Current Agile prices

Was expecting pricing to be < 5p tonight based on this forecast, but not so.

W are up to 55k and 5.7 year sold and the soc yesterday was 90.5%, the first two years when we were planning on handing back at the end of the pcp we charged to 100% every night - after we purchased (for a big discount of GFV) after two years we have only charged to 80% unless we needed more, last 6 months we have run a daily cycle between 90% and 30% on the v2g DC but only at a max 4.5kw, no idea what impact this will have on the battery life.

This updated tool for comparing Octopus Smart Tariffs is quite useful.

It can show daily & monthly totals for comparing between Agile, Go & Go Faster Tariffs.

Any tool for comparing different tariffs will not allow for the fact that user might have distorted usage pattern to suit a particular one.  Cheapest periods of two different tariffs don't necessarily coincide.    In an extreme example the old 'afternoon boost' from a storage heater tariff might overlap with the Octopus Agile 'deterrent period'.

It does give that warning in the tool above. You have to make a comparison knowing that if you were on a different tariff you would probably shift your high use to the cheapest periods, if practical. The tool does help to identify what could be shifted and if it is worth changing to match your usage profile.
