Time of Use tariffs

The EV Saver tariff is a ScottishPower tariff designed for electric vehicle (EV) drivers. It provides cheaper rates for charging your EV at home during off-peak hours (between midnight and 5am*). If you use less than 33% of your electricity during off-peak hours, another one of our tariffs may be more suitable for you. You can compare these in your online account.

Our EV Saver tariff offers a lower rate of 7.2p per kWh for charging your electric vehicle between midnight and 5am**. The lower rate allows you to save money on each kWh consumed during this period. The price of energy we supply you is fixed, protecting you from any increase in wholesale energy costs.

Yes, our EV Saver tariff provides 100% green electricity**, enabling you to charge your EV using environmentally friendly energy.

Our electric vehicle energy tariff is designed for ScottishPower customers who own an electric car and have a home EV charger. To be eligible for it, you must have a single rate smart meter that sends half-hourly readings and pay by monthly Direct Debit. If you are not currently a ScottishPower customer, you can join us on our Standard Variable tariff. Once your account is set up, and you meet the eligibility criteria above, you can move to our EV Saver tariff through your online account.

Yes, the EV Saver tariff relies on data provided by smart meters. If you don’t already have one, you can book a smart meter installation.

If you’re moving home, you won’t be able to directly transfer this tariff to your new home. However, let us know when you are moving and we’ll look at what similar tariffs are available at the time.

The price you pay for your electricity will depend on your meter type and when you use it. For most customers, your price band will be as follows:

Night:   00:00 – 04:59

For customers with a SMETS1 meter made by L&G, Itron or Aclara, your night rate is set by Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), meaning in the summer months whilst the UK is on British Summer Time (BST), between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October, your night rate is different as outlined below:

Winter (GMT) Day:         05:00 – 23:59

Winter (GMT) Night:      00:00 – 04:59

Summer (BST) Day:        06:00 – 00:59

Summer (BST) Night:     01:00 – 05:59
