Save on every mile
When it comes to cost efficiency, we found that charging an electric vehicle could be the best option. When we compared a petrol car against a comparable EV model, we found it was £482 cheaper to charge the EV at home with our EV Saver tariff than filling up the petrol car***.
So, you can say goodbye to paying out at the petrol station or finding a public charge point and enjoy a more environmentally friendly way of fuelling your car.
To become an EV Saver you simply need to:
Be a ScottishPower customer
Our existing Direct Debit customers, and new customers that join on our Standard Variable tariff, can apply for our EV Saver tariff in their online account.
Have a smart meter
Our electric vehicle tariff depends on half-hourly data provided by single rate smart meters. If you don’t have one, book your smart meter installation today.
Be an EV driver
You should have a home EV charger for your electric car to take advantage of the cheaper overnight electricity rates. If you don’t have one, we can help.
The greener way to smart charge
Are you looking to charge day and night for a lower rate? EV Optimise allows you to smart charge at the greenest and cheapest times, with no time restrictions, for 10p per kWh****. Simply set when you need your car charged and how much charge you need in the ScottishPower App. We’ll take care of the rest.
EV Optimise can be added to any ScottishPower tariff free of charge (excluding EV Saver and Heat Saver tariffs).
