BYD and energy company E.ON have launched a home-charging offer in Germany that can provide qualifying customers with a stated benefit of about €20 per month for at least 24 months. The programme applies to all BYD battery-electric vehicles and Super Hybrid models using DM technology, according to BYD.
The offer is based on smart charging rather than a simple discount for plugging in at home. Customers use the My E.ON app to set their intended departure time and the desired battery level. Smart Mode then manages the charging process, with the app controlling the remaining charging schedule.
Who can use the offer
The documented eligibility covers BYD BEVs and Super Hybrid vehicles with DM technology in Germany. BYD also says that eligible new E.ON customers receive an additional one-time €80 BYD benefit at launch.
The available information does not describe the monthly amount as a general BYD ownership payment. It is tied to the joint BYD–E.ON charging offer and its smart-charging conditions. The “about €20” figure is therefore a stated programme benefit, not a guaranteed reduction in every customer’s electricity bill or a universal cash payment for all BYD owners.
How smart charging is set up
Participants enter two practical requirements in the My E.ON app: when the vehicle should be ready to leave and the battery level it should reach. After those settings are provided, Smart Mode controls the rest of the charging process. The supplied programme information does not specify additional technical requirements, tariff details or a different calculation for individual charging patterns.
That distinction matters for owners comparing the offer with ordinary home charging. The benefit is connected to using E.ON’s smart-charging arrangement and the app-based settings, rather than simply owning a compatible BYD vehicle. Customers should check the documented German offer conditions before relying on the stated monthly amount.
A Germany-specific BYD benefit
BYD presents the arrangement as a German customer offer with E.ON. The supplied announcement does not establish availability in other European countries, the UK or the US. The €20 figure and the one-time €80 benefit should therefore not be treated as Europe-wide BYD benefits or as terms that automatically apply to vehicles bought in another market.
The programme is also separate from the vehicle’s charging hardware, battery capacity or charging performance. The announcement describes a service arrangement involving E.ON’s app and Smart Mode; it does not provide new specifications for BYD’s vehicles or claim that the offer changes their charging capability.
For German buyers and owners, the key checks are whether the vehicle is a BYD BEV or a DM-technology Super Hybrid, whether the customer qualifies as a new E.ON customer for the €80 benefit, and whether the required smart-charging setup is used. The stated monthly benefit runs for at least 24 months, subject to the offer’s documented conditions.
