EV Optimise- Scottish Power

[Speuk]

Last week I switched from OVO Charge Anytime to Scottish Power and their EV Optimise tariff. Gas meter failed to transfer but they expect to sort that this week.
It was a bit of a risk as on the SP website you need to select which charger (evse) you have and unlike OVO and Octopus a 32amp Commando Socket is not an option. A bit of research identified that like the others they use Enode API to connect with Porsche Accounts so I just selected any charger on their list and hey presto it worked. So far so good after 5 sessions at 8p/kwh with no daytime premium.
Charging is anytime other than 4pm to 8pm.

Their one year fixed tariff is also good value unlike OVO's which is well above MSE predicted rises

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I've always been very happy with OVO but now CA is 14p it's tempting to jump ship - almost all my charging is done at home.

Same here, I stuck with them when it went up from 7p to 14p but decided to try Scottish Power. I still use the Porsche Mobile Charger plus which came with my first Taycan and luckily despite SP not accepting Commando Sockets. (You have to select evse from there extensive list) It works... almost exactly like Charge Anytime.
I looked at the current OVO fixed rate offers and with a bit of help from ChatGPT the analysis suggested these were significantly above what you would pay if Martin Lewis has predicted the market correctly.
The SP 12 month fixed is competitive.

Hope that helps

I've shared a referral link and if you decide to switch we each get a £60 credit

I've just looked and I'm stuck on a fixed term plan until September with a £50 (per fuel) exit fee...but I'll come back and grab this referral link when the time comes to switch! I use a GivEnergy EV charger at home that's never in the supported list, but for OVO I just chose any old charger like you've done, having found it it connects to the car in the case of Porsche anyway.
