EV Tariff - Scottish Power

SP introduced an EV reduced tariff in the middle of September 2023.  My 2 year fixed rate had just ended on 31/08/23 and I went on to their fixed variable rate for gas/electricity.  Earlier in August, I had asked about an EV tariff but was told, quite correctly at that point, that they did not have one.  No-one mentioned that there was one about to be introduced.  It was in October that I spotted their newly introduced EV tariff.  I went online and hit the 'get a quote' link.  This created a message telling me to check my email.  The email instructed me to login.  This took me back to my account where I once again hit the 'get a quote' link. This loop continued another couple of times.  Has anyone else been on this roundabout?  If so, how do you get off and get a quote?  I have sent them an email asking for help on 15/11/23 but no reply yet despite their 'within 5 working days if possible' suggestion.

    +1 I'm not sure if SP EV Tariff is actually Live yet, I'm also waiting for their other TOU tariffs to go live.
    In a flat so I won't be able to use home charger, though can possibly make use of 1 TOU Tariff.
    I had tried a few times, maybe their EV Tariff is too popular.

  • Thanks for your comments Dandytf.  I don't think it is the case that the SP EV tariff is not yet 'live'.  Otherwise, I would expect SP to preface their online blurb with 'Coming soon!' or similar.  I know that other SP customers have been having the same 'loop' problem as me.  Hopefully, SP will eventually reply to the email I sent over 2 weeks ago.  I will report back on their reply.
    Rheumatoid, I suspect that your reply is here by mistake.

    If you check the link I posted you will see that this has already been discussed.

  • I do apologise for that.  You might have noticed that this was my first post on this forum.  I did not notice the link

    No problem. I thought it might be helpful as it discusses some of the issues. There doesn't seem to be much info at all which is pretty typical for SP!

    Just switch to Octopus (like everyone else), claim the £50 and enjoy charging for 7.5p per kWh. Easy as you like.
