Does OVO still have an EV plan?

Best of luck with that Ruth, I am an existing customer with OVO and owner of an EV, I don’t have the specified chargeing unit that OVO recommended therefore I can’t get OVO Drive, when I saw the answer to your post I thought great there is at last an EV tariff from OVO, but no when I checked and filled in the quote I find it is exactly the same tariff I am on at present with no reduction for EV chargeing.

At present I am cheaper going to my local authority charging point where the tariff is 8ppKw cheaper.

When will OVO join with other suppliers and offer EV drivers a genuine competitive tariff.

Just got a quote too @cmccullie 
Same as your result, the tariff I’m currently on so guessing OVO Drive has disappeared or just not worth it.
I like the look of OvoDrive + Anytime (if that still exists) but the cost of another new charger unit seems inhibitive.

OVO Drive by itself does not automatically include Drive + Anytime. To get the 10p/kWh Anytime Charging, you also need to activate the + Anytime Add-On in MyOVO and set things up from there. Once that’s done and Kaluza has connected successfully, you’ll start getting the cheaper rate. If your charger is not compatible but your EV is, Direct-to-Vehicle is also a possible option to get the same benefits.

In actual fact, the Anytime Add-On will soon be made available to everyone regardless of tariff. But you would still need to activate it - and keep it active - in order to get the cheap charging!

Thanks for the information, but search as I may I can’t find any reference to +anytime on the MyOVO site.

is it still available if you don’t have the recommended Ev charger.

As answer at top of forum from M.isterW it is buried somewhere so clearly not shouted about right now…..

and no, looks like I would need an expensive charger upgrade.

I’ve marked that as best answer.

For completeness, as well as Octopus's two EV tariffs, British Gas now also have one with a 12p/kWh off-peak rate for 5 hours.

Alternatively, Economy 7 could work out well for you with a greater number of cheap hours each night.

I believe all EV tariffs being offered are now classed as 'variable' in order to be eligible for EPG discounts. Therefore pricing may well change from April.

Hi, I’m wondering if anyone on here is from the south west of Scotland and on one of the EV Tariffs. I’ve been getting strung along by my current suppler (bulb) for the last 6 months and they say it’s not possible for the metres in my area to send the correct signal to get put onto their ev tariff. So it’s costing us a fortune to run the car on our single rate tariff. I’m just wondering if there’s any truth in this before I enquire about a switch to new supplier.

I have a smart meter 2

Hi @am84 

Could you please confirm what the smart meter checker is showing for your meter so we can see if it's connected to the DCC system.

If this is receiving your data there shouldnt be an issue with getting an EV or Economy 7 tariff loaded.
