Just seen Octopus Go's new rate. 12 night 4 hours. Go Faster no longer appears to be listed.... Just Go and Go Green. Does anyone have a good alternative to Go? Intelligent Octopus got bumped to 10p for 6 hours but I drive Cupra Born so can't join it, yet. Looking for a better tariff for my son in law and my parents as they are about to get EV's.

Sorry I know this is not directly GivEnergy related.

EDF GoElectric has a couple options if you have an EV and a smart meter 5 hours at 4.5p or night and all weekend at approx half price.

shawry Hmm peak unit time of 51.87p ouch. But the Go 98 is interesting.

EDF stopped taking new subscribers to GoElectric at least two months ago.

@Zakalwe I didnt know, my friend joined them approx 6 weeks ago, so I just assumed it was still possible.

Apologies for misinformation

shawry not any more by the looks of it. "until further notice we're unable to offer a quote to any new customers wishing to join our GoElectric tariff."

I'm going to stick with Go when my December contract is up. You can of course leave without penalty any time, but the new year general price cap increase is probably going to make any current tariffs look ok.
The limitations of Intelligent Octopus are frustrating (wrong car, wrong charger etc)

pjb904 I spent the weekened looking, Intelligent works out the best if you can get it, Go is next. I am expecting the next version of go to hit 15p off peak, I am hoping the 5hr version has only been removed temporarily.

FYI if you can find an Ohme charger going cheap (either Pro or the GO/Portable one) you can join intelligent with any car.
They occasionally pop up on eBay and may tide you over until the Cupra is on the support list whereby you can then sell the Ohme...

Nice idea, but I still generate enough solar at the moment to put some in the car :-)
