When is the best time to charge your EV?

26/06/2023

The cheapest time to charge an electric car is usually overnight when electricity rates are lower. Some energy providers now offer EV-focused tariffs that can cut costs even further. These are usually dual-rate, where electricity is cheapest overnight when your EV is charging, or single-rate – i.e., the same rate is paid throughout the day, but discounted if you own an EV.
