• Value added package, makes the switch to electric even more accessible
  • Hypervolt to supply and fit a free home charger.
  • Octopus Electroverse to provide £3,000 of public charging credit to reduce cost of ownership
  • ICE cost parity made possible with £6,000 deposit contribution from Skywell

Monday 28th April 2025 (Cirencester, UK), buyers of the new Skywell BE11 can now benefit from a trio of incredible offers, making the move to electric vehicle ownership, seamless and incredibly cost-effective.

Skywell have partnered with Hypervolt, who will supply their sleek 7.4kW Home 3 Pro smart wall box to new owners of the Skywell BE11, with a choice of cable length (from 5m to 10m), so that the wall box provides ease of charging at home, without the awkward stretch or excess draping cable. The wall box will also be made available in a range of colours, so not only will it make charging at home easy, but the wall box will seamlessly suit the aesthetics of your property.

Fitting and certification of the Hypervolt unit is also included in the deal, managed by one of Hypervolt’s nationwide approved fitters.

Head of Partnerships at Hypervolt, David Woodford, commented:
“Hypervolt’s mission is to democratise the delivery of energy, and one of the key methods we’re doing this is through reducing barriers to EV ownership. Working with Britain’s leading EV tariff providers enables us to deliver the cheapest electricity possible to the homes of EV owners, and by aligning with a brand whose mantra is ‘affordability and practicality’ in Skywell, we’ve taken yet another exciting step toward building a greener Britain.”

To minimise the cost of vehicle ownership, in addition to the free Hypervolt wall box, Skywell are also including a whopping £3,000 of public charging credit, thanks to their partnership with Octopus Electric Vehicles and their popular Electroverse App.

Based on an estimated cost of £0.69p per kW from a UK public charger; this offers new Skywell customers with an estimated 15,000 miles of free charging.

The final in the trio of offers, is a sizeable £6,000 finance deposit contribution. Skywell UK General Manager, David Clark commented:
“By us offering an industry leading 7-year / 100,000-mile vehicle warranty, and up to 10 years of roadside assistance cover; we wanted to provide new Skywell customers with a real peace of mind package when they drive away in a new BE11.

Now, with the inclusion, of a free home charger from Hypervolt, and covering the cost of charging publicly thanks to our £3,000 charging credit with the Octopus Electroverse app; we have broken down two of the common barriers to EV adoption – nervousness around home charging installation and the cost of charging on the public networks.

But before all that, bridging the gap to the traditional petrol/diesel equivalent vehicles is paramount. Therefore, our £6,000 deposit contribution now offered, allows the BE11 (a D-segment SUV) to be priced similarly to a medium (C-segment) hatchback. 

The Skywell BE11 is available in two variants, differing only by battery size. The 72kW Standard Range offers up to 248-miles of range (304-miles city); with the 86kW Long Range variant topping 304-miles (401-miles) both tested to WLTP cycles.

Both vehicles come packed with features, which include: electrically adjustable leather and Alcantara seats; full length opening panoramic Skyroof; 19” Lynx alloy wheels; LED lighting front and rear with sequential indicators; wireless phone charging; wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay; front and rear USB ports; in- built navigation; rear 220v socket; 128-colour ambient lighting and a premium German-engineered Metz sound system; with the Skywell BE11 range starting from just £36,995.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
