    Before switching to Go, it is worth people sitting down for a few minutes to work out their peak/Offpeak usage ratio. A number of EV owners have carried out this calculation and calculated that a standard E7 tariff ( with its longer offpeak period) gives them a lower overall cost. It really depends on EV usage and how much of the daily load can be shifted to the cheap period.
    That is also why the 'Intelligent Octopus' tariff can be a better option if your car is compatible with that tariff...
