What a load of fucking bollocks.

Looked in to this as our fixed price deal was coming to an end.

Looks like a no brainer, 8p kw/h during the night. But then they absolutely bend you over during the day with 35p kw/h

Ran all my numbers and even with 15k miles a year (which is way more than we'll do) couldn't make it to pay.

Ran it through chatgpt for a laugh. Told me it would work if I boiled my kettle and cooked all my food after midnight. Fucking AI

I'm so glad I don't drive anymore

I’ve got a plugin hybrid and Mrs has full EV

Can’t remember the numbers I got quoted but came to the same conclusion

At least one of us is WFH every day so the daytime costs would have been enormous

Just chose decent standard tariff

Exactly the same situation as us.

Currently with E-on and get these offers so just stick one of the cars on charge and collect the rebate. Worked out it costs about £4 to charge mine for about 40 miles of battery. Had up to £3.50 rebate on their most generous offer

I’ll give that a look. Ta. 👍

I pay around 35p/kwh for leccy anyway.

If I was to go on an ev rate, then the day time rate would be higher!

On the face of it, that doesn't sound too bad!

I don't use an ev set up though, as my mileage is bugger all.

Just checked again- got it wrong, around 22p per khr.

Bastard standing charge is the twatty bit.

Who are you with Mick?

I've just reviewed and renewed with octopus.

New 12 month fixed tariff has seen electricity go up 2.8p/kwh, but standing charge fall by a similar amount.

Likewise with gas- unit price increased by standing charge fell.

God knows why, but I've snapped their hands off, given what's been happening in the world.

We were with octopus. Just gone to Fuze.

I'm octopus agile, when is cheap, or free (like it is from 12:00 to 14:00 today) I charge the car and also top up my batteries.

I've found this tariff by far the cheapest, but it probably only really works if you have some level of battery storage

Do you have solar panels too?
