Is it time to change to Octopus go

[Muffin]

Eon at the moment
octopus go is 10p higher per kwh than Eon
but standing charge is 2 p kw cheaper than Eon
is it best for me to switch now

I’m only going to use a granny at home over night as I only now do about 50 miles a day so I think Octopus could be my best bet

If you are using the granny EVSE will four hours of Octopus Go be enough time to charge up the car?

Good point that's only about 24miles ?

Probably not doing about 30% a day on average so don’t think I would Octopus go would be enough . So it’s trying to way up if it’s still better to switch

Both octopus and OVO offer ohme charges at discount and other charges I only mention ohme as compatible with both companies for cheap charging in fact I think it's the only one that works for both and with no exit fees quite handy

I was hoping that I could go on to Octopus go but you need to have a outside charger which with the 30 miles a day I do it would not be worth my while

You don't need an outside EVSE just an EV and a granny unit. Have you phoned Octopus?

Will give them a buzz thank for the info

We are now with Octopus. Had nothing but trouble with EOn and had to get the Ombudsman involve and had to threaten them a second time after miss-calculation of bills and faulty meters and non working smart meters. Had 4 of the things

I have solar panels and batteries. Switched to Octopus outgoing agile. This summer I'm hopeful for nigh on free charging.

Remind me what the cost of batteries, panels and charger totalled?





I know what you mean, just teasing...

I’m currently using a granny and getting 50 miles over the four Octopus Go hours each night.

Can't see it the granny is about 2.5kwh X 4h is only 10kw @ 3kwm is 30miles
Edit the granny is 10amp = 2.3kw so it's even less

As you say it’s all about miles per Kw and I do much better than what you suggest. Which means I get 50 miles added to the range each night
