MoneySaving Expert EV Tariffs Wrong?

I've just been browsing the following page:

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/ev-energy-tariffs/

My concern is that it does not appear to actually reflect the correct pricing or am I missing something? The Intelligent Octopus Go tariff is completely different to what I pay. The table quotes the cheap rate as 8p whereas I pay 5.2p. Similarly, the standard rate is quoted as 33.50p whereas I pay 26.36p. These are the new rates from 1 April. This is a significant difference and makes me question all of the prices shown. I have seen this before with Octopus Go pricing being wrong. Is there a regional variation?

You (and I) are on a legacy version of the IOG tariff. Anyone joining today will be paying 8p and 33p.

See https://octopus.energy/tariffs for details of the current tariffs available to new joiners. Or here where I posted details earlier today.

Thanks for the post. I knew I was missing something. 😂

Just when I thought that my deal was great, I just got an email from Octopus stating that prices will increase from May 1st due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East. Now I've got to decide on fixing with their current offer which is more expensive than the May 1st pricing or keep fingers crossed that the government sort out electricity pricing.

I'm wondering the same.

The jump from 5.2p to 8p seemed quite large; from 6.9p it seems less of a hike!
