Don’t forget to factor in the daily standing charge.

my Intelligent Octopus tariff is now 10p 11.30pm - 05.30am and 27p outside that.
I can't get IO at the moment, the MG isn't supported by Octopus, and my charge point is a 5 year old Charge master unit that came with my Zoe - needless to say that isn't supported either!
At over a grand, I doubt it's worth getting a supported charge point

I agree. Octopus Go is still a good alternative tariff.I can't get IO at the moment, the MG isn't supported by Octopus, and my charge point is a 5 year old Charge master unit that came with my Zoe - needless to say that isn't supported either!

Agree , and I can’t see MG being on that list anytime soon, well at least until the Cyberster hits the UK.I can't get IO at the moment, the MG isn't supported by Octopus, and my charge point is a 5 year old Charge master unit that came with my Zoe - needless to say that isn't supported either!

Can't see any mention of the change on the site or on twitter etc.
Not doubting you at all but would have thought it was getting spoken about

Maybe it's just the regional variation. I'm in region H and on the tariff page where you put in your postcode but don't ask for a quote the only Intelligent tariff is
Good news if the tariffs are falling though!

Apologies to everyone for misleading you! I was looking at my gas tariff! Derrrr. My IO is still 10p and 39p

Perhaps you ought to end your fix and get the current IO tariff.

For gas? I have the I O electric tariff. Or am I being dumb again?

Depends on which region you are in, mine is 7.5p, other regions are different prices - you can check them on the Octopus web site.

I thought it was only peak rate that varied across the country.

Hello all,
I wanted to come back to everyone on this thread and share an update with you and some recent tariff news that might be of interest. EON, has just launched a new EV tariff which seems very competitive.
Their new tariff (EON Next Drive) offers an overnight electricity rate of 9.5p per kWh from 12 midnight to 7am, a full seven hours. This is in comparison to Octopus Go's similar 9.5p rate but over a shorter four-hour window. The daytime rate is 32.37p per kWh with EON.
EON also assures that their electricity is 100% renewable, which is great for those of us concerned about our environmental footprint.
If you're considering new energy suppliers or exploring options to cost-effectively charge your MG EV, you might want to give this a look.
I've just changed to them today, as the MyEnergi installation (libbi and zappi) has just been completed a few months behind schedule due to the delayed launch of the libbi. (I'll share another post on this later).
Hope this information is helpful!

Not what you are asking about (i.e. home charging) but I noticed that MFG Rapid Charging is discounted from this month if charging after midnight. There are 2 x 6 charger banks of MFG a few minutes from me so if I charge later (or really early morning) it would save me a lot. Thought I would share in case it's relevant to others.

Interesting, thanks. My quote was a bit higher - perhaps because I am in London. 34.08 peak and the standing charge is 38.18. I have a few weeks left on Octopus Go at 7.5 and will take another look then.
