    Easier to find if you filter by domestic and fixed.
    I think Octopus pulled that one last week and replaced it with the 16 month one
    Ah thanks, I misread the post and was thinking of the 16 month one.

    For my first year or two on Octopus Go, my EV was one of these.
    It met their definition:
    Octopus Go is designed for customers who either own or have a long-term lease of a battery electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle that they will be charging at their home that we supply.
    Wonder if an e-bike would also qualify...

    Have an Ohme Pro charger too. Would that get me the IOG tariff despite not being able to use it to charge an e-bike ?

    Maybe using a kettle to be the house boiler for hot water at 100% efficiency and a fan heater qualify everyone for Cosy?

    I filtered by domestic which threw up about 17 (?) tariffs but not the Jan 25 14 month
    It isn't a current tariff, it was replaced with the Feb 16 month tariff, I just locked it in a couple of weeks ago...

    Eastern Region



    Interesting seeing those rates, any idea where I can see the current Economy 7 rates for Eastern Region? I've searched their site in vain.

    My Dec 23 tracker ends 28 Feb, after looking into my options I have decided to move to the 16 month fixed as there does not seem much difference between the various Octopus tariffs when I have checked on Octopus Compare app the Dec 23 tracker not faring well, the 16M is just over £1 cheaper over the past month and the Dec 24 is £7.50 more expensive.  
    If I change to the 16 month now do I do from today or from 28th Feb or does it not really make much difference? Can I do this online or do I need to contact them.

    Get it booked in now in case the prices go up.

    Start it when your existing tracker ends - otherwise you won't be able to join tracker again for 9 months (you might change your mind, so keep option open).

    Additionally I assume Dec23 tracker is cheaper than any other option at this time? Therefore don't switch immediately. 

    I'm not sure if it can be done online. Dual fuel I think yes, but think single fuel switching doesn't work properly online. Contacting via social media is an alternative, or email I guess? Perhaps even phone?
