There are plenty of tariffs that offer cheaper home charging than that. I get 6 hours of 7.5p/kWh. On a 7kW charger that's enough for a 0-80% charge every night

- mprev 4y agoIs that an Octopus plan? If not, are you able to share the name of the provider and the tariff?
- iso1631 4y agoIs that open to new customers? Forget the car -- topping up a 20kWh battery for £1.50 a day sounds like a great deal for people paying 34p per unit at the moment, would save £150 a month.
- SimonPStevens 4y agoI can't find any plans that are actually accepting new customers for less than £0.27/kWh overnight. I'm pretty sure anything as cheap as £0.075/kWh is grandfathered into a legacy plan. I would be happy to be proven wrong, I'd love to switch plans right now.
- cr3ative 4y agoIntelligent Octopus is open for signups (I believe!) and offers 10p/kWh for some hours overnight and longer for the EV if you let them schedule the charge. There's also Agile Octopus if you just want cheap off-rate. You might need to sign up to Agile then switch to Intelligent if you can't do Intelligent directly. Both require a working smart meter. You'll need to call Octopus in order to switch, their online signups have been suspended (like everyone else). My referral ID is fresh-cub-249 if they'll accept it over the phone, gets us both £50 credit.
- djaychela 4y agoI searched about once a month, and couldn't find any that were taking new customers - other than Octopus who I don't have a compatible car for. Having looked again last night, I found that British Gas are doing a 5 hours of 10p/kWh deal, with more expensive peak electricity, but still enough to save me about £20/week overall. Where do you get that deal?
