Doing plenty of research in readiness for an EV.
Currently with Eon on a “regular” fixed rate but with 1st choice car (Enyaq) + Ohme charger I’m eligible for their drive smart tariff at 6.5p off peak & 32p peak. Rough, educated calculations I’m looking at around £115/month bill.
They also have a non smart tariff where off peak is 7.5p and using same figures for estimate the monthly electricity would be around £125.
But, I’m coming across loads of problems people have with smart tariffs, ranging from won’t charge, not getting off peak rates, having to go in 1 app to stop charge so smart tariff can do it’s thing.
Currently pay £100/month so looking at cost of running an EV between £15 & £25 (both way cheaper than what I currently spent on petrol so I’m wondering if the extra £10 less is worth the hassle.
The impression I get is issues arise due to multiple charging apps for car, charger & electric supplier.
Issues don’t seem to be just Eon as seen similar problems with Octopus IOG.
How are people here finding things?
