According to the Octopus website you dont necessarily need a wall box if you have a compatible car! 

But you will be charging at a really low rate.

7kW isn't a "really low rate".

Hope the sockets & wiring are up to high load over a prolonged period. 

Do you have any reason to think their wiring won't be up to it? Because if not, you're scaremongering.

If they do not have a wall box then they will not get 7 kWh..

Sure they will, with a 32A circuit and a CEE socket.

Did you not follow the link?

This so called help is just virtue signaling.

I have a relative who is an E-ON customer and should have been able to access this.

First of all it is only available if you are entitled to a warm home discount, some people live in properties built this century that are "deemed" OK for energy just because they are modern, but they they are cold.  I did a search for the energy performance on all types of home in their estate; from flats to townhouses and they are all deemed OK because of the year they were built.  Also people eligible for the warm home discount are already getting £150 on top of other support.

Next E-ON reduce the headline grabbing clickbait of 50% to 25% if you have NOT been irresponsible and are NOT in debt to them.  This really gets my goat, the Government has given us all help and provided even more help for some, but people spend their money on fast food deliveries, cigarettes or drugs and they are rewarded for not paying their energy bill.  

Thames Water offer a genuine 50% discount based on your household income, no other conditions, no virtue signalling.

And OF COURSE E-ON insist that you MUST accept a smart meter to be eligible for this so called "help".

All this does is make me despise E-ON for this fake virtue signalling. 

It seems that this so called help is more about help E-ON with bad debt and getting their smart meter bonus payment than a real social conscience.

I was hoping to help a relative with this offer, they could have really used this tariff so they could put heating on this winter without stressing out. 

I am going to help them switch away from E-ON.

Think you've posted in the wrong thread,this is about the Next Drive tariff,not about the "help" on offer for some,not others.
I see from another thread that Octopus beckons,good luck,people seem generally delighted with them on the whole.

@PascalG, you've got on the wrong bus.  You want the number 73, which is a few stops down: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6477711/e-on-next-25-discount-winter-support-scheme#latest
