Why choose our GoElectric EV tariffs
Your GoElectric EV tariff questions answered
Do I need to have a smart meter?
You don't need to have a smart meter to sign up to our single-rate GoElectric EV tariff. You do need to have a smart meter to sign up to one of our EV tariffs with off-peak rates: GoElectric 35 and GoElectric 98.
Your smart meter tells how much electricity you're using during peak and off-peak hours, which is how we work out what your bill should be.
How can I tell which meter I have?
Don't worry, we'll check which meter you have when you get a quote.
What happens if I don't have a compatible smart meter?
If you don't have a compatible smart meter that we can connect to, we'll sign you up to our GoElectric single-rate tariff. Once you have a smart meter you can switch to a GoElectric tariff with off-peak rates: GoElectric 35 and GoElectric 98.
How long will it take for me to get a smart meter installed?
It takes 2 to 4 weeks to get a smart meter once you've signed up to one of our GoElectric tariffs. Occasionally this may take a little longer, depending on where you live. Covid-19 is also having an impact on our smart meter installations.

GoElectric single-rate tariff costs from just 13.75p per kWh all day, depending on where you live.
GoElectric 35 comes with 5 hours off-peak charging every evening 12 am to 5 am GMT. It costs just 4.5p per kWh during off-peak hours and from 15.96p per kWh during peak hours, depending on where you live.

How much will it cost to fully charge my electric vehicle?
Charging costs depend on the type of electric car you have and the energy tariff you're on.
For example, it could cost you as little as £1.58 to fully charge your electric car during off-peak hours if:
- you're on our GoElectric 35 tariff with cheaper overnight electricity between 12am and 5am (GMT) daily
- you have a Nissan Leaf with a 40kW battery
- That's less than £5 to charge your EV overnight.
