Tomato Energy

[so called]

So I’ve been enjoying Tomato Energy since Feb 2023.
Day tariff - 25p
4 hours per day half price - 12.5p
6 early hours - 5p

Now they are gone. 😟
And transferred to B.Gas.

Intelligent Octo no good as I have an I-Pace.
Any suggestions very welcome.

Get a smart charger (Indra Pro)? Try SO Energy?

Tomato was cheap, and not surprising it was unsustainable.

I'm with Eon on the Next Drive fixed tariff. I switched from Octopus back in May to get 7 hrs per night instead of 5, at a lower price. They've unfortunately now cut it to 6 hrs, this is the present V11 tariff. You'd have to go in the 'standard' tariff for about 2 weeks first though. I only use a 3 pin plug.

You can have intelligent octopus if you have a compatible charger. I have an I-Pace and you just select the % to add rather than the goal.

unsustainable tomatoes... probably not green ones

That’s the most reliable way too!
I have a compatable car and Ohme charger.
But don’t use the car stuff (except on actual car I generally have it set to max out at 80%)
If my car has 20% I just tell Ohme to add say 60%.
It’s never let me down in well over a year.
If I said add 65% in that instance, the car would stop if when it hit 80%.
Easy, faff free, works.
The IOG tariff works well for me, friendly app, a free Nero coffee every week!

Thanks for the supplier advice.

Trying to sort out a new supplier today.
Go Compare called me regarding Scotish Power.
The rates looked OK along with a good export tariff of 15p for my solar panels BUT, they have told me that my smart meter is showing as 'Commercial' ?????
I don't understand why as it has never been and was fine with Octopus and Tomato ???

Btw Octopus might only have cheap overnight tariff for 5 hours but in reality it's for much longer. As long as there's cheap energy around, mine charges around 8pm sometimes if needed at that lower rate. And if I forget to charge it, I just put it on in the morning, and it charges at the cheap rate then too.

the ohme epod supports the ipace which is an intel oct recommended charger

and even if there is a problem you can always just use scheduled charging in the car to restrict it to cheap rate 11:30 PM to 5:30 AM, 6 hours a night should be more than enough for most users

i charged my Tesla for 6 years and never used the app and the charger had no idea what car i had, i just used the in car scheduled charging

6 years on IOG? They do expect a smart charge once a month or can kick you off.
