I have 13.5 kw (Small) hybrid

I'm struggling to find an ev tariff 

Most energy comparison web sites only support about 3 companies

Most energy companies don't let you access ev tarrifs unless you are either existing customer or you fill out 8 forms?

Anyone with a 15 KW hybrid recommend a tariff? 

Anyone recommend a comparison site for EV tarrifs?

Only a PHEV would need home charging & you could pick any of the EV tariffs that there are.
You would just need to cost out if it is cost effective to switch.

We have a PHEV I am with Octopus Go for the past 6 years

I didn't bother with an EV tariff and just stuck with economy 7.

What does the size of your EV battery have to do with this?

Have you seen the MSE list of EV tariffs?

I guess at a push it could impact the relative balance - of off peak EV rate vs any premium for the day rate to get it ?

In the same way E7 needs a threshold to make it worth while.

Especially if like some business folk I used to know who went PHEV - were doing many journeys on petrol.

Octopus Go works really well for us, we charge at 8.5p with a higher rate for the none cheap hours (early hours of the morning). 

Which tariff is right for you will depend on what your energy use is outside of the EV, for us it’s about 60% of our energy usage, which is why Octopus Go works out good for us.

A bit like Archerychick we've got an EV, not a PHEV.

Before getting an EV we were using about 1400kWh/yr of electricity*. Since getting an EV we're using more like 3000kWh/yr. The extra 1600kWh/yr, though, is only costing us 7p/kWh on Intellignt Octopus Go which is £112/yr. (If we didn't have a compatible wall box and were using a plug-in charger, which is what you might choose to do with a PHEV, we'd be on Go at 8.5p/kWh and it would cost £136/yr.) We're also spending another ~£120/yr on public charging via Electroverse when we take the EV on trips that exceed the battery range.

Meanwhile we're not burning ~700 litres of diesel a year, which would've cost almost £1000/yr.

* Oher than the EV we're relatively light users of electricity. We also have solar panels and a storage battery, which means that these days most of the 1400kWh of imported electricity is also at the 7p/kWh rate.

In addition to the EV tariffs list linked above So Energy have launched an EV tariff & Outfox the Market have one as well.

Even the suppliers' own quote pages won't necessarily make the comparison easy. EV tariffs aren't always listed on the main quote pages - look for EV tariffs in the menus, or go straight there using your preferred search engine -  but getting the rates once you're in the right place is straightforward and they're available to all.

Some suppliers don't bother trying to calculate a total annual cost and just show you unit rates and standing charge. EDF comes close by asking total usage and your annual mileage and assuming you've had the EV 12 months uses a kWh/mile factor to estimate annual cheap rate usage but it ignores house use on the cheap rate and the factor may not represent real life for your car & use.

The MSE guide recomnends a spreadsheet for a reason. You need your own data for day & cheap rate use.

The make of car and/or charger also affects available options with Octopus, Eon Next and EDF.
