Does OVO still have an EV plan?

I have just changed from a Hybrid to 100%EV with 98kWH battery. I have already got a home charger via the OVO scheme and am on a smart meter with the current Simpler Energy variable programme. 
Is their an EV friendly tariff still running that would be of benefit to me?

Thanks for your reply.

Your electricity meter's working in smart mode

Supplier: Bulb Energy Limited

This means your meter should automatically send readings to your supplier, so you don't need to send them yourself.

It’s working in smart mode because you have a second generation meter (SMETS2) that’s on the smart meter data network. The network connects your smart meter to energy suppliers.

this is my result .

If you have a dual fuel account then you may want to look at the +Anytime add-on with OVO as the Indra charger is compatible with that. I'm not sure if that is currently available, but I imagine if it's not at the moment it will be soon.

The combination isn't compatible with the Intelligent Octopus tariff yet, as far as I know. So your next best option with them is Go (four hours overnight currently at 12p/kWh)

 

Hi, just an update , that’s us finally on an Ev tariff (Anytime) and can now enjoy discounted charging. Ovo are still trying to connect to meters but as I have the Indra smart pro it can connect to that. So happy days. Should definitely make a difference to our bills every month, for now 😂🫣
