Yes, if you renewed now (or your deal comes to an end) you'd probably be looking at 25p/kWh depending on where you live.

Current rates here: Octopus Energy

The current Octopus Go rates in my area are....

Unit rate (04:30 - 00:30):
23.41p/ kWh
Unit rate (00:30 - 04:30):
5.00p/ kWh
Standing Charge:

21.06p/ day

Prices include VAT.

Octopus Go is an electricity only smart tariff. For gas, simply choose any Octopus gas tariff.

Their standard variable for me as an ex Avro convertee is

Unit rate :
23.41p/ kWh

Standing Charge:
26.82p/ day

Prices include VAT.

Conclusion - is the trade off of the 4hr cheap rate worth the higher daily standing charge ?

You need to ask Octopus for there Go Faster tariff, you have to move to the Go tariff first and then switch ...cluncky but I got 15.18p kwh & 5.5p between 8.30pm-1.30am

Hi all,

Saw this, maybe of interest:

FleetNews: Electric vehicle drivers can charge for free thanks to new tariff.

Electric vehicle drivers can charge for free thanks to new tariff

A new tariff from Good Energy, in partnership with Zap-Map, will allow electric vehicle (EV) drivers to charge their plug-in car for free.

www.fleetnews.co.uk

From what I can see standing charge and unit prices are higher than the Go tarrif I'm on so not for me.

Just in case of use to anyone.

Octopus Agile is like this but requires an Ohme charger.
If they had a decent day rate I would switch, atm I am on Scottish Power 15p/kw

You don't need Ohme, it's just what they advertise. Their API is available to anyone to integrate. Sync EV is another charger that has Octopus Agile built in.
