EDF offering £300 for electric vehicle tariff sign up

EDF is offering £300 to anyone who signs up to its Pod Point Plug and Power tariff before the end of January.

The energy company says that, based on an electric vehicle (EV) achieving 3.5 miles per kWh and charging with an off-peak rate of 8.49p per kWh, it is the equivalent of more than 12,000 miles of free electric driving. 

Both new and existing customers can sign-up to the unique EV home charger and tariff bundle to receive the £300 bill credit.

Rich Hughes, director of retail at EDF, said: “We're excited to start 2025 with big savings for drivers by offering them an even better deal on the Pod Point Plug and Power tariff. 

“By spreading the cost of a charger over two years, we already make it easier for customers to manage typically high upfront costs. Now, with an additional £300 back upon signing up, the costs are even lower. 

“We all know driving electric will reduce our carbon footprint, and our aim is by offering more deals like this to help customers save cash in the process, we hope it’ll encourage more drivers to make the switch.”

‘Pod Point Plug & Power’ offers drivers the ability to purchase a charger, the Pod Point Solo 3S, for an upfront cost of £499 (RRP £1,099), with the remainder of the cost for the charger spread over two years and integrated into the tariff. 

The tariff, priced at £1,383 for electricity only, comes with cheaper overnight electricity at 8.49p per kWh from 12am to 5am.

To sign-up, customers can visit EDF’s website, and once signed up, EDF will forward details onto Pod Point so they can buy the Solo 3S EV charger from £499. T

The Solo 3S comes with standard installation included and a five-year warranty. The Pod Point app also lets users manage their home charging from their phone.

Customers must have a smart meter and be opted into half hourly meter readings to be eligible. Once customers have purchased their charger and booked an installation date, EDF will apply the £300 credit to their account within 30 days.
