I've left TE mid October for Octopus, paid final bill to TE, and first bill to Octopus.

Received a text message from BG they will look after my bill from now on.. say what 😉?

Me too.  I guess they're just texting everyone in Tomato's database.

Not me, but I left ages ago.

I wonder if they delayed removing people from the books when they were negotiating with investors. That could be a silver lining as it would mean the number of customers was overstated when it failed.

Same text received. I've cancelled my direct debit with Tomato.

BG has an EV tariff. The bad news is the off-peak rate is 9p. Octopus Go/IOG would be a bit cheaper.

And me. 

Just be vigilant if any attempts to switch your supply to BG and if it happens notify your current supplier of an erroneous switch.

Octopus Go does, it's simply a lower price (8.5p) for five hours.  Intelligent Go is more complex, from what I understand it's only cheap while the car's actually charging.

Probably best to wait until you are set up with BG to be honest - to answer your original question!
