What is an EV electricity plan?
An EV electricity plan is a tariff that has been designed with the charging habits of electric vehicle owners in mind. These kinds of plans typically offer either bill credits or designated charging periods with lower usage rates, to help EV owners offset the additional electricity costs associated with charging their vehicle at home. These kinds of plans are still relatively new in the market so only a few providers currently provide them, although this list looks to be growing.
Which providers offer EV electricity plans?
Is it worth signing up to an EV dedicated power plan?
Switching to a dedicated EV power plan will definitely come with its perks for EV owners. Whether it be through the bill credits awarded or the cheaper charging periods set, there is the potential for EV owners to save on energy costs if they take advantage of these kinds of plans.
The biggest savings will come to those that take all the necessary steps to meet the requirements of the plan, e.g. shifting their charging schedule to align with the times of the tariff. EV owners that aren’t comfortable or in a position to do this, may find greater value from another kind of plan. It’s also important to note that, though you may be charged cheaper rates during ‘charging times’, these plans may offer rates that are slightly higher than those available on normal market contracts outside of these times. This means you could be charged more for your day-to-day energy usage.

There is no contract term or exit fees and Red Energy has a ‘renewable matching promise’ where for every unit of electricity you buy from them, Snowy Hydro Limited will match it by generating one unit of electricity from a renewable source.

Please note, while customers must own a smart meter in order to access this plan, households can remain on a single rate tariff on certain distribution networks in NSW, VIC, QLD and SA.

Powershop Power Drive Plans
In Victoria, NSW, QLD and SA, Powershop is offering specialised plans for those who own an electric vehicle. In order to be eligible, customers must own a smart meter and move to a time of use tariff, meaning usage charges vary depending on the time of day power is used.
