Octopus Energy £100 New Customer Credit.

[Persuader]

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.

Yes. Nothing beats Octopus. I only charge during the 4 allocated hrs 00.30 & 04.30 at 5p which gives me 85 miles for the day at 5p.

Hi, new to this ev thing, so do you plug in every night and charge for 4 hours to top up? I’d need more than 85 mile range daily so would need topped up.

Am I right in saying if charging at 7kw hour for 4 hours This would be 7 x 5p x 4 so roughly £1.40 for you suggested 85 mile range ?

Yes I plug in on a timer most nights for the 4 hours. If you have used more than 28kw then just set it to keep charging after 04.30 which will be at the normal rate of 13 odd pence.

All good if you have a level 2 smart meter.
I have spent a week trying to get an answer from current supplier Scot Power when they will fit a smart meter and the best I can get is by 2025 latest!!!
OVO Energy have a smart meter tariff and expect to be able to fit within 3 months. Some get outs, but we will save money over current supplier even if they can’t fit a smart meter.
The other consideration is the standing charge which can vary tremendously.

Octopus arranged for the fitment of my Level 2 smart meter straight away when I joined which was about 2 months ago. Their standing charge is circular 25p per day which is pretty standard.

Can’t you use the gen 1 smart meters also, as thought somehow these were being upgraded remotely.

My smart meters was no good with the current electric provider but had some sort of update was applied July time and now is sending readings remotely. Prefer a level 2 but presuming my level 1 upgrade will still work with the tariff.

When you say Timer do you mean the car timer profile or something else?

Has anyone moved to Octopus with 3-phase? Looking to move but heard its taking a white to install the 3-phase smart meters

I use both my car timer and set my EO charger to only operate between 00.30 and 04.30 just to be sure.

Thank you. It's great. I've earned £700 in £50 referral fees so far. Enough for 4 years free electric motoring (compared to paying 5p KW). Also equates to over £6500 fuel saving compared to paying for petrol/diesel equivalent.
