Scottish Power EV Tariff

JimmyMctavish

Scottish Power advertising an EV Tariff on their homepage is a complete misdirect. I'm already a SP customer and it just diverts to my account page. No EV Tarrif available to me it seems

Anyone got any info on this. I get stuck in an endless loop of logging in and asking for a quote and never get anywhere.
Seems the night-time rate is 7.5p which would be good for me and charging batteries but do you actually need to have an EV on sign-up or can you get one later?

Does it allow home appliances during cheap hours

How could it not unless they put in a 2nd meter? 

Some EV tariffs use metering from a smart charge point. Only EV kWh are charged at the cheap rate.

Interesting, which providers do this then?

It has now become common for EV tariffs to include home appliance use during cheap charging hours, in not too distant past from what I read Octopus were relatively unique, Scottish Power do not appear to mention whether can  hence me making comment I did.

Both those links have references to EV in them.

Why would you expect to be on an EV specific tariff without one.

It's a definable class of user - with a year round consumption profile that on average is likely to be significantly different from other users - like those with gch and no ev - or those on say E7 who only consume large amounts of power for heating in winter months.

There's nothing fair or unfair - just marketing to a market segment.
