Energy Companies

I don't have an electric car and object to paying high prices for electricity to a company that sells the same electricity very cheaply to charge electric cars.

Any suppliers that don't offer this?

[Buenchico]

The chances of any electricity supplier choosing to miss out n the fastest-growing sector of the market must, I feel sure, be absolutely zero!

Energy providers have been offering cut-price overnight electricity for many decades (via 'Economy 7').  EV tariffs are simply an extension of that policy.

Buen, I had Economy 7 for years until it was no longer beneficial.  That at least was of benefit to any householder that wanted it.

^so is the EV tariff...beneficial to any householder that wants it, surely?

[barry1010]

No, it is beneficial to car owners.

[Canary42]

Car owners are householders too.

[gingejbee]

No. it is beneficial to electric vehicle owners.

In the same way that Economy 7 was beneficial to (for example) people with night-storage heating. It didn't benefit those who couldn't use it.

[barry1010]

Anyone with electricity could install storage heaters to heat their homes.

 

[gingejbee]

Yes, and anyone can choose an electric vehicle.

You've obviously got a "thing" about this subject, which I will leave you to argue withis somebody else.

"Any suppliers that don't offer this?"

I suggest you're looking at this the wrong way round. Just choose the best tariff for you as a non EV user rather than worrying out how much providers charge for EVs.
