I've just signed up to transfer to Octopus from OutfoxTheMarket. No need for anyone to DM a referral! - I used the Scottish EV Driver's Club (Facebook Group) code - they are pooling referrals for group activities/material so I felt it was donating to a good cause.
I ran some numbers and was surprised how easily Octopus Go should beat my current flat rate electricity tariff. EV charging is about 33% of my overall household usage and over a period of 4 years I'd never found an E7 tariff (for North Scotland) that was worthwhile due to the penalty of higher day rates. But with Go their day rate isn't too much higher than what I'm on (14.46p vs 13.44p/kWh & 25p vs 21p standing charge) and even if I do significantly less mileage in the future I should still end up ahead (I'm confident I'll be able to do virtually all car charging off peak).
I like the idea of being incentivised to use off peak "greener" energy but had been put off by the smart meter installation fiasco, so finally thought it was worth trying to get involved although I wish I'd read this thread before switching, some helpful anecdotes are included (I've probably read about 2/3 of the posts)!
So we'll see how it goes but I'd be interested to hear if folk in "North" England / Scotland have had much success getting a SMETS2 meter installed recently, and also are Octopus likely to offer compensation for being on a more expensive tariff while I'm waiting for a meter so I can switch to Go? I'm electricity only if it helps - not on the gas network.
