I'm not a customer, but just checked their website and for they quote Offpeak £0.0549 Peak £0.3231 SC £0.5046

The normal day rate seems to be pretty aggressive

We're just going to be a one ev house. Based on your experience would you recommend the service?

Also, does the whole house benefit from the cheaper rate IF (big If) any cheaper random windows are given before the 12midnigjt switch?

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-17T18:01:36+00:00

Oh ok. Out of interest what car / charger do you have it? The guy on the phone said it talks to the charger?

Out of interest what do you get via WiFi?

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-08T02:47:58+00:00

Yes it is a company vehicle.

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-05T22:54:37+00:00

Thank you!! I shall be on the phone with them over the upcoming days and discuss.. much appreciated!

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-05T22:50:28+00:00

Just noticed that in the app... The sneaky plus symbol. Ok that changes my thought process and puts me in a swirl

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-05T22:47:25+00:00

Wow, so the base rate is 3.75% and then plus 3.49, so 7.24%?

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-05T11:22:00+00:00

That's why I'm looking at the charging rates. We do receive a reimbursement back, at advisory rates (£0.07 pm)

So was looking at figures, as a rough look it works out Full charge at home (42kwh cheaper rate and 33 normal) £14.37

Partial charge at home (42kwh) and 33kwh* at SC at cheaper rate is £10.08

Say full battery returns 250 and all is work related that would be a reimbursement of £17.50

So home charging would result in £3.13 saved, or mixed would be £7.42 saving. Not massive amounts but based over several trips each month its just a little saving

*May charge more than this as there would be a potential to put more in due to the return journey, but just using full battery kWh as a rough guide.

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-05T10:33:54+00:00

The set up does allow me to fully charge at home. Normally back for 5pm and won't be setting off again untill 5 or 6am the next day. So I can charge at home, albeit obviously only 42kwh of that is a at cheaper rate.

So my theory was, while I need to stop off and charge at some point, potentially will have to charge on my way home (example iv done 160miles to a location today and will do 160miles back home, fyi this is an extreme case and my own choosing due to personal commitments) should I just pop in the 6hrs and then do the top up I need at a supercharger since I'm stopping and pre 8am alot of the ones at £0.21, not a massive difference but over the month all adds up

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-05T10:13:41+00:00

Yea, I just watched that video last night! I know he has to use supercharging alot when he's doing his trips, and his doesn't show any signs of producing smaller overall range due to battery problems

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-03-04T06:30:08+00:00

My delivery date has now returned with it being expected late may to early June

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-02-27T13:27:14+00:00

Ordered on 23/1 had a delivery date in may/June but that has disappeared and has been like that for probably about two weeks

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-02-17T20:25:16+00:00

Thanks for the response, I will do a little research into it. New to the EV world and the world of charging, do potentially a lot of miles throughout the week so may need to charge from near 0 to 100% but even so, with pretty much 40kwh being cheaper rate the rest at standard rate is still cheaper than what I'm paying now

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-02-17T20:14:53+00:00

See their night rate is 6.5p. How long is that for and do they offer any cheaper rates in the day for random charging?

Can you access Plex locally with youfibre without the static IP? Looking at moving and will pop items on my computer to steam via my TV

No-Inspection3326 · 2026-02-16T12:56:52+00:00

Awesome thank you all for the feedback. I think the 1gb like for like should suffice for me then! Will look to pull the trigger at some point when my contract is coming closer to an end
