With electricity prices reducing from 1st July, EV drivers will already be able to enjoy lower charging costs, but they could make even greater savings when charging at home with a smart EV tariff with Ohme.
As the Standard Variable Tariff drops to 22.4p/kWh on 1st July, the lowest price in almost two years, drivers of electric vehicles will be able to enjoy greater savings when charging at home. However, a smart EV tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go could reduce a typical EV driver’s annual costs to £9.92 a month.
Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers can connect with the grid in real time, automatically adjusting to optimise the cost of charging and accessing all the times of the smartest, greenest and lowest cost energy tariffs.
Charging on the new Standard Variable Tariff in a typical EV for 6,800 miles of driving (the UK annual average) would cost £382.50. On a smart EV tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go however, the same mileage would cost just £119. The same distance in a petrol car would cost more than £1,100.
Ohme is the official charger provider for Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK, as well as Mercedes-Benz, Polestar and the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland and customers on the Motability scheme, the largest fleet operator in the UK.
