Your GoElectric EV tariff questions answered
Is the GoElectric Overnight tariff only available to EV drivers?
Yes. This tariff is exclusively available to drivers of an electric vehicle, which they charge at home.
Will I save money by switching to GoElectric Overnight vs standard variable single-rate?
This depends on how much energy you use within the off-peak hours of your chosen tariff.
We recommend that you should be using at least 25% of your energy within the off-peak hours for GoElectric Overnight to make it a good option for you. Our EV customers use an average of 51% during off-peak hours on this tariff.
Do I need to have both fuels with you to access GoElectric Overnight?
No, GoElectric Overnight is available as dual fuel but you can choose to just have your electricity on it if you wish, you’d just need an active EDF electricity account with a fully connected(4) smart meter.
If I don’t have a smart meter can I get access to GoElectric Overnight?
You must have a fully connected smart meter(4) to benefit from the off-peak rates of this tariff. Having a smart meter tells us how much electricity you’re using during peak and off-peak hours, which is then used to work out your bill.
What happens if I don't have a compatible smart meter?
If you don't have a compatible smart meter that we can connect to, unfortunately you won’t be able to access our GoElectric Overnight. Smart meters tell us how much electricity you’re using during peak and off-peak hours, which is how we’ll work out your bill.
How long will it take for me to get a smart meter installed?
It takes 2 to 4 weeks to get a smart meter once you've joined EDF. Occasionally this may take a little longer, depending on where you live.
If you're an existing EDF customer you can book a smart meter appointment through MyAccount.
How do I sign up to GoElectric Overnight if I’m not already an EDF customer?
You’ll need to join EDF on our GoElectric Single Rate tariff whilst we take over your supply and connect(5) with your smart meter, if you already have one.
No Smart meter? No problem! Once your electricity supply is with us, you’ll be able to book an appointment through MyAccount. Once your smart meter is installed and connected (4) you’ll be ready to access GoElectric Overnight.

Notes
Based on an EV achieving 3.5 miles per kWh and charging using the GoElectric Overnight tariff off-peak rate of 8p per kWh.
EDF's GoElectric Overnight tariff is backed with 100% zero carbon nuclear electricity. At the end of each fuel mix reporting year, EDF will make sure they've purchased enough nuclear electricity from EDF owned nuclear generation to match the total volume of electricity supplied to all their customers on the GoElectric Overnight tariff. A fuel mix reporting year begins on 1 April and ends on 31 March the following year.
The zero-carbon electricity purchased is supplied to the National Grid. Customers receive electricity via the National Grid, not directly from zero-carbon generators.
The below table summarises zero-carbon generation by company demonstrating EDF generating 34.3%. The data supporting the table below and the % values is sourced from a mixture of industry settlement data and the UK government renewable obligation database.
