New Utility Warehouse EV Tariff: Charge Your Electric Vehicle for Less
As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to grow in popularity, finding affordable and efficient ways to charge them is more important than ever. Utility Warehouse (UW), a provider known for its innovative and cost-effective energy solutions, has introduced a game-changing Electric Vehicle (EV) tariff. This new tariff, announced at the recent UW IGNITE conference, offers an off-peak charging window with rates as low as 7p per kWh for customers taking multiple services. Not only does this help EV owners save money, but it also promotes sustainable energy usage.
What is the Utility Warehouse EV Tariff?
The UW EV tariff is a special variable-rate energy plan designed for electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid owners. It offers a five-hour window of off-peak electricity rates between midnight and 5 AM GMT, allowing customers to charge their vehicles at a fraction of the usual cost. The tariff becomes more attractive when combined with other UW services, offering further discounted rates.
Off-Peak Rates Breakdown:
- 1 service: 8.5p per kWh (Midnight – 5 AM)
- 2 services: 8p per kWh (Midnight – 5 AM)
- 3+ services: 7p per kWh (Midnight – 5 AM)
This structure provides a simple and flexible solution for EV and plug-in hybrid drivers who can consistently charge their vehicles during the designated off-peak window.
Why Off-Peak Charging Matters for EV Owners
Charging a typical EV battery can consume up to seven times more electricity than a household’s daily usage. By taking advantage of the off-peak rates, UW customers can significantly lower their energy bills while maintaining the convenience of home charging.
The UW EV tariff allows customers to switch easily online, without exit fees, ensuring that they remain in control of their energy choices. If you no longer wish to be on the EV tariff, switching to another UW energy tariff is hassle-free.
