Staying on drive v4 it’s the best tariff I’ve ever had ❤
I switched from V4 to V5 recently to lock in those rates for another 12 months, just in case it all changes again... ua-cam.com/video/ipKc4wGRGMY/v-deo.html
E.on best for EV but Octopus best for most other things. I'll be sticking with Next Drive V5 😊
Yup, same - it's certainly what the numbers suggest. However, once E.On shut the door to V5 if you don't have an EV this will be an interesting match up to consider
@@everythinghomeI have a heat pump as well which means I can also use octopus cozy, I think this would be far better than solar boost with it's 4-7am and 1-4pm, but considering we are moving into summer I think standing charge is now more important hence I've moved to tomato energy and charge the battery 8 hours per day (overnight and 9:30 - 11:30 top-up)
So I moved form flux to agile and my last years average rate is 14p/KWh, even with the occasional £1KWh days, saying that I was using battery so these rates do not impact me
I charge twice a day over night and 14-16 hours , no matter what the cost is, to make sure I do not import during peek hours
That's a pretty good average on agile. Do you have an EV? I suspect this is what really opens things up to unlocking those super low averages. We're averaging just over 7p per kWh on E.On's next drive V5
@@ScottMatheson-h1q almost worth getting an older leaf and a v2g / v2h charger and just using the car as a battery, not for journeys. And to qualify for EV tariffs
I came to ev5 + 16.5 export from agile + 15p.
I think agile + 15p is better than solar boost, especially if you have the opportunity to select the best half hours to charge.
Possibly not at the moment though, agile looks pretty wild at the moment

Have you looked at octopus go?
Yes, I was on it previously. The off peak rate is higher than E.On next drive. And I'm comparing solar and battery tariffs mainly here
I live in the north east as well and have 5.12kw panels and just upgraded to 20kwh battery. We have 2 ev cars as well. Currently on octopus go and charge between 12.30 and 5:30 that gives me 85% on the battery. That lasts most of the day in winter. Will be interesting to see how it works when there is a lot more sun…
Good to hear from another Northerner Chris. Octopus Go is 8.5p per kWh off peak. We couldn't access intelligent Octopus Go because we don't have the right charger. It would have cost quite a bit to get one installed and the E.On off peak rate is cheaper and for more hours - 7 hours. I looked at it all in detail here ua-cam.com/video/4s_HnKWyRL4/v-deo.html The rate dropped to 6.7p in Oct 24

Go is an EV tariff. This video is about those who don’t have an EV (solar and battery only)
Some customers lie to say they have an EV to get the tariff, but if they are going to do that they might as well stay with the much more competitive EOn Next Drive. Although by doing either Next drive or Go without an EV you are breaching the contract.
I'm on Drive v5. The Boost tariff seems worse in every way, I don't understand it at all. Cannot imagine why anybody would switch to it from Drive. Flux might be viable provided you can store all your power in the battery and export everything during those 3 hours.
Yup, it's definitely no match for next drive V5. But I suppose for those without an EV this will be the only option for them so useful to see how it stacks up against the likes of Flux
@@everythinghome At least on the confirmation email I got when I signed up for V5, it said that *either* an EV *or* a battery system was OK (although I didn't see that mentioned anywhere on the website).
I have to say that I found it particularly difficult to get detailed information on the Drive tariff from their website. They seemed to hide the Ts & Cs away from sight as much as possible.
That's good, as long as you've got something in writing. I doubt they'll check anyway, but you never know. From what I understand now that the solar boost tariff is out, next drive will be EV owners only. Obviously, if you're already on it there is no issue 👍

You can find their terms and conditions here:
www.eonnext.com/policies/terms-and-conditions
Users without an EV will not be able to renew the EV tariff without an EV at the end of the 12month contract.
Octopus have been known to ask for the registration of the EV and to check it online.
British Gas. peak 0.27p off peak 0.08p export 0.15p off peak between 12-5 am standing charge 0.64p good for battery storage
Thanks for the input, that looks like an EV tariff. Presumably, you have to have an EV to get onto it
