Buying an electric vehicle is exciting, but sorting out the home charging situation afterwards? Usually a headache. Between sourcing hardware, finding a certified installer, and shelling out upfront cash, the friction is real.
UK BYD dealer CG Auto Global (operating as CG Motors) is fixing this by partnering with Humax EV Charging.
The headline? UK buyers can now bundle a fully installed, award-winning Humax MX7 smart charger (The MX7 range is currently available in the UK mainland only) directly into their vehicle’s PCP finance scheme.
Here is how this partnership is simplifying EV ownership and why the tech behind it matters.
The One-Stop EV Shop: No Upfront Costs
For both retail consumers and fleet buyers across the South of England, the traditional barrier of upfront hardware and installation costs is gone. Instead, the entire package—starting at £999 including standard installation—is spread across manageable monthly payments alongside the car.
“Our aim is to deliver a premium, no-fuss experience for our customers… This collaboration with Humax EV Charging allows us to fulfil this promise with an integrated package that enhances their vehicle ownership journey.”
— Derek Yu, Deputy Director, CG Motors UK
By removing the logistical hurdle of dealing with third-party installers, the partnership creates a seamless “drive-away, plug-in” ecosystem.
Deep Dive: The Humax MX7 Smart Charger
This isn’t just a basic wall box. The Humax MX7 is a Gold London Design Award winner that packs some seriously future-proof tech under the hood.

To sweeten the tech package, Humax includes an industry-leading 5-year warranty alongside 24/7 UK-based support.
The Bigger Picture: Eliminating “Charging Anxiety”
While public charging infrastructure continues to expand, home charging remains the holy grail of EV ownership for cost and convenience.
As Jeff Kim, President of Humax, points out, this integration allows drivers to easily take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs, drastically cutting running costs while avoiding the time and hassle of public charging stations.
By embedding the infrastructure directly into the vehicle purchase timeline, CG Auto Global and Humax are providing a blueprint for modern, frictionless EV adoption.
