Every evening, thousands of electric vehicle owners arrive home, plug in their car, and head indoors without giving a second thought as to when it starts charging. By the time they wake up the following morning, their battery is full and ready to go - but many have unknowingly paid far more than they needed to.
EDF GoElectric has been created with exactly this in mind. Designed specifically for EV drivers, the tariff offers lower overnight electricity prices for home charging, giving you the opportunity to shift your charging to cheaper hours. By plugging in overnight and making the most of GoElectric’s off-peak window, you can wake up to a charged electric car and simultaneously keep the cost of every mile down.
While almost any EV charger can take advantage of the standard GoElectric off-peak tariff for cheaper overnight electricity, the best smart chargers can help you get even more from your home charging setup. Features such as intelligent scheduling, smartphone app control, dynamic load balancing and renewable energy integration can make charging smarter, simpler and more efficient, while helping to future-proof your home as EV technology evolves.
In this guide, Eco Wizard explains how EDF GoElectric works. We'll explore what makes the tariff an attractive choice for electric vehicle owners like you, and compare four of the best GoElectric-compatible EV chargers available today, helping you choose the right EV charging unit for your property, your vehicle, and your everyday charging routine.
EDF GoElectric is a dedicated time-of-use electricity tariff that makes charging an electric vehicle at home more affordable. Compatible with any EV and charger, regardless of the make or model, it provides drivers with the flexibility to benefit from cheaper overnight charging without being tied to specific hardware. At the time of writing, it provides 7 hours of off-peak electricity every night, with a current rate of 6.99p/kWh between 11pm and 6am, giving you a predictable window in which to charge your vehicle for less.
It's structured as a one-year fixed-price tariff, meaning the unit rates are fixed for the duration of the agreement rather than changing with movements in standard variable tariffs. You'll also need a smart meter to sign up, as this allows EDF to distinguish between electricity consumed during the 11pm-6am off-peak window and usage at other times of the day. Customers can make use of EDF's Energy Hub to track electricity consumption, spending and savings, providing greater visibility over how much energy you are using and when.
For eligible customers with a compatible tariff and smart meter, as well as a compatible electric vehicle or home EV charger, EDF also offers Smart Charging as an optional app-based add-on. Once a compatible vehicle or charger is connected and a preferred departure time is set, Smart Charging automatically manages when the vehicle charges, helping to optimise charging around lower-cost and lower-carbon periods, while ensuring the car is ready to hit the road when needed.
EDF GoElectric - when paired with Smart Charging - combines competitive overnight electricity prices with intelligent charging technology. This ultimately provides homeowners with a more convenient charging experience than some traditional tariffs, while supporting more efficient use of the electricity grid.
Remember, choosing the right EV charger model for you and your needs will depend on more than tariff compatibility alone. Charging speeds, smart features, installation requirements, aesthetics and cable options can all influence which charger is best for your home.

The Myenergi Zappi is fully compatible with the EDF GoElectric tariff. Its built-in scheduling allows charging to be programmed during GoElectric’s lower-cost overnight period, helping drivers benefit from the tariff’s off-peak electricity rate. If you are not using EDF Smart Charging, set the Zappi’s scheduled boost to run from 11pm to 6am to match GoElectric’s off-peak window.
Eligible GoElectric customers can add EDF Smart Charging, allowing EDF to control when the Zappi charges according to their chosen charging preferences. Charging can then be shifted to lower-cost and lower-carbon periods, including times outside the standard overnight window. Any schedules set in the Zappi, vehicle or another charging app should be disabled to avoid conflicts.
Beyond scheduled and smart charging, the Zappi can also make use of surplus electricity generated by solar panels or a domestic wind turbine when the necessary monitoring equipment is correctly installed and configured. By responding to household demand and renewable generation, it can direct more self-generated electricity into the vehicle, making it a strong choice for homes with solar panels, battery storage or plans to install these technologies.
For EDF GoElectric customers who prefer to plan charging around their routine, the Ohme Home Pro provides flexible scheduling through the Ohme app. You can create a schedule for GoElectric’s off-peak hours, set how much charge you want to add and specify when your vehicle needs to be ready.
The Home Pro’s defining feature is its integrated LCD screen, which displays charging status and live session information directly on the unit. More detailed settings and energy-usage information are available through the app, giving you a choice between quick updates at the charger and more comprehensive control from your phone.
A permanently attached Type 2 cable makes plugging in straightforward, while built-in mobile connectivity supports the charger’s smart functions without relying on household Wi-Fi. This combination makes the Home Pro a strong all-round option for drivers who want intelligent charging without making everyday use unnecessarily complicated.
The Ohme ePod brings Ohme’s tariff scheduling to a smaller and simpler unit. GoElectric customers can manage off-peak charging through the Ohme app, with the same ability to set charging targets and ready-by times offered by the larger Home Pro.
What distinguishes the ePod is its compact, socketed format. It has no built-in display or permanently attached lead, resulting in a less visually prominent installation and allowing the charging cable to be removed when the unit is not in use.
The ePod is therefore well-suited to drivers who want Ohme’s smart-charging platform but do not need an on-unit screen or tethered cable. Its combination of compact dimensions, app-based control and competitive pricing makes it one of the strongest value choices in this selection.

The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro offers a closer connection with EDF than conventional tariff scheduling alone. Eligible GoElectric customers can link a compatible Hypervolt charger to EDF Smart Charging, allowing EDF to plan eligible sessions around their charging preferences and provide off-peak pricing beyond the tariff’s standard overnight period.
Customers who do not add Smart Charging can instead create their own GoElectric schedule through the Hypervolt app. If EDF Smart Charging is activated, any schedules in the charger, vehicle or another app should be switched off so that EDF can control the session without conflicts.
Outside its EDF integration, the Home 3 Pro offers particularly strong energy-management capabilities. Boost, Eco and Super-Eco modes allow customers to prioritise charging speed, combine self-generated electricity with grid power or charge only from available surplus generation. Dynamic load balancing helps manage demand across the property, while battery-aware settings can help prevent an attached home battery from being drained unintentionally.
Its technical capabilities are matched by a polished exterior design. The charger is available in Ultra White, Ultra Black and Space Grey, with adjustable lighting showing its operating status.
The Andersen A3 EV Charger is compatible with the EDF GoElectric tariff. Using the Andersen app, customers can schedule charging to match GoElectric’s lower-cost overnight window, helping reduce the cost of charging at home. The vehicle should be plugged in and ready to charge before the scheduled period begins, with any conflicting schedule in the vehicle disabled.
Alongside its tariff-friendly scheduling, the A3 has a highly desirable customisable design to perfectly complement the exterior of your home. The unit itself is available in an array of standard colours, premium wood finishes and special-edition finishes to suit both contemporary and traditional properties, and almost everything in between.
For homes with solar panels, the A3 can direct surplus solar electricity into the vehicle when a compatible Andersen CT clamp is installed and configured. Customers can combine daytime surplus-solar charging with scheduled overnight grid charging, helping them make use of both self-generated electricity and GoElectric’s off-peak rate.

At the time of writing (August 2026), the EV chargers featured in this article can be used with the EDF GoElectric tariff. Tariff terms, rates, charging features and compatibility requirements may change over time. Compatibility with the standard GoElectric tariff does not necessarily mean that a charger supports direct integration with EDF’s optional Smart Charging service.
EDF currently supports direct Smart Charging integration with compatible Myenergi Zappi and Hypervolt chargers, alongside certain eligible electric vehicles. We recommend checking the latest information with EDF and your chosen EV charger manufacturer before purchasing a charger or enabling Smart Charging.
