Use your EV's timer or home charger to start charging at 23:00. This ensures 100% of charging is at the cheap night rate.
Most night rate tariffs require a smart meter. Contact your supplier to request installation if you don't have one yet.
Suppliers change rates frequently. Check every 6-12 months and switch if you can save €100+/year.
If you work from home, rooftop solar can provide free daytime charging and further reduce costs.
