BYD Jamaica has partnered with Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) to offer residential customers 50 per cent off their electricity bills for six months when they purchase select BYD models.

“This partnership was born out of an increased and growing interest in electric vehicles islandwide, so we decided to incentivise potential customers’ curiosities by reaching out to the JPS, who has enthusiastically agreed to work with us in getting more customers to purchase EVs, specifically, BYD models,” said Sloane Jackson, head of business, BYD Jamaica.

Customers who purchase 2025 models from March to April, and 2026 models from June to July, are eligible for the promotion. The eligible models are the Yuan Plus, Seal, Song Plus DM-i, Sealion, and Shark.

“We do not doubt that Jamaicans will enjoy driving away in their BYD vehicles with the bonus of reduced electricity bills during the promotion period,” added Dionne Nugent, director of business development, JPS.

Upon purchase of any of the models within the promotion period the BYD sales team will send the vehicle registration details, driver’s licence, and current JPS bill with the customer and property number to the JPS team, at which point the discounted bills start from the date of the vehicle’s delivery. Customers will receive up to a 50 per cent discount, or a maximum of $25,000, off their electricity bills for the following six months.

“An electricity bill reduced by up to 50 per cent for six months allows customers to easily and seamlessly start their EV journeys. JPS will also provide a thoughtful delivery care package with a radio frequency identification card, details on how to use the card and the app, and a full list of the 68 JPS/Evergo charging stations across the island,” said Jackson.
