Is there anyone kind enough to tell me whether they would stay with Octopus ‘Intelligent’ or move to Ovo please?
- I drive a Telsa Model 3 RWD (single motor)
- I intend to charge via a Type 2 cable because a home charging unit cost would be uneconomical to install
- I drive approximately 5,000 miles pa
- I am presently with Octopus Energy
- I use 4600 kWh of electricity and 10,000 kWh gas.
I have a dilemma. Octopus intelligent tariff allows me to charge at 7.5p per kWh (23.30 - 0530) but the daytime rate is 40.10p per kWh. It allows me to charge at a rate of 8 miles per hour which would give me 48 miles maximum. As I don’t travel 48 miles every day, there will come a time when I might only have to charge once a week.
Ovo is an option for me. From what I have read, Ovo is 33p per kWh (similar to Octopus) but the game changer is “Add Charge Anytime to your plan for free and drive from just 3p a mile1 when you smart charge your EV from your home charging point.
I presume by ‘home charging point’ they mean Type 2 charging cable.
