Let’s get into the nitty gritty of each EDF electric car tariff.

Good to know about EDF’s EV Charging Tariffs:

• 100% of electricity generated during EDF’s off peak hours are fossil-fuel-free and entirely renewable.
• Each EDF energy electric vehicle tariff has specific requirements (find eligibility for the tariffs on the EDF website)
• During peak hours, EDF standard tariff rates will apply.
• EDF’s off peak times differ depending on the tariff. These hours are usually when you charge their cars overnight.
• Each EDF tariff prices fluctuate depending on the chosen tariff.

Is an EDF EV Tariff worth it?

Overall, if you’re one of the thousands of households across the country with EDF, or if you own a Pod Point EV charger, then any of the EDF EV tariffs are a great option. Home EV charging is more affordable for thousands of EV drivers when compared to the average home charging prices. This is especially the case if you own a Pod Point charger as you can charge at the lowest price for any EDF tariff.

However, if you fixate on the financial side, you can find cheaper rates with other EV tariffs. For example, the Intelligent Octopus Go Tariff offers 7p per kWh rates, and similarly, the OVO Charge Anytime Tariff offers 7p per kWh rates, too.

Still, EDF’s electric vehicle tariffs offer competitive off-peak rates. With this in mind, if you are a pre-existing EDF customer, it may be more convenient to stay – by no means are the EDF tariff rates something to snub.
