Yes, particularly the 18:30 slot.
I mostly cook at 20:30, these days, as it's generally the cheapest evening slot, at a suitable eating time.3 -
My rate for the June to September period was 9.34p overall and 9.17p for September. The real test will be October and November if I need to charge the car at higher rates but thus far I've been able to do it very cheaply or negatively.With solar panels I also have to juggle that contribution: fortunately I've plenty of socks and towels and I batch bake when the sun is shining!0

Alright, that's my end of the journey with Agile -> jumped ships to Tomato Lifestyle.
Agile served me really well for the past year, saved £££, but after reviewing past Agile prices for 12 months:
https://agileprices.co.uk/?tariff=AGILE-FLEX-22-11-25&fromdate=20230131
I really look forward to:
-guaranteed 0-6am at 5p kWh for 12 months (so I can shift all thngs there)
-guaranteed 16-19 at 23p for 12 months (so I can watch at ease my family running heating, ovens at 6pm)
Will miss:
-negative price craze
All the best! And many strong winds this winter.3 -

The reason I asked is isn’t 5hrs from 1:00am - 6.00am at 5p and 9:30am - 11:30am + 8:30pm - 10:30pm at 15p and the rest at 23p?0 -

And there are a few options, the default one if:
1-5am 5.56p
9:30-11:30 14.5p
20:30-22:30 14.5p
But selecting EV or Battery cahnges the hours and prices to:
0-6am 5p
9:30-11:30 13.7p
22:00-0:00 13.7p
Some other variations were also avialble but in my opinion not as usefull.
And yeah, I've switched with a date in the future - so don't know anymore than that - just prepared my self to deal with messy start up (in worst case they collapse I'll be back).

tlcgrantham said:Very helpful thanks. I’ve no EV or battery so it’s not as good for me
And tbh staying as honest as we can - we all have betteries at home
Not to mention my 3 years old child's EV..
So it comes down to choice - what's better for you 20:30-22:30 or 22:00-0:00.2
