Who is best now?

For anyone wanting to compare the annual costs of the tariff they are currently on to a different offering to see whether it's worth switching, please see the attached spreadsheet. It can be difficult to decide as standing charges vary and rates vary by area and of course your own usage, but this should provide you with a tailored to your usage guide.
It's nothing fancy just a simple comparison. Enter you current supplier details and those of another tariff. That is the daily standing charge, peak rate, and off peak rate in the green coloured boxes.
You will of course need to enter your annual usage both peak and off-peak. through messing about you don't have to be bang on if you don't have the number to hand but a good ball park will provide you a good idea of the total annual cost of the two tariffs.
Only enter details into the green boxes, do not enter anything into the white boxes.
Click on the link below to download the spreadsheet and then open it to use.
(Feel free to scan it for bugs if you feel the need :) )

Depending on your setup, because you are downloading this from the internet a box may pop when you open it warning that that you need to click it to enable editing, do so.

That's a good comparison list but remember they are all average prices, so you will need to get a quote for your area for the exact price/cost.

Which is what it says in the description;

"While it might not be an entirely accurate figure, it gives us a base for comparison – but be aware these tariffs are complicated to compare, so this as a list of who to try, rather than which one is best."

It is but who reads descriptions !!! Skip straight to the table. :)
 
Hi,

Now that Tomato Energy has gone splat, who is offering the best tariff for EV charging?

I don't have solar or battery (and won't for the foreseeable future as probably moving in a few months).

But I am soon to have 2 EVs to charge, so interested in long hours and best rate compromise.

Currently I am on Intelligent Octopus Go - but I don't use the Intelligent part, I just use the cheap rate core hours.

All suggestions welcome, thank you.
I'm on Next Drive Fixed v9. According to eon it is the only tariff available for my Podpoint Solo 3 charger. Paying 70p a day standing charge is a lot, a s I'm wondering if there are there better deals around.
Octopus isn't compatible with my charger and they don't support my MG4.

Lordy, I'm on the same tariff and paying 60p per day standing charge (
I'm paying 70p! 😮
