"New research from Easee, the leading EV charging technology company, has revealed that UK electric vehicle (EV) drivers are collectively missing out on potential savings of £168.2 million on their annual energy bills by not charging on smart tariffs. The study highlights that of the 1.615 million EVs currently on UK roads, around 28% of drivers continue to charge their vehicles during peak times - between 8am and 11am, or 4pm and 10pm - rather than shifting to off-peak hours supported by smart tariffs."
"Easee's analysis shows that if drivers switched to smart tariffs, they could each save between £265 and £372 per year, depending on their weekly charging needs. For an average weekly EV charging requirement of 28kWh, drivers could save around £265 annually, while those charging 40kWh per week could save £372. Collectively, this amounts to £168.2 million in lost savings across the UK."
1.615 million EVs are on UK roads and about 28% of drivers charge during peak times (8am–11am or 4pm–10pm) instead of off-peak hours. Switching to smart tariffs can save individual drivers £265–£372 annually depending on weekly charging: 28kWh per week yields about £265; 40kWh yields about £372. UK drivers collectively forgo £168.2 million each year. In Germany, 30% of 3.35 million+ EV drivers charge at peak with potential per-driver savings up to €180 and collective savings of €180.9 million. Luxembourg reports 89% peak charging and potential €400 annual savings for 48kWh. Easee chargers integrate with dynamic time-of-use tariffs such as Fuse Energy’s 5p/kWh off-peak rate, enabling charging 100 miles for as little as £1.2.
