Best Electricity Plan for new EV Owners

Yeah. Went down that road 2 years ago and savings now on electricy and diesel make it very worth while for me.

Dont know if it is..Im in the middle of changing my supplier and banged my data into EnergyPal and Flogas did not come near the top. I am going with Bord Gais as they have the cheapest EV rate and I can shift my EV charging into this and the day rate is competative, night rate is a couple cent more than the best. If you have a smart meter put your data into EnergPal.ie

Here is my year consumption per half hour, as you can see I can shift all the EV charging into the 3 hour window that Bord Gais have and this will push them to the top for me.

They have the regular D/N tarriffs as well in their @graememk

Here are the top ones for my profile in D/N non smort!

ya bonkers/energy pal doesn't appeal to have that 12c/24c plan.

regarding this flogas plan, I had a look around and cannot find the answer. But is there something if you go above x units you get charged higher rates, cant recall the x value(s)

Hi,

Can I enter info manually into EnergyPal somehow? Can't see it on their site. I'm with Yuno and can only access pdfs of my bills.

On their site, in the 'how to get HDF file' is this a typo?

EnergyPal.ie supports following HDF file formats:

• ESB Networks
• Bordgais
• SSE Airtricity
• Energia
• Electric Ireland

I remember someone saying there's a downside to activating a smart meter & it seemed quite big. Anyone remind me please?

Thanks.

You'll need a day/night meter. Flogas will submit a request to esbn for your meter to be changed, they're one of the better companies and will actually do it for you.

I'm on an Energia 18c night rate 11pm-8am. We charge two EVS (night on, night off) during the night and it works out well.

So a full charge from 0-100% (which is never the case) would that be 50 kw ? I know it's a 50 KWH battery but was never sure how that broke down to an hours charging

Well it's not to do with how long you charge it's how much electricity you use. If it takes you 10 hrs to charge the 50kwh or it takes you 4 hours it's still the same amount of usage. So your figures are correct,you used 400kwh to charge the car.

It took about 2 days, yes I stopped before entering financial details.

Hello,

1. I have smart meter, solar panels and a zappi for the EV
2. I switched to Home Electric+ Night Boost EV plan (see image below)

Question: Does electric Ireland treat ALL appliances to be charged at 10.47c during that time or just the EV? The reason I ask is because my smart meter data as displayed on Electric Ireland's website doesn't show the EV.

Thanks,

K

You can get a standing charge of circa €100 less per annum, with Energia smart drive, and a much more flexible 4 hours (versus 2)per night rate of 7.54 inc vat, for more than 1000 kWh night boost units, in a bi monthly period, it increases slightly to 8.67 cent inc vat. Energia day rate is 33.86 inc vat, versus 36.15 with EI

in addition, Energia pay 24 cent for export, versus 21 with EI.

Factor all that in, and for most people with solar pv and ev, this will exceed, the €350 welcome credit from EI on this plan.

Hi there, trying to figure out what the best plan is for me using energy pal and as a not so tech savy person, is the below based on the half hourly file I uploaded and so telling me Bord Gais would seem to be cheapest based on my usage? Thanks in advance;

Yeah if you got that far then you shoudl be ok but as The Raisin said to get the most accurate estimation then you need a years worth of data. For me when I uploaded in actual fact it was the energia Smart plan was the cheapest but by only about €200 but I knew that I could without much effort shift all my EV usage into the 2- 5pm slot. Where as before I was starting to charge my EV at 11pm when the night rate came on. Have a look at some of the tabs the historical import analyis shows a nice heat graph of where your usage is at, you might have to do some more numbers yourself and take an educated guess as which would be the best for you.
