If youāre on the variable now, youāre better off trying to get on Octopus go tariffs now to lock in the cheaper prices for when your car gets here, and before any price increase coming up. Current Go rates are cheaper than the coming price cap so moving right now makes complete sense.
As long as you have the correct smart meter installed, itās a very straight forward process which Octopus handle from start to end.
If you make the switch, use a friends referral code, or forum members if your friends are not with them. You will get Ā£50 credit.
If it helps, I did a Go vs price cap comparison based on todays rates at the link below.
We are lucky to still be on the Go Faster tariff, 14.5p on peak, 5p off peak until the end of January, it works great for us as we're out most of the day and try to do as much as possible in the 4 hour window from 20:30. Is the Go Faster tariff still available, will we likely get renewed onto it...
