New Model 3 LR owner, been on this site for a LONG time (back in the day it was almost exclusively TVR, Lotus and Porsche), never thought I would be an EV driver! Anyway now a total convert and don't think I'll ever go back to petrol/diesel for my daily driver.

The local authority public chargers in my area are still free of charge, however they get really busy and are not always working. So I've installed a charge point at home now. I'm currently on a standard tariff with Shell paying 33p per kwh. OVO have a deal at 10p and Octopus are 7.5p for EV and overnight charging.

Has anyone got any recommendations? What's the least hassle option?

Cheers,
Alan

I’m aware of the pro’s and con’s of both providers. It’s more of a question regarding the ease of switching and the actual ease of operation for either provider. OVO have a dreadful reputation and Octopus seem to be rolling this out on a trial/test basis. Interested in opinions from anyone who actually uses either company. Thanks.
