Electric Vehicle? - duel fuel deals

she_ra_1

Hi All,
I've recently changed my gas and electric tariff... and found some great deals if you own an EV.
They're not very well advertised, and the deals can't always be seen when logged into your supplier. EDF for instance, when I logged into my account, I was unable to see the tariff. When I searched online for specific duel fuel deals for people with an electric car there are a few deals, which offer a reduced price for overnight.
British Gas/ Scottish Power are from midnight, EDF from 21:00pm. Both end early morning.

Just sharing the information....

(p.s. they ask for confirmation of your car registration details)

Octopus have a couple of excellent tariffs for BEV users. Octopus Go is 5p per kWh between 00:30 and 04:30. Agile Octopus can go negative pricing in the middle of the night so they pay you to use electricity, BUT, it is very expensive early evening. I am going with Agile as I have a battery that will supply me at that very expensive time.

Ooooo, the higher prices early evening would cancel out benefits for me going to Octopus. 
The time they have the lower prices is too short, and wouldn't cover my car pre-warm/ battery prep for leaving the house.

Before going over to the Agile tariff I was paying just over 9p per unit off peak and 17p per unit during the day (economy 7 special MSE tariff). On the Agile tariff, most of the day the rate is less than the off peak rate I was originally paying. Most days we are able to avoid the 4pm to 7pm time slot and so are effectively at or below the old economy rate for all our electricity usage. As my EV miles are quite low I am usually able to use the PV output to charge the car for most of the year and choose an hour or so during the night in winter if there is insufficient sun.
