5 gift ideas for EV enthusiasts

Looking for the perfect gift for the EV enthusiast in your life? Or for yourself? Look no further

As we head into the holiday season, we share our pick of thoughtful gift ideas to help brighten those EV journeys – from music and entertainment subscriptions, to essential accessories to help drivers through the winter and beyond.

1. EV car care kit

What could be better than a selection of must-have accessories to help your favourite EV owner keep their vehicle in top condition? Essential items like car shampoo, with microfibre cloths to gently clean windows and other high-shine surfaces, and water-repellent wax to add a glossy finish. And if the vehicle has leather seats, consider a leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the material soft and supple.

2. Travel mug

A good travel mug is vital for any EV driver who enjoys a hot drink on the go, because it keeps drinks warm, avoids spills and reduces waste. As the weather turns chilly, a heated travel mug will keep drinks hot for several hours. It’s a perfect gift for EV drivers who regularly make long journeys – or those who simply enjoy a hot coffee or tea on their daily commute.

As the temperatures drop, to help keep your winter journeys cosy we’re offering bp pulse EV drivers 50% off a hot drink at participating Wild Bean Cafe locations.* You’ll find these at many bp pulse EV charging stations

3. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

When temperatures drop, so do car tyre pressures. TPMS is a handy accessory that monitors and then alerts the driver if tyres have dropped towards minimum recommended levels. It's a practical and thoughtful gift that can add safety and efficiency to EV driving in all weather conditions.

4. Music or podcast subscription

A subscription to a favourite music or podcast streaming service is sure to entertain driver and passengers during any EV journey. Look for services that include the option to download songs and shows before hitting the road – that way, the fun can continue even in areas without a strong internet connection.

5. Cosy car blanket

A winter essential for any EV, a car blanket brings added warmth for drivers if they stop for a break, or for passengers enjoying some extra comfort in the back seat. For dog owners, a washable blanket will help to keep their canine companion happy and comfortable in the winter months, and protect car seats from fur and dirt from muddy walks!

6. Tickets to an EV-friendly concert

Know an EV enthusiast who loves live entertainment? Gift them a ticket at the bp pulse LIVE arena – Birmingham’s EV-friendly 15,600-capacity music and entertainment venue. Visiting EV drivers are welcome to the largest bp pulse Gigahub in the UK. This is a bp pulse charging station with 180 charge points, so concert-goers can keep their battery topped up as they’re enjoying their evening. 2026 highlights include live shows from James Arthur, Rick Astley and Def Leppard – to name a few.
