UK EV owners on E.ON Next can now charge overnight for 6.5p per kWh. The supplier announced the cut to its Next Drive Smart tariff, and electrive reported it on Nov. 2.
The two tariffs
Next Drive Smart: 6.5p/kWh from midnight to 6am, applied to the whole home's electricity, not just the car.
Next Drive Fixed: 8.5p/kWh overnight, with the price fixed.
What E.ON says you save
E.ON estimates annual savings of £476 on Next Drive Smart and £428 on Next Drive Fixed. Those figures depend on its own assumptions about mileage and usage. There are no exit fees.
For Tesla owners
At 6.5p/kWh, charging a Model Y's battery overnight costs only a few pounds. Check whether your charger and car are eligible for the smart tariff before you switch, and compare daytime rates too. Those apply to everything you use outside the off-peak window.
