Just moved over to them and Agile 2 days ago.

Is there an EV charger that's good to get which can sync with the rates?

Is agile a type of tariff on octopus? I take it octopus is just another energy supplier same as edf/ Npower etc? Rates do seem cheap on octopus, 5p and 14p all day. Looked at the edf one someone posted the other day and whilst the night rate was cheap the day rate was 26p compared to my current every hour rate of 13p. May of saved a few pence over night but would of been canned on normal useage and have underfloor heating throughout house as main heating so would of been astronomical through winter!

Yes Agile is another Octopus Tariff but a bit more complicated than the Go Tariff.

Well it looks a great deal, 25p a day standing charge, 5p for 4 hours during night and 14p rest of day. Can you set the car to top up between 0030 and 0430 ?
Is there a better deal in the U.K. than this With £100 cash back incentive? Just got to work out if I have the smart meter they mention now Already installed or not, and confirm my exit fee is only £15 in my edf energy tariff as locked into this until dec 21!

Check out the octopusev https://www.octopusev.com/charging

they offer a discount on install for the EO mini and also discount on the Ohme charger.
I have both of them and they work well.
Am awaiting install of smart meter to switch to the GO Ev tariff. According to the details you can set both of these chargers up to automatically take advantage of the cheap times for charging.

New customer credit of £100 just been announced. The deal is available for 8 days only.
Octopus Go is 5pKW 00.30 - 04.30.
4000 miles has cost me £63 in electricity cost.

Hi Peter, just signed up so hopefully you’ll see the £50 referral fee once all completed.

Got a couple of work colleague with Tesla’s/ incoming Taycans so will be sending them a link to see if I can get a few referrals. Thanks for sharing link.

My EDF EV tariff is 12.5p at all times and once the smart meter is installed, the night rate drops to 8p - but that is something like 9pm to 6am and all weekend - maybe worth looking into what they can offer to keep you

Hmm, that does sound decent! I did check out Edf’s tariffs but didn’t see this so will look again and maybe ask the q around retention!

I had a fun retention call with Scottish Power whom had an EV tariff but could not explain it and then when said it was online only, could not send or advise how to access it :rolleyes: I had moved over anyway but demonstrates how some of the old school established energy co's are still behind the times (albeit they probably don't see uptake warranting the effort to sort it!).

Yes your night time rate will drop to 8bp but your daytime rate goes up! For me in London it would go up to 18p which really isn't worth it...

Just about to post the same as just checked. Very misleading in the wording on the home page but when you click in much more expensive. I have underfloor heating throughout downstairs so day tariff still important as canes electric during day! Nearly 20p for me.
