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.

What Is EDF GoElectric?

EDF GoElectric is a dedicated EV electricity tariff designed to make 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.

• Dedicated EV Tariff: Designed specifically for households that regularly charge an electric vehicle at home.
• 7-Hour Off-Peak Window: Provides cheaper electricity every night between 11pm and 6am.
• Lower Overnight Rate: At the time of writing, electricity used during the off-peak window is charged at 6.99p/kWh.
• Broad EV Compatibility: Works with any make or model of electric vehicle and home EV charger.
• Whole-Home Off-Peak Electricity: The cheaper overnight rate applies to electricity used throughout the home during the off-peak window, not just electricity used to charge your EV.
• Fixed-Term Pricing: GoElectric is offered as a fixed-term tariff, providing greater certainty over electricity rates for the duration of the agreement.

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.
