I was considering moving from OVO to Octopus, but with this change, I am considering staying where I am.
With OVO, I will be able to charge at 7p/kWh at any time, day or night – but only the EV charging can benefit from this rate.
Are there any advantages now to switching to OVO? I know I can run other loads such as the washing machine during the 7p period – but it only uses 1kWh on a cycle, so I would save £17p per wash – hardly worth the inconvenience of only being able to charge the car overnight at the cheaper rate.
