Electric Vehicle (EV) Tariffs

As more and more of us look to make the change to electric vehicles there is an ever-increasing need for electricity tariffs designed to support the charging of electric vehicles, as having to charge your vehicle at home on a standard tariff could increase your bills to a point they become unaffordable.

Fortunately, there are now several providers who have introduced overnight/off-peak tariffs solely for EV drivers, offering an affordable alternative to on street/public charging.

Time of use tariffs

Another option for electric vehicle drivers are time of use tariffs, which work by offering cheaper rates at certain times of the day. By encouraging people to use energy when demand is at its lowest helps to manage demand on the grid.

We will publish details of these tariffs as they become more popular.

Please see below details of providers offering EV tariffs.

The information is correct as of 24 February 2021 and will be updated as we become aware of any changes.
