Cheaper charging for longer
We've been keeping an eye on the latest energy deals for EV owners, and this one caught our attention. E.ON Next has linked up with myenergi so households with a zappi charger can access the Next Drive Smart tariff through the E.ON Next app.
The tariff already offers 8p/kWh every night from midnight to 6am across the whole property. Now, when there's spare grid capacity, the app can schedule extra daytime charging at the same low rate — not just for the car, but for everything else too.
How much could you save?
E.ON Next says a typical driver doing 8,000 miles a year could save up to £435 compared with a standard variable tariff. The integration works with both zappi 2.1 and zappi GLO chargers and any electric car.
Steve Davies, director of strategy and commercial at E.ON Next, said: "With Next Drive Smart, plugging in at home unlocks cheaper electricity for longer across the home. Our partnership with myenergi means customers with a compatible zappi charger and the E.ON Next app can automatically access off-peak rates at other times when grid capacity is available - with no monitoring, no manual scheduling and no extra effort."
Ben Harris, head of energy and mobility at myenergi, said: "We're delighted to be working with E.ON Next. Our integration with the Next Drive Smart tariff means customers now have straightforward access to smarter, cheaper EV charging, without having to think about it."
Existing customers can connect their charger in the app right away. New customers can sign up at eonnext.com. If you're shopping around for better EV tariffs, have a look at our energy comparison tools to see what's available in your area.
