Dear all
Wondering if you can help us.
We have solar panels and planning an EV.

This is our energy usage for the last year.
Electricity 1260kWH
Gas          25000kWH

Please suggest the best tariff possible for us to save most money for us.

many thanks in advance

    I don't think there is any such tariff.  There is "Intelligent Octopus Go", "Intelligent Octopus Flux", quite possibly more.  I imagine the one you mean is "Intelligent Octopus Go" but that only works with certain cars or certain wallbox chargers.

    ... So make sure the charger you install is compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go. I'd recommend a Zappi so that you can also do solar charging in future if prices change. Right now it's better to be on Outgoing Octopus for exports as alluded to above.
