My car is set to charge from 1.30pm to 5pm via Octopus Intelligent Go. I normally do a force discharge of my home batteries between 4pm and 7pm. This means it will overlap by an hour. Can I export and the car charge at the same time?

My home battery cannot see the car charger and the car will not charge from the home battery.

Five ways EV drivers can keep charging costs low

The tariffs originally offered cheap overnight charging for customers with electric vehicles, allowing them to charge for less.

The motoring team at LeaseLoco.com say the change from the energy company is reflective of the current state of the industry, with Octopus Energy attributing it to ongoing volatility and changes in supply and demand. 

Now the experts are advising EV drivers that while off-peak charging is still the cheaper option, prices are becoming less predictable and drivers should stay flexible and take advantage of the best charging times to keep tariffs down. 

John Wilmot, CEO of car leasing company LeaseLoco said:

“The recent change brought in by Octopus Energy is reflective of what’s happening in the industry currently.

“It’s important to recognise that off-peak charging is still cheaper than peak times, but you can see where customers’ frustrations have come from.

“The reality is that prices are fluctuating as a result of the ongoing changes in the energy market and for EV drivers this means they should keep an eye on tariffs and charge at the cheapest times where possible.”

How to keep EV charging costs low:

Continue to charge at off-peak times

Despite fluctuating costs, it’s still cheaper to charge cars during off-peak hours. Even with recent tariff changes overnight charging rates are still lower than peak time. 

Avoid public chargers 

Where possible, try to avoid using public EV chargers as they’re generally a lot more expensive to use than home ones.

Charge efficiently

It’s generally advised to keep your car charged between 20% and 80% on a daily basis to prolong its life and performance. Avoid charging it to 100% unless you’re going on a long journey as this can increase battery temperatures and cause stress. 

Choose the right EV tariff

Many energy suppliers offer EV specific tariffs with cheap overnight charging rates. Regularly compare plans to help ensure you’re getting the best deal as prices change.

Make use of smart charging features

Smart charging allows you to plug in your EV and set your departure time. It will then automatically charge your car during the cheapest off-peak periods, without you having to check.

The Guardian | Octopus Energy boss: some people would accept occasional blackouts if bills cut by Jillian Ambrose

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Greg Jackson, the founder and chief executive of Octopus Energy, told an industry conference that while he is not advocating for power cuts, many consumers—especially in Spain where recent blackouts sparked debate—might accept an occasional blackout if it meant electricity costs could be reduced by about 25 % and price spikes avoided. He argued that the real challenge for a renewables‑heavy system is controlling the expense of grid and network upgrades, noting that cheap home‑battery storage now makes brief outages tolerable even for those who rely on medical equipment. Jackson warned that the UK risks over‑investing in costly grid infrastructure without sufficient transparency, whereas countries that have built flexibility into their energy mix, like Spain, are seeing dramatically lower prices and less exposure to spikes.
