I’ve noticed we have more posts relating to electricity tariffs and setting up of EV home charging procedures and was wondering if there was enough interest to set up a permanent sticky.

There is a fair amount of money to be saved charging from home and getting the correct tariff could save more.

I don’t really have much expertise in the topic but I’ve noticed there are those who’ve been using a number of tariffs and actually change tarrif between summer and winter so there must be money to be saved for members to go to the bother.

That was quick, I think it took Octopus 7-10 days to get meter reading. Hope all goes well tonightfor you, I will have to look out the window tonight and see how greener the night is. Green moon perhaps!

Yep, it sure was, I’m not complaining though.

This upcoming week. Friday (tonight), then Tuesday are greener nights for me.

I read that if you can hit 90%, you get £3.50 worth.

I don’t need to charge every day, so as long as I’m not going to see family. I should be able to just charge on those nights.

Wet are with Octopus Go EV rate, at present we are paying 8.5p kWh, this is going to change to 9p kWh, we export at 15p kWh, as from Marc 1st this drops to 12p, given transmission losses 9p is actually 10p kWh, and export at 12p allowing for transmission losses ia actually 11p kWh.

We are now at a point where there is little or no difference between charging up the PHEV on off peak or solar, I can see EV off peak slowly increasing and solar export slowly deceasing due to global market prices.

Australia due to solar generation at time electricity is actually free and charge for actually exporting solar energy.

Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

Sorry @ELTel I missed your reply however, I’m not familiar with the greener nights, as I’m on standard GO and need to charge every night having a PHEV, regardless how green the grid might or might not be.

@Oscarmax I wasn’t aware Go was going up to 9pkWh?

My Tarif come to an end 10th April, Octopus send me a link to renew now 9p off peak and just over 31p + for the next 12 months, I declined and will wait until April to see if the prices drop.
