Seems EDF Energy are doing a similar thing to EVEZY - all inclusive monthly rental

Also have some free home charging points for early adopters.

Slightly different cars to EVEZY and maybe cheaper (i3 at close to 300 p/m)

Would be interested to compare and contrast if anyone has experienced both

I think the key difference is that Evezy is a monthly commitment. This EDF deal seems to be 48 months for most of the cars (shorter for the Tesla). I suspect that explains the price difference.

Looks like the i3 is basically a 9+48 lease deal at £305 / month for 5000 miles per annum. This equates to around £17.4k over 4years or £360/ish per month, assuming there are no other costs and you are haply with 5k mileage.

The Evezy deal is much, much better due to no long term commitment, and higher standard mileage allowance.

And insurance + free Polar charging included.

ETA - Oh, and maintenance (servicing, tyres etc.)

Just to confirm, this is nothing like Evezy.

EDF is partnered with Drive Electric who will contact you, and they in turn lease via Lex.

The prices are not good either. Standard i3 120Ah on 3+47 12k pa is £380 a month. So that averages out at £395 a month and you're tied in for 4 years and it doesn't include maintenance, insurance, polar charging etc etc.

As expected Evezy is much better value for money at £399 all inclusive.

It does come with having EDF as your energy provider and you get their "100% renewable GoElectric tariff offers super cheap off-peak charging from 9pm until 7am on weekdays and all weekend at just 8.01p/kWh"

I have no idea if that's a good rate. Of course I doubt it's fixed for the 4 years of lease. But there is some "cheap charging" as part of the deal...

(The Polar charging thing with Evezy isn't great for our usage. Unless they could put one on the drive/at the OHs workplace. Otherwise it's going out the way to random locations just to charge the car ready for the next few days. So cheap at home charging would be better. The rest of the deal...not so much)

The cheap EV tariff is available on it's own, there's no requirement to lease a car or buy the charge point.

As above, you don't need to sign up for a lease for that deal, and I think Octopus Go is better anyway at 5p/kWh between 00:30 - 04:30.

Fair enough about the Polar charging, I doubt many people could do all of their miles just from Polar chargers, however it is a good bonus when out and about.

Octopus has a cheaper unit rate but only for 4 hours per night.

EDF's rate is applicable 10 hours every night and all weekend from 9pm Friday through to Monday morning, so the whole property gets the cheap rate for a lot longer.
