    OVO Charge Anytime? You might save enough on charging the car to pay for your washing.
    I'm not being lazy ...
    I'm just in energy-saving mode.

  • The Eon Next tariff is actually Eon NextDrive v4.  It gives you 7 hours of cheap rate, which is more than many of the others.

    That one has a few limitations that may not suit everyone...
    You only get the actual energy used to charge the car at the low rate, the rest of your house consumption is charged at the normal rate for your tariff.
    Also it can only work with a couple of specific EV chargers if you have solar panels.  

  • Tomato energy currently have the best rates I think. Around 5p for 6 hours off peak, plus 4 hours of "mid peak" a day and peak rates are competitive too.

    The rates are very low, possibly unsustainably low, and this is a rename and relaunch from 'Logicor' energy which popped up a few years ago with very low prices and partially working website with poor customer service and then went quiet until this relaunch with a new name but similar website and customer support issues it seems...
    I would suggest checking some of the Logicor posts and the more recent Tomato posts for more details before switching...
