E.ON Next has partnered with myenergi to give EV drivers with a compatible zappi charger access to the 8p per kWh off-peak rate on its Next Drive Smart tariff.
Through the E.ON Next app, Next Drive Smart gives households an 8p per kWh rate every night from midnight to 6am.
Customers simply plug the car in and set their charging preferences using the E.ON Next Home app, and it takes care of the rest.
In a new development, when grid capacity is available, the app can schedule additional charging during the day.
At these times, the same 8p per kWh rate applies across the whole home, not just the EV. For a typical driver covering 8,000 miles a year, this could mean savings of up to £435 compared to a standard variable tariff.
Both zappi 2.1 and zappi GLO chargers integrate with the Next Drive Smart tariff and are compatible with any make or model of electric vehicle.
Customers already on Next Drive Smart with a compatible charger can connect through the E.ON Next Home app to access the savings straight away. New customers can sign up online.
EV drivers looking to install a compatible charger can also do so through E.ON Next, which offers an end-to-end journey covering product, installation and flexible payment options, it said.
Steve Davies, director of strategy and commercial at E.ON Next, said:
“With Next Drive Smart, plugging in at home unlocks cheaper electricity for longer across the home. Our partnership with myenergi means customers with a compatible zappi charger and the E.ON Next app can automatically access off-peak rates at other times when grid capacity is available — with no monitoring, no manual scheduling and no extra effort.”
Ben Harris, head of energy and mobility at myenergi, said:
“We’re delighted to be working with E.ON Next. Our integration with the Next Drive Smart tariff means customers now have straightforward access to smarter, cheaper EV charging, without having to think about it.”
