Everything you need to know

What is an EV tariff?

Unlike conventional energy tariffs, EV tariffs are designed to offer flexibility and cost-effectiveness for people who rely on their electric vehicles for daily transport - whether that’s driving to work, taking the kids on the school run or using your vehicle throughout the day.

We believe that if you can work out the right balance you can make an informed decision about your energy use and expenses for your EV charging.

Get a 6.5p/kWh off-peak rate for your EV every night from midnight-6am. When you use smart charging, that same low rate also applies to your whole home.

The Benefits of Choosing an EV Tariff for Charging Your Electric Vehicle

As more drivers switch to electric vehicles, managing the cost and efficiency of home charging has never been more important. A dedicated EV tariff is designed specifically for electric car owners, offering cheaper electricity rates during off-peak hours and helping you charge smarter, cleaner, and more affordably. Here’s why choosing an EV tariff makes a real difference.

1. Significantly Lower Charging Costs

EV tariffs typically offer reduced electricity prices overnight—when most drivers plug in. This means you can fully charge your EV for a fraction of the cost compared to a standard electricity tariff. Over a year, the savings can be substantial, especially for drivers who cover higher mileage.

2. Charge When Energy Is Cleanest

Off-peak charging usually aligns with periods when the grid is under less strain and often powered by a higher percentage of renewable energy. An EV tariff helps you charge in a more environmentally friendly way, reducing your carbon footprint without any extra effort.

3. Make the Most of Smart Charging

Many EV tariffs work seamlessly with smart chargers. These devices automatically schedule charging for the cheapest and greenest hours—no need to remember to plug in or turn things on and off manually. Set it once, and your charger does the rest.

4. Protect Your Home from High Peak Rates

Standard tariffs can have higher rates during busy times of day. With an EV tariff, your essential charging happens outside those windows, helping you avoid unnecessary energy costs.

5. Faster Payback on Your EV Investment

Lower running costs mean the overall cost of owning an EV becomes even more attractive. An EV tariff accelerates your savings and improves your long-term total cost of ownership.

6. Ideal for Households with Solar or Battery Storage

If you have solar panels or a home battery, an EV tariff can work alongside your existing setup—letting you top up cheaply overnight and use self-generated clean energy whenever possible. It maximises your home energy ecosystem.

7. Flexible and Future-Ready

Energy providers are continually evolving EV tariffs with features like weekend discounts, app-based controls, and real-time pricing. Choosing an EV-focused tariff ensures you stay ahead of the curve and benefit from ongoing innovations.


Drive Further, Pay Less, and Charge Smarter

Switching to an EV tariff is one of the simplest ways to reduce the cost of driving electric. Whether you're new to EV ownership or looking to optimise your home charging setup, an EV tariff puts you in control of your energy use and savings.
