Octopus Tariffs

Hi,
Currently with Avro on dual fuel.
I should be getting an electric vehicle soon, so was thinking of trying out Octopus Agile or Octopus Go in the future.
I first need to switch to Octopus and apply for smart meters.
My plan was to switch to a dual fuel tariff that is on offer, apply for smart meters, switch to the tracker tariff and then eventually swap to either Agile or Go once the smart meters are fitted.
My question in this thread is regarding dual fuel.  I have gas and electricity.  The tracker tariff has prices for both, so that should be fine.
Agile and Go seem to be Electricity only tariffs.  So, would I be able to keep the gas on the tracker tariff and swap electric on to one of the two other tariffs, or would I switch from my current supplier only electric and find an alternative gas supplier?
