EDF is thrilled to launch Smart Charging, a brand-new bolt-on to its market leading EV tariffs. This new addition gives customers access to more off-peak electricity rates, by letting EDF automatically charge their car when electricity is cheapest and greenest.
Available to customers on GoElectric or the EVolve tracker tariff, Smart Charging provides customers with off-peak rates for both their home and car beyond the standard off-peak window (12am – 5am).
Britain’s cheapest fixed EV tariff, GoElectric, already offers annual savings of £489 compared to the standard variable tariff. With Smart Charging, customers can save up to an additional £239 per year, bringing the total potential savings to over £700 a year, making it even more rewarding to drive electric with EDF.
Setting up Smart Charging is quick and easy. By connecting their vehicle and setting up their charging preferences in MyAccount, drivers will receive a personalised daily charging schedule, letting them know when their off-peak hours will be, so they can plug in and enjoy cheaper electricity at home when they need it most. By simply plugging in and letting EDF automatically manage charging during cheaper and more efficient times, customers will also receive £5 off their bill each month, saving them both cash and carbon.
To register their interest, drivers need to visit the webpage, enter their car details to check eligibility, and EDF will contact them with setup instructions.
Additionally, EDF is offering a £25 bonus to the first 500 EV owners on an eligible EDF EV tariff who opt-in to Smart Charging.
Rich Hughes, Director of Retail at EDF said: “At EDF, we are proud to offer Britain’s cheapest fixed EV tariff with GoElectric, helping customers save £489 a year compared to the standard variable tariff. And now, with Smart Charging, they can save up to an extra £239 a year by letting us charge their car when demand and carbon intensity are low, and prices are cheap. That’s a potential total saving of over £700 a year – all while reducing their carbon footprint.
“We’re excited to modernise the way EV owners manage their charging needs, helping them maximize the benefits of their vehicle through automatic charging. And don’t worry, if your car or charger isn’t currently supported, we’ll contact you as soon as it is. It’s time to start charging smarter with EDF.”
EDF continues to lead the charge in supporting drivers go electric through its partnership with Drive Electric and Pod (formerly known as Pod Point), offering affordable electric car leasing deals, and fast, reliable home charging with the award-winning Pod Point Solo 3S charger. EDF also has a range of EV tariff options to suit different lifestyles, all offering five hours of off-peak charging between 12am – 5am, backed by zero carbon electricity[v].
Smart Charging customers will receive the £5 as bill credit each month, and eligible customers for the £25 introductory bonus will receive this credited to their energy bill within 30 days of successful registration.
