EDF EVolve FAQs
Is EDF Evolve only available to EV drivers?
Yes. This plan is exclusively available to drivers of an electric vehicle, which they charge at home. View our full tariff eligibility criteria
Will I save money by switching to EDF Evolve versus Standard Variable single-rate?
Yes. The Evolve day rate is the same as the Standard Variable single rate, and the overnight rate is 10p (including VAT) cheaper. So provided you use electricity overnight (between midnight and 5am), you’ll be better off than being on our Standard Variable single-rate. The amount you save will depend on how much you consume in the overnight period. For example, if you charge 2000 kWh (equivalent to 7,000 miles of driving), you’ll save at least £200.
Do I need to have both fuels with you to access EDF Evolve?
No. EDF Evolve is electricity only. You just need an active EDF electricity account with a fully connected(5) smart meter.
If I don’t have a smart meter can I get EDF Evolve?
No. You must have a fully connected smart meter(5) and opt in to half-hourly meter readings. The smart meter tells us how much electricity you’re using during peak and off-peak hours, which is then used to work out your bill.
How can I tell which meter I have?
Don't worry, we'll check which meter you have when you get a quote and let you know your next steps.
What happens if I don't have a compatible smart meter?
If you don't have a compatible smart meter we can connect to, unfortunately you won’t be able to get EDF Evolve. We’ll do our best to install a smart meter in your area and communicate with it, however sometimes, for reasons beyond our control, we're unable to do this.
You can either stay on our Standard Variable plan or change your EDF tariff. If you choose to leave us, don’t worry - we won’t charge you an exit fee.
How long will it take for me to get a smart meter installed?
It takes two to four weeks to get a smart meter, once you've joined EDF. Occasionally this may take a little longer, depending on where you live.
