Frequently asked questions

What is the EV Saver tariff?

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.

How much does the EV Saver tariff cost?

Our EV Saver tariff offers a lower rate of 8.250p 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. The tariff also includes variable costs which are linked to external industry costs that can go up or down each quarter during the term of your tariff. Find out more about the variable costs here.
