Well I Am on octopus agile and we had a super period of zero cost charging. Beyond that just got to manage when I charge but usually get around 10p/kwh still way cheaper than petrol of course. I have an MG4 to state.
@@ski_tron2446 of course and research is needed, I was on flexible for a week checking out the compare tool then clear that agile best for me (also have solar and ASHP)
How about the EDF electric car tarrif. We’ve been on it since 2021 and nothing comes close with the scope of the low rate. Yes it’s 17p but we get 10 hours every night and ALL weekend. Works great at our house with 2 battery electric cars.
Didn’t know about that one, if it’s open to new customers please provide a link and your referral code if you have one. You can charge 2 cars simultaneously with intelligent octopus go. One smart charging and one set to the default 2330-0530.
For most people those home charging costs will be frightening, I've had solar and battery for the last two years and have net zero cost over the year and as you say I'm not that worried about the efficiency of the car but I'm a bit panicky if I'm on a long trip and can't get to a Tesla open to all charger
My mindset is that because most of my charging is at home and very cheap, on the few times a year I need to use a public charger, the high cost is already offset. I don’t think EVs make economic sense to drivers with no home or workplace charging and reliant on public charging

Agile is a great option for some, as is Octopus Flux. Depends on your usage.
