Best Electricity Plan for new EV Owners

The Energia EV rate that I'm on is 1000kWh per month, not per 2 month period I'm pretty sure.

I was on the older EV plan with Energia until the end of May. Mine was the D/N meter version. And you're right, it was 1000kWh per month.

But the newer one on the smart meter seems to be half that.

Don't forget to include the standing charge when doing your comparisons. While one rate might look cheaper, it's standing charge could be a lot higher so you should factor that in too.

Coming off an Energia plan of

night 0.079 inc vat

Day 0.2744 inc vat

standing charge €296

Usage - 2078 day. 9127 night for the year-

On the phone to them today - best I got was 13% discount

Day 0.47 inc

night 0.2215 inc

standing charge €296

May be of use to some of you

Yep- Flo Gas slightly better rates but €100 more on the standing charge ..

The current FloGas deal is about 30% cheaper per unit than the Energia rates you were offered, so it is a lot better.

I moved from Energia to FloGas this month after they gave me a similar retention offer.

The difference in standing charge for me was only about 3 euro. Based on rural with D/N meter.

They have you every which way ((

will ring them though 👍🏻

Energia- Day 0.47 inc

night 0.2215 inc

standing charge €296

EI is just over €118 cheaper than that Energia quote, its €100 more on standing, but overall €118 better, based on your usage 9127/2078:

EI is 1.29 c lower on Night rate, and 4.7 lower on day rates.

That’s a great offer ! Thanks Mr Q, , I’ve trawled the fine print but can’t see if there is a cap on the amount of day/night units, can anyone advise before I pull the trigger ? 👌

Same here. I just got an email after signing up saying I will receive a welcome pack in the next 14 working days.

But they have definitely done something as I have several missed calls from Energia since I signed up to FloGas.

So are we saying that you may only get that auto response email below when you fill in application. they will then proceed with the switch and the next we will hear from them is the 1st bill?

Flogas have what i could only describe, as a “prehistoric” system, and a very poor online portal, so their system, has 2 speeds - slow, and stop.

Some additional patience required, as they are years behind the main providers, but at those very compeditive tarriffs, its certainly worth waiting for.

Fair play guys- jumped ship there-

These deals are well buried within the web sites and inaccessible to most-with the last energia ev deal, energia staff had to told about it ..anyway, hopefully Flogas come good 👍🏻
