Uswitch 25 hours free electricity

Mine was calculated without VAT yesterday (£7.03) but has updated to include it now (£7.44). They didn't have my outfox tariff (they only listed duel fuel and I'm only with them for electricity) so they've used the SVR which is higher than I pay but if we charge the EV every time we'll hit the £25 cap early anyhow.

Yes, mine has also been increased and now looks like what I was expecting. Looks like they goofed up the initial calculation.

£1.24 for me from the first one.  With Agile rates being higher this week I’ve not used so much in today’s slot althiigh I did get several loads of laundry through and cooked a pot of soup - I reckon a fraction under 3kWh so somewhere about 75p I assume.  Money for nothing - I’m not complaining!

Last week's is still calculating for me.

My session is booked for tomorrow afternoon; will need to decide by then whether to go ahead and eg. charge the car at risk, or not

Last week I used the five hours from 7am till 12pm to charge my EV after using from 12am till 7am on Eon Next Drive so fully charged and will be paid around £3.95 according to Uswitch.
Wasn't that bothered if it would work or not but it did,though the confirmation of it wasn't until yesterday 4-5pm,so a bumper load of laundry will be using tomorrows five hour slot,would be doing things anyway so might as well get a little something for nothing,don't see a downside of this,am I missing something?.

Calculate the unit rate that they have used to credit the £3.95 and make sure it is equal to or greater than the actual unit rate from Eon Next Drive over the period you opted into the Power Hours scheme.

With my Economy 7 tariff they used the base single rate tariff which is less than the peak Economy 7 rate that was in place during the 5 hour Power Hours window I chose. So I lost money by force charging my storage battery!!!

I noticed that my app had an updated version, and the description did mention problems in calculating on the old version. So perhaps if you haven't yet got results worth checking whether your version of the app has an update

I opted in, but the car was adequately full so just washed some laundry and heated the HW tank.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I ended up choosing Saturday morning (the morning sessions are almost entirely peak rate on my E10) and doing a couple of washes and a dishwasher cycle. A bit of a risk if for some reason they decide that I'm ineligible or something in the end, but I can live with it.

But hopefully by next weekend I'll be able to see that the process worked for the first session last week and will feel more confident about turning up the heating and running the DHW as well as the washing etc!

Anyone have any idea when funds are going to move from 'pending' to available to withdraw?  I have a sneaky feeling that it's not going to be until the end of November ...
