Read all about the scheme here. You can read an introduction to it here: https://company.ovo.com/85-of-public-want-to-buy-an-electric-car-by-2030-despite-delayed-fossil-fuel-car-ban/

Thanks for reply.

It states :

Anytime rate at the time you redeem your free miles up to a maximum redemption value of 14p/kWh. The 100 free miles a month or 2,400 free miles over 24 months  is calculated based on the assumption that the average electric vehicle will require 1 kWh of charge for a distance of 4 miles. 

So by my reckoning, that means you receive 25kWh credit per month which equates to £1.75 at 7p/kWh or £3.50 based on upto 14p/kWh.

is my interpretation correct?

@TheHollywoodStroller & @Firedog 

I had communication that the free 100 miles beyond add on had ceased about a month ago.

 Maybe they missed a few remaining links of this previous offer.

Tom…

Thanks TomThumb appreciated. 

It seems OVO's website is out of date then. All this is doing is forcing me to look at a more cost efficient provider. A hassle I could do without ‍♂️

Thabks again

THS

Actually, it might be accurate. Leave this with me - I’m checking.

Tom might be thinking of an old offer but I can double check to be sure

Confirmed - it’s active. The 100 miles thing Tom was thinking of relates to a previous version that was unrelated. That one is gone but the one being asked about in this thread is the current version.

You should be able to set it up via the app. The idea is you can bank 100 miles a month prior to setting up Charge Anytime and then get them credited to your account later. Do it now and you should at least score something from it.

Many thanks again.

So back to the point... is my assumption correct that it's worth about £1.75 a month and no more the £3.50

Thanks again. 

THS

Pretty much yes - but this would be on top of the discounted rates for EV Charging so in an (admittedly pretty complicated way) makes for a 100% discount off of standard rates.

Thanks for confirming. I can't help but feel that Octopus' offering is better due to the overnight tariff for all things electric though. 

Decisions Decisions decisions...!

Cheers

My Bad

Apologies for any confusion caused from my part.

I only got my Bev the middle of May, just as the offer changed.

From what I see now, my free100 mile beyond offer ceased in May, literally just after I signed up, as ovo revamped the criteria 

The new offer from beyond has just removed active charge anytime customers from receiving the free 100 miles a month & has in all essence past this offer over to customers who don’t drive with electric (albeit atm)

Tom…

Thanks. 

Yep, that’s right. I hadn’t noticed this offer in amongst all the other guff in the revamped app, but I looked last night and signed up, even though I have no current plans to get an EV. Who knows what might change in the next five years? 

I hope @TheHollywoodStroller  realizes that he has to save up for two years to get the full whack. Since he’s already made his decision, it looks as though he’s not really in the target population for this scheme.

I had been poking around in the updated ovo app.

I’ve joined the bank solar panels in the beyond free rewards, as no reason no to.

But I’ve also managed to enlist in the bank EV miles aswell.

The problem being I’m already signed up to charge anytime & enjoying 7p EV charge rate.

Thought nothing more until an email from ovo stated I’ve banked 100 free EV miles.

I’m guessing my account should have put a block on joining the bank EV miles, so that needs to be looked at.

Also what happens once the system wakes up & realises I can’t have both components activated at the same time???

Hi @TomThumb,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I’ll check this with the team and get back to you as soon as I have an update.

Hi @TomThumb,

The team have responded: 

“They’re correct, they shouldn’t have been allowed to opt in if they’re already on Charge Anytime. This is something that we've picked up this week as well and we’re working through a resolution for this.”

Will let you know as soon as I know more about what the resolution may be.

@Shads_OVO 

I'm a new customer with 2 EVs and have mistakenly signed up to the free miles offer when I should have gone for Charge Anytime. I've spent ages on chat with bots and agents, tried calling and got nowhere. How do I reverse this so I can add Charge Anytime?

Hi @Despearce ,

What EV’s and Charger do you have? If you can tell us more, we can offer advice that might unblock this and get you on the road. This doesn’t sound like something that should be blocking you, so I’m wondering if you’ve not done something yet?

If you can tell me what you’ve got, I can advise you on what to do next.

Alternatively, try 0330 175 9678 and the Charge Anytime team will be able to assist you.

 Cheers @Shads_OVO for the update.

 I’ve got nearly £40 of CA credit banked so far this billing cycle Vs 100 banked EV miles, so my billing next week will be fun to watch

Tom…

@Blastoise186 

Tesla Model 3 (2021) and Renault Zoe (2021) and the charger is Ohme home pro.

It was my mistake signing up to the free EV miles before reading it fully, then realising I couldn't sign up to Charge Anytime.

More hassle than it should be to just cancel one offer and start another though.

Gotcha! Please set up Charge Anytime via the Ohme app. :)

Any trouble, let the team know. 

I'll have to contact Ohme as it won't pair with the Tesla or show Charge Anytime as a tariff

Hey @Despearce 

Sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve been having getting set up with Charge Anytime.

Have you managed to get that sorted over the weekend? Let us know how you’re getting on, and if you’re still having trouble we’ll see what we can do to help.

I'm all sorted now, thanks for the help

Is this benefit only to household with a wall charger and obvs account with OVO. Can households in flats use this benefit when out and about on the public charging network? After my car conks out I’m thinking of switching to BEV. 

Hi @Iggy Pop ,

Sorry! This one only works with home charging.

However, OVO Beyond members do get a discount with OVO Charge Anywhere - check the main OVO app! There’s more info about Charge Anywhere at https://www.joinbonnet.com/ as this might be better suited to you.
