EDF GoElectric EV Tariff Review 2026

EDF Energy's overnight EV tariff — 6.99p/kWh from 11pm–6am, the longest off-peak window on the UK market as of April 2026, with a 12-month price fix.

4.2 / 5
☆☆☆☆☆
★★★★★

Pros

  • Off-peak rate of 6.99p/kWh undercuts Intelligent Octopus Go's 8p/kWh on the headline number
  • 7-hour off-peak window (11pm–6am) is currently the longest on the UK market — useful for high-mileage households, overnight heating, and two-EV households
  • 12-month fixed price gives predictability that variable smart tariffs do not
  • Smart Charging bolt-on adds £5/month bill credit (£60/year) for opting in
  • Open to both new and existing EDF customers — no need to switch suppliers if already on EDF
  • Cheap rate applies to the whole home during the off-peak window

Cons

  • £75 exit fee versus Intelligent Octopus Go's no-exit-fee variable contract
  • Customer-service rankings sit below Octopus's in independent surveys
  • No first-party deep API integration with chargers (no equivalent of Octopus's Intelligent scheduling)
  • EDF's bundled Pod Point Plug & Power tariff is cheaper at 6.49p/kWh but locks you into 2-year hardware contract
  • SMETS2 smart meter is mandatory; install lead time is typically 2–4 weeks if not already in place
