    No point in calling them.  BG don't publish most of the BG tariffs on their website, let alone those of BG Evolve.  They don't want to alert existing customers that they are being ripped off !
    You'll have to switch via a comparison site.
    It's so annoying. The only comparison site I found the tariff on is Citizens Advice, but the site tells you to visit the supplier's site to switch. And then the tariffs don't appear on the supplier's site. 

    Update: Went on Money Expert's comparison site and found an even cheaper deal with Utility Point - £333 based on my usage, fixed for 12 months. Did the math and it works out. Went straight to Utility Point's website and found the tariff there - will probably switch to them. Is there a sticky for energy comparison sites?

    Good job I checked again earlier. A new British Gas tariff (Online Fix Jan 2022v8) cropped up on Citizens Advice's website - £362 based on my usage - fixed until 21/01/22 and there's a £20 exit fee. Nice saving over the British Gas Evolve tariff (£372, fixed for 12 months but no exit fee).

    Edit: This is annoying. I went directly to British Gas' website to look for the tariff and it's not showing up in the list of tariffs for my quote. I'll give them a call.
    It's no longer available to new customers.  When did you search for it?

    Only a few hours ago. It didn't show yesterday; only this evening.
