T8 Owners and Electric charging costs
My Energy supplier contract is up for renewal, and current are almost doubling off peak costs BUT
EDF are offering a go Electric Tariff for electric cars:- Peak 17.8p per KWH off 8.01p per KWH Daily rate 28.60p per day. But the kicker is they install a smart metre AND OFF PEAK then would be:- Mon-Fri 9PM-7AM and ALL WEEKEND IS OFF PEAK COST That could prove to be a substantial saving for using an electric car, shame it is only a year tariff.

Who is the energy supplier and is this deal just for existing their customers?
Argh! Sorry, you've already said that it's EDF. Doh! Last edited by Begonia; Jun 20th, 2019 at 11:39. |

I get 23 miles to 30 miles on a full charge depending on route, and speeds, faster you cruise the less miles you get, but tbh on like a 60 mile journey with regen and battery charging down hill, driving upto 35 miles on battery over 60 mile journey, it is certainly better in the summer than winter. Since last service (week ago) and updates I seem to be getting a little more out of range.

Sorry if this comes across as spam, it is not meant that way.
I still have my xc60 diesel but recently brought a BMW i3 so charging costs were a consideration. I went with Octopus Go, it is only for 4 hours each night but the rate is 5p per KWH off peak and around 14p peak and a 25p standing charge. You need to work out how much of your charging is done in the day versus charging, for me I am combining octopus with solar PV and batteries so I can charge those at night but this is as much a eco decision as it is financial. Now for the spam, mods if this is not allowed please feel free to remove it, I always look for cash back with energy but the best offer is their referral scheme, I used someone else’s and if you use mine we both get £50 credit. The link is https://share.octopus.energy/rust-stone-267 Note that as with EDF You need a smart meter they can read, I have a SMETS2 but they can work with Secure branded SMETS1 and if you don’t have one they can install one but that is on hold for a few months while they test them. |

As for Day Rate, not a great deal of difference on other tariffs.
