-09/
