With smart meter and a compatible car or charger then it’s hard to beat Intelligent Octopus Go. You do need to shift some household use into the off peak period to get the most benefit. Ovo Charge Anytime also has very low cost charging, that isn’t restricted to overnight, but household use does not benefit.
Best Time of Use tariff is British Gas Electric Drive with 30.5p by day and 5 hours at 8.95p at night, similar pricing to Octopus Go that has 4 hours off peak.
EON next has the longest fixed period at the low rate, 7 hours at 9.5p, but their day rate is high at 33p.
Scottish Power also offer an EV tariff but I was not able to get a quote to include them in this video.
Use of home solar, solar export tariffs, batteries etc will alter my calculations.
4 hours of home charging using a 7kw home charger will add 55 to 120 miles of range to an EV. The lowest number is for a less efficient EV in winter, the highest for a high efficiency EV in summer. Even the least efficient EV in winter, when using the right tariff for home charging, is significantly cheaper to use than any petrol or diesel car. #audi #audietron #etron #ev #charging #octopus

You can always buy a diesel generator to charge it. Oh, wait a minute..
All these electric supply companies should be made to give the same tariffs supply time's.
EV's seem to take control of owner's lives.
Yes, with an ice car, the car is your servant, but with a battery powered car, it's the other way round🙃
It’s a F ing scam.
I lived in Canada for 35 yrs. 81-2015. My electrical charges were 1/2 of broken Britain.
I pay 0.15 GBP/kWh on average during day
I'm with octopus and on most days I get the cheap rate for at least 20hrs a day. On the app I keep telling it I want 100% but the car controls the limit. Even though my car isn't charging, my house is getting the cheaper rate during the day. It's crazy that I'm saving on my electric bill now that I've got an EV compared to before!
I’m averaging just under 17p per kWh for my total consumption, way below the 28.6p price cap.
Do you need a smart meter for these ev tarriff charge. Or can you on the pre pay key top up
You need a smart meter as they have different rates at different times of the day.
Oiy mate, yuv got a loicense for that tariff?!
Link in the video description
My 1.6 litre Skoda Octavia diesel estate does between 12 to 13 miles per litre of fuel. With diesel engines being around 40% motive efficient, and a litre of fuel being around 10KW of energy, that means I am getting 3 miles per KWH equivalent, and 33p per KWH. It seems EVs and liquid fuel cars are fairly comparable price wise on fuel cost at standard rate electricity tariff.
In the UK EVs cost a lot more to run
When I work out costing per mile, I’d need about 200 miles per gallon to match my EV when it’s charged at home and 40mpg when on public rapid chargers in England. Audi Q8 petrol does 25mpg!
I'm with octopus on Octopus go. I also have 2 electric cars plus Tesla batteries, why wont octopus allow me access to octopus intelligent??
It’ll depend on your car model and charger model.
If you have solar and batteries take a look at Octopus Flux.
No mention that the intelligent octopus rate is not available to cheaper evs like the Nissan leaf, only expensive evs
Octopus go is the only one available to a nissan leaf, for just 4 hours at night
British Gas EV tariff gives you 5 hours. Pricing slightly less than Octopus Go in many areas. EON will give you 7 hours but their day rate is high so I doubt it’ll be cheaper.
Nissan Leaf works with Intelligent Go if you have a compatible charger like Ohme, Wallbox or Zappi (Indra coming soon).
Got a zappi but my nissan 2022 is not compliant
@grahambate1567 zappi now compliant with Octopus. Might still be in beta. Call them!
@@ski_tron2446 thank you, will give them a try
No mention of home batteries
In the description, but yes would have been good to mention it in the film.
