If you say so 🙄

 

My current Octopus Go tariff

9.00p KWh (00.30 - 04.30)

31.03p kWh Day rate

Day rate penalty is 0.31p KWh (normal rate 30.72p kWh) hence well worth being on the tariff

Do the maths based upon 14kwh to charge the car 4x/week and normal daytime usage of 12kwh/day

12 kWh a day? Crikey - no wonder the tariff works for you.

Differential on my tariff is over 3p/kWh but I reckon that I will still save c£200 per annum on this via Octopus Go. 

Annual usage overall is 6000kWh of which around 33% is for the car.

I don’t get your point 🤔 - Tariff works whether daytime usage is 2kwh or 50kwh.

Apologies - you're right. I blame working and messing about on forums at the same time 🙃

I've been in a similar boat with my EV, trying to navigate the best charging tariffs. It can be tricky finding the right fit for cost efficiency. I remember stumbling upon some useful insights on managing EV charging expenses on websites like https://smarterbusiness.co.uk/. They offered practical tips that helped me make informed decisions.
