    For anyone with EV, this is a brilliant tariff from EON, it’s called “Next Drive Fixed V4” and is fixed for 1 year from when you get moved onto it. (no exit penalties).

    I was previously with Octopus Energy on their Tracker rate, which became a bad tariff in my mind in November, so I looked for a better one with Octopus first. Intelligent GO will not work with my vehicle nor my podpoint charger so that was out. Octopus GO only gives 5 hours and is more expensive.

    So I searched the market and found the following EON Tariff which gives 7 hours @6.7p and the rest at 24.13p

    Electricity
    Next Drive Fixed V4

    Fixed term ends 05/12/2025

    12AM – 7AM

    6.70 p/kWh
    7AM – 12AM

    24.13 p/kWh
    Standing charge

    64.17 p/day
    (All rates inc. VAT)

    So I moved my Electicity only (left my gas with Octopus) to this tariff in December 2024

    An update on how it’s going – over the moon with it! I setup my podpoint charger to only charge midnight to 7am which works a treat. Also any other electricity in your house being used by other devices attracts the lower rate. So get up at 6am and put on the washing machine and

    Thanks!
