Description

Octopus Energys electric vehicle charging plan changes could lead to higher costs for drivers. The popular Intelligent Go tariff will limit discounted charging to six hours a day, affecting over 260,000 drivers. This move, similar to Ovos price hike, may increase charging costs by up to four times for those needing longer charging periods. The changes could more than double the cost of a full charge for some electric cars, adding hundreds of pounds annually for frequent long-duration charging.
