A tariff for electric vehicle drivers
Sleep soundly knowing you're charging your electric vehicle for less at home overnight with 100% green electricity*. This tariff is available for ScottishPower customers through their online account.
Charge your EV at a lower rate of 8.250p per kWh between midnight and 5am **.
Supercharge your sustainability with electricity that's kinder to the planet.
With access to handy energy use graphs in the ScottishPower App.
If you’re not a ScottishPower energy customer but would like to take advantage of our electric vehicle energy tariff, then don’t worry. Simply join us on our Standard Variable tariff and once your account is set up you can move to our EV Saver tariff through your online account. This tariff is designed for those that have an electric car, a home EV charger with a single rate smart meter (sending half hourly readings).
When it comes to cost efficiency, we found that charging an electric vehicle could be the best option. When we compared a petrol car against a comparable EV model, we found it was £542 cheaper to charge the EV at home with our EV Saver tariff than filling up the petrol car***.
So, you can say goodbye to paying out at the petrol station or finding a public charge point and enjoy a more environmentally friendly way of fuelling your car.
Our existing Direct Debit customers, and new customers that join on our Standard Variable tariff, can apply for our EV Saver tariff in their online account.
Our electric vehicle tariff depends on half-hourly data provided by single rate smart meters. If you don’t have one, book your smart meter installation today.
You should have a home EV charger for your electric car to take advantage of the cheaper overnight electricity rates. If you don’t have one, we can help.
* ScottishPower will match 100% of your electricity consumption to renewable energy generated by the ScottishPower Group by matching every MWh of electricity consumed on this tariff with a Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificate sourced directly from the ScottishPower Group’s own renewables generation.

VAT) for 5 hours, the average peak rate (inc. VAT) for 3.5 hours and the average Standing Charge (inc. VAT) paying by Direct Debit (as at 31st October 2023) and a distance of 6,000 miles per year.
