EDF EV Tariffs: Navigating EDF’s Electric Car Tariffs

Energy companies are one of the backbones to the UK’s transition to electric. From supplying electricity to charge your car to offering discounted tariffs to make home charging cheaper – these companies are leading the charge.

One of these core organisations is EDF Energy, a leading force in the UK’s energy market, providing innovative and reliable electricity and gas solutions to millions in the UK.

And while EDF Energy has always had plenty of tariff options, now, there’s something special just for EV owners.

Say hello to EDF’s electric car tariffs. Charge your electric car for a fraction of EDF’s standard tariff prices and easily make EV charging more affordable.

But which one is right for you?

Get the rundown on the EDF energy EV tariffs in 2024 in this article.

Does EDF have an EV tariff?

Good news – EDF doesn’t just have one EV tariff. In fact, EDF has three cost-saving EV tariffs that electric car drivers can take advantage of:

  1. GoElectric Overnight
  2. EDF EVolve
  3. Pod Point Charger Customer Tariff

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

In short, EDF’s GoElectric Overnight fixed tariff offers 9p per kilowatt-hour rates for 5 hours during EDF off peak electricity times.

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.
