FAQ topic

What is the cheapest time to charge an electric car at home?

The cheapest time to charge is overnight, typically between 11pm and 6am, when electricity demand is lowest. If you're on a dedicated EV tariff; such as EDF's GoElectric tariff you can pay as little as 6.99p per kWh during off-peak hours*, compared to around 24p at the standard rate.

Most home chargers and EVs let you set a charging schedule through an app, so your car charges automatically during the cheapest window without any manual input. Over a full lease term, the savings from overnight charging add up to hundreds of pounds.
