E.On Next has repriced its Next Drive Smart tariff to ensure EV drivers charging at home overnight can now pay less than any other major supplier’s tariff.

The off-peak rate has been reduced to 6.9p/kWh between 12am and 6am, saving drivers up to £462 a year compared to charging on the energy price cap.

E.On Next has also reduced its Next Drive Fixed tariff, cutting the off-peak rate to 8.5p/kWh.

Gráinne Regan, propositions director at E.On Next, said: “As more households switch to electric, we want charging at home to be simple, affordable and something drivers don’t have to think twice about.

“Next Drive Smart makes charging an EV one of the cheapest habits a household can have. We want every driver to see real savings from day one and to make the switch to electric feel like the smart, easy choice it should be.”

Next Drive Smart V7.1 features two rates:

• Off-peak (12am – 6am): 6.9p/kWh
• Day rate (6am – 12am): 31.1p/kWh

In addition, customers charging off-peak on Next Drive Fixed can save £423 per year compared to charging on the energy price cap.

Next Drive Fixed V29 features two rates:

• Off-peak (12am – 6am): 8.5p/kWh
• Day rate (6am – 12am): 31.255p/kWh

Customers who choose to sign up to Next Drive Smart or Next Drive Fixed will also experience additional benefits. With no exit fees on the tariff, customers have flexibility if their circumstances change.

Customers can get a free one-year subscription to Zoom EV, an online platform that gives benefits and discounts on things such as public charging, parking and car hire.

The tariff also includes a one-off donation to the Woodland Trust which will contribute towards restoring the UK’s ancient woodland.
