Which Energy Tariffs Work Best With These EV Chargers?
Smart charging isn't just about hardware it's about how well your charger integrates with your energy provider. All three of Evergy’s latest chargers the Rolec EVO 7.4kW, Rolec EVO 22kW, and Zappi GLO 7kW are designed to work hand-in-hand with the UK’s most popular EV-friendly tariffs. Whether you’re charging at home overnight or managing usage across a commercial site, aligning your charger with the right tariff can unlock significant savings.
Best Home Tariffs for Smart EV Chargers
Octopus Intelligent Go
One of the most popular smart EV tariffs in the UK. It offers ultra-low rates during off-peak windows (typically around 7.5p/kWh overnight).While all three chargers support scheduled charging, only Zappi GLO is officially compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go. The Rolec EVO supports app scheduling with Octopus Go and similar off-peak tariffs, but not Intelligent Go, some functionality may depend on the vehicle and energy platform used. Zappi GLO: Works particularly well with Intelligent Go, especially when combined with solar. You can schedule grid charging at night, then top up with solar during the day. Rolec EVO 7.4kW: Use the Rolec app or compatible platforms like ev.energy to set schedules for off-peak rates. Full Intelligent Go integration is not currently supported.
OVO Charge Anytime
Offers a flat EV charging rate regardless of the time of day, provided the charger can communicate with OVO’s API. Zappi GLO integrates directly with this plan, while Rolec units may require OCPP or third-party platform compatibility to unlock its full benefits.
E.ON Next Drive
A fixed off-peak tariff designed for nighttime charging. Both Rolec chargers and the Zappi GLO can be programmed to operate within E.ON’s off-peak hours using their built-in scheduling tools.

What About Commercial Energy Tariffs?
If you’re installing the Rolec EVO 22kW at a commercial site, the optimal energy tariff depends on your usage profile: Time-of-use commercial energy plans: If charging takes place overnight or outside business hours, scheduled charging can significantly lower costs. Fixed-rate business electricity: Load balancing features help distribute demand, ensuring predictable draw even at higher usage levels. EV charging is now a core part of many UK energy strategies and the right combination of smart charger and smart tariff can cut annual charging costs by hundreds of pounds.
