That’s a result for you, and worth staying up for. They said to me that the price you select when you click to switch to go is the price you will get when it kicks in.I was due to be onboarded to Octopus today (Saturday) so I stayed up late and logged and they now have access to my smart meters and I was able to submit the switch to Go. They said it can take up to 14 days, but hopefully they locked in the price when I clicked the button.
I looked to move to EDF EV 35 tariff however the gas rate was high as it’s a duel tariff, completely offset the point of 4.5p. Unless that has changed now.With apologies to all you Octopus promoters but I have no intention of switching yet. Here are my fixed tariff rates until April 2024 (that’s right another 20 months!). Unfortunately this is no longer available, even to existing customers. Sorry about this but I’m feeling slightly smug!

I submitted my meter readings as soon as my Octopus account was activated on Thursday. Tonight, I could see that they had the meter serial numbers, and after midnight, I could change smart meter preferences and the link to switch to go worked.
Is that tariff still available?I looked to move to EDF EV 35 tariff however the gas rate was high as it’s a duel tariff, completely offset the point of 4.5p. Unless that has changed now.
Cheers, if the rates don’t change by Tuesday I think I’ll be having a late night!I submitted my meter readings as soon as my Octopus account was activated on Thursday.

I onboarded with Octopus to the variable tariff with an Economy 7 dumb meter. Anyone know if I can now switch to Octopus Go using manual readings? Even if they charge it all at 40p till the smart meter comes it makes sense price wise.On Octopus Go (current version) even without the 7.5p cheap rate the day rate at 40p will be less than the new capped Standard Rate starting in October.
This is why I switched to Octopus from EDF being a dual fuel customer. Still cheaper to be on the gas SVR than being forced to take the dual fuel component of the EDF EV tariff.I looked to move to EDF EV 35 tariff however the gas rate was high as it’s a duel tariff, completely offset the point of 4.5p.

If you are stuck on SVR then costwise it presumably doesn’t matter which provider you’re with… but being with Octopus would make switching between other EV/“green” tariffs instant once you have a suitable smart meter fitted and sending readings.I'm stuck on a SVR with a provider... I get my car on Friday...
I'm have a gen 1 smart meter that is "dumb" and has no sign of being upgraded...
Basically I really don't know what to do...
Should I try and move to octopus SVR or a fixed rate while waiting for octopus go or intelligent... And just stick it out..
We use about 300-400 kWh a month of electric now (before the car) so about 3800 kWh a year... I only really do like 5000 miles a year..
Gas is a different story 28000kwh and that's all usually Oct - Mar just 1500kwh is for hot water... However me and my wife believe we can reduce that down to 19000 kWh but just not constantly turning on the heating, which have done a lot in the past..
So I'm in a real pickle here as to what to do... Just stick and ride it out or something else..
Also this current shower in charge should do something but have consistently showed they never will do anything so we are all on our own.. many other countries have managed to help ease this massive burden... Guess they just like killing people..
Sorry for the political rant at the end... It just boils my blood, maybe that'll help keep me warm this winter..
Anyway anybody got any suggestions on what we could possibly do... I'd really like to get on a EV tariff but just switching makes things more expensive in the short term...
I have been thinking if I could get a decent ish fix on the electric with a cheap overnight charging rate at some point in the near future.... But be on the SVR for gas that might be best...If you are stuck on SVR then costwise it presumably doesn’t matter which provider you’re with… but being with Octopus would make switching between other EV/“green” tariffs instant once you have a suitable smart meter fitted and sending readings.
