EV Electricity Tariff From 9.4p Per kWh Between 12am-5am Daily (Fixed)

"I believe that the energy price cap may fall this autumn and may go back up early next year"

Thanks for the information from a quick Google search.

I think Octopus Intelligent is probably still the better deal, 6 hours per day at 7.5p per kWh and then potentially extra throughout the day for just the EV (depending on charger and car compatibility). I'm just about to move from Agile to Intelligent - both with Octopus.

Intelligent Octopus is 2p cheaper and for 6hrs instead of 5hrs.

The cheaper rate is across the entire household too which will reduce the cost of the phantom load for those 5 hours. Set timers for the washing machine and dishwasher to run during that time too and it's definitely worth it. I'd stop short of getting up at midnight to run the hoover about, but you get my point.

Bad deal as all these deals require you to have a smart meter installed

two words: Intelligent Octopus

We have an EV but are low millage, only charging her on average once every 2/3 weeks. We have gone for the Octopus tracker tariff as it works out cheaper overall.... we could get cheaper with the agile, but don´t want to be working out cheapest time of day to use electric.

I've finally escaped British Gas, I know my story sounds almost cliche on here, but their customer service has gone from okayish to appalling. I tried to move to this tariff a month back, already a British Gas customer, I was transferred on the phone twice after waiting on hold for nearly an hour and a half to be told "nobody at British Gas could help me", that is verbatim. This line came after I complained as to why they couldn't do the simple thing of moving my tariff. Apparently I was on some new billing system and so had to make the switch online, nobody could do it outside that (can't believe that for a moment), anyway I was livid. To give more context this started as a online chat with them, which previously was able to assist me moving tariff, and that chat was where they told me to ring a number, and that number told me I had the wrong department and transferred me again, so you could say I was transferred 3 times. I lodged a complaint, got £30 credited for my troubles and moved to octopus with a referral and got another £50, so they did my a favor in a way. Go with them at your peril.

British Gas could have a special tariff just for me, that paid me £10 per day every single day just to use electricity and gas, and I still would not remain a customer of theirs.

My three year tariff ends on August 31st and even if the process of switching from British Gas to any other company involved inserting a cactus into my rectum, I would do it. Twice.

its a no brainer for me, its same day rate as standard rate im paying already and no early exit fee

Thanks for the information just switched have some heat.

Its better than the octopus tariff as you can charge any car and all your appliances.

Great can’t wait for all those noisy washing machines rattling around in the middle of the morning as it will be cheaper to do the washing

EON's EV tariff is slightly more expensive, but you get 7 hours at cheap rate (12am to 7am).

Electricity Standing Charge:47.209p per day
ElectricityDay Unit Rate: 33.787p per KWH
Electricity Night Unit Rate:9.500pper KWH

Might sound odd, but if you have an EV with a larger battery 5 hours may not be long enough.....likewise, I assume it might be useful if you have a household battery.

I'm with BG which is fine but its over 6 months since i last got a bill it would be great to get one every month or quarterly to stay in control of my payments i use to get them every 5 months but since i had smart meters installed after over 6 months i still have had no bill produced sent a message to them with no reply

“You’ll need to have an electric vehicle you charge at home. We might ask you to prove this.”

Hi, I'm tied to British Gas at the moment (Bit of a story) and currently on a Standard Variable Tariff.
Is there any reason not to move to this EV Tariff?
I have an EV and could do washing, dishwasher etc through the night.

Thanks

Thanks for this. Have a EV coming in early October hopefully September to get free wall box offer. Anyhow as noted on here I switched to octopus but was offered 150 to stay with BG (after 90 days) so it might work out well.

Last thing they are is "BRITISH"! As mentioned billing (despite having a SMET 2 smart meter) were constantly wrong (on their side). Half price electricity overnight saved me 20p on a clothes wash (no dry).

so people, Mrs is getting an EV and even though she will use the work chargers sometime you might need to use one at home. We can get a free Pod point installed so now need to go on a tariff like this.

Is Octopus better? And do you also need a smart meter for that aswell??

Sure is great those well off enough to have an EV get to charge their cars for dirt cheap, whilst there are people that can't get anywhere near these rates and can't afford to heat their water more than once a week.

I will never go near British Gas ever again the rest of my life. Please don’t do it. Everything is hunkey-dorey until something goes wrong. After that, you’re in for a ride. 8 months of my life I fought them, had to go to the energy ombudsman to be treated fairly. They ruined my credit rating and sent debt collectors to my door despite them owing ME money. Don’t do it! (edited)

I have just logged in and failed to find this tariff. I'm not given this as an option, any help?

Just switched to Eon Next which offers 7hrs of charging. Would have gone Octopus but would have required a new charger or a new car! Don't understand why they do this?

Sure the neighbours are going to love everybody's washing machines and dryers going around and around at 2am in the morning.

Second hottest deal yesterday in the Services & Contracts category.  Really pleased with that!  Thanks for all the votes and I’m happy that some of you benefited from this deal.
Cheers.

Great deal. I am on the standard ev tariff with British gas. 37p/kW peak. I cannot see this tariff when I log in, is this for new customers only does anybody know please?

I think you have to prove you have EV which is annoying for someone that simply wants to take advantage of delayed timers etc.

Octopus cheaper. How is this so hot?

As this is technically a fix to sep 2024 I wonder if they will drop the day rate to match the expected drop in unit rates in October.

So the new price cap comes in Sunday. Has anyone looked into whether this ev tarriff is still good value?
