... my current supplier (geddit
) is charging me 32.04p per kWh and no-one is taking switchers at the moment to EV Tariffs.

Have you actually spoken to Octopus? I had heard that despite their message, a few people with EVs had switched?... my current supplier (geddit) is charging me 32.04p per kWh and no-one is taking switchers at the moment to EV Tariffs.
I know they are the 'de facto' cheapest but their green credentials are way down the list of suppliers and that means a lot to me. I didn't buy an EV to fuel it from 'dirty electrons'.Have you actually spoken to Octopus? I had heard that despite their message, a few people with EVs had switched?
On the Octopus Go sign up page, it says:I know they are the 'de facto' cheapest but their green credentials are way down the list of suppliers and that means a lot to me. I didn't buy an EV to fuel it from 'dirty electrons'.
With global energy prices at record highs, you're unlikely to be better off by switching at this time.
If you think that's incorrect and would like a personalised quote, please call and speak to one of our experts on 08081693274 with your current energy prices to hand. Our lines are open 9am - 5pm Monday to Thursday and 9am - 4pm on Friday.
Yep, just spoke to them, their advice, "do not switch at the moment" ...Have you actually spoken to Octopus? I had heard that despite their message, a few people with EVs had switched?
It's MG5 LRWhat car is your EV? If you look at the Miles/KW, then divided that into the £0.32, and that will give your your fuel cost per mile. Should still be reasonably competitive with ICE, AND you are not polluting the streets...![]()

32.04 per KWh for domestic electricity all day and night? Wow, God help us all when the cap changes. It will be soon cheaper to go to Starbucks than boiling the kettle.... my current supplier (geddit) is charging me 32.04p per kWh and no-one is taking switchers at the moment to EV Tariffs.
If you are out of contract and are being put on a high standard rate of 32p /kw with a new company that you have been dropped onto, what reasons did Octopus give you for not taking you on as a new customer ??.Yep, just spoke to them, their advice, "do not switch at the moment" ...
36p for standard rate, which I would have to go on whilst waiting for Smart meter to be fitted!That does sound more than the cap.
What rates did Octopus offer?
No, not out of contract, my supplier just put their prices up by 10p to 32p. I do want a green supplier, but 32p is taking the piss. Octopus quoted me 36p standard rate tariff until a SMART meter is fitted, which could be 4-8 weeks, then I could go on their Go Tariff, but as previously stated their green credentials aren't all that.If you are out of contract and are being put on a high standard rate of 32p /kw with a new company that you have been dropped onto, what reasons did Octopus give you for not taking you on as a new customer ??.
Their "Go" tariff was around 25p / kw day rate and about 5p / kw off peak, between midnight and five AM in the morning.
Yep, cap changing again in April (could be up, could be down, more likely up). Warnings of another 30% rise in 2022, on top of 250% since this time last year.32.04 per KWh for domestic electricity all day and night? Wow, God help us all when the cap changes.

Arhhhh ..... Thanks for clarify those points !.No, not out of contract, my supplier just put their prices up by 10p to 32p. I do want a green supplier, but 32p is taking the piss. Octopus quoted me 36p standard rate tariff until a SMART meter is fitted, which could be 4-8 weeks, then I could go on their Go Tariff, but as previously stated their green credentials aren't all that.
Yeah - Same here !.I have never been keen on smart meters. Not keen on anything that is connected to my house but broadcasting. Anyway when I went EV it was a basically no choice if you want low tariff.
HHaGet your current supplier to fit smart meters now and then you can swap once that process is underway.
My switch took place two days after my meters were changed
Ha, yes, still waiting for current supplier, Ecotricity by the way, one to avoid at all costs, to get back to me, emailed, no reply, called them, 1hr waiting on hold, no reply, message them on Facebook, no reply ... Not holding my breath.Get your current supplier to fit smart meters now and then you can swap once that process is underway.
