Electricity prices will be reduced from 1st April, which means that EV drivers will be able to charge their cars for less, according to Ohme, the UK’s largest dynamic smart charging company. The Standard Variable Tariff will drop to 24.5p/kWh on 1st April, marking the lowest price in two years.
This reduction will allow electric vehicle drivers to enjoy greater savings when charging at home. Ohme is also encouraging EV drivers to consider switching to a smart EV tariff to achieve even bigger savings on their charging costs.
“As more people are trying to lower their household bills, this reduction in the price of electricity will be welcome news for drivers of EVs,” said David Watson, Ohme CEO. “However, they could easily lower those bills further by finding out if their electricity supplier offers a special tariff for EV drivers. If not, then they should consider switching to an energy provider that does to enjoy even bigger savings of running an EV.”
Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers can connect with the grid in real time, automatically adjusting to optimize the cost of charging and accessing the smartest, greenest, and lowest cost energy tariffs.
Charging on the new Standard Variable Tariff in a typical EV for 6800 miles of driving (the UK annual average) would cost £417.00. On a smart EV tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go* however, the same mileage would cost just £127.50.
Ohme is the official charger provider for Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Polestar, and the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland. They have also been recognized with awards such as Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards.
