Fueling your EV is simple. Electricity is everywhere but at what price?
Choosing a supplier and tariff is important as it will impact your running costs but with do many options how do you know what's right and can you correctly estimate how much Electricity you're going to use and when?
Unashamedly an advert for Bulb energy in the UK.
Yes, I'll include my referral code in the hope you join and we share in referral bonuses.
My Bulb referral is worth £75 each instead of the usual £50 until 16th May 19.

But trying to make some money from referrals isn't the reason for this video. It's to share the thought process and reasoning as to why I've chosen Bulb and the tariff that suits me.
Of course I'm going to rave on about Bulb.
Just look at the contrast.
Normally with Scottish Power, EON, British Gas, Npower etc you expect hassles, delays, mistakes and poor communication, all for a cheaper rate that they fully intend to get their money back from you later by withholding credits, insisting on overly high DD amounts and exits fees or massively increased rates when you don't switch in time. Of course they'll hide the date your deal ends just to make it more difficult too.
Bulb are refreshingly different.
Their communication is simple, online and it's on time too. Their systems work, first time. The quote was the fastest I've completed and the switch the easiest I've performed.
Bulb switched me hassle free and on time.
If you use a referral as I did you get a bonus on joining. I received £50 which was effectively a months energy for free.
Since joining them, Bulb have reduced the standing charge on my account. What energy provider reduces their prices after you join? No exit fees, no fixed term contracts just simple good , green energy at fair prices PLUS the chance of referral credits to massively reduce your bills.
It all seems too good to be true, which is why I recommend it. Be careful of seemingly cheap rates that you'll struggle to maximise the use of.
5p per kWh at 3am is great but if you're paying 40p at 5pm, you'll need to work out your average price per day.
Going solar, choosing your tariff etc involves a lot of consideration as to how and when you consume electricity and how you might in the future. Flexibility is key as without it, you'll either not minimise your costs or you'll have a lot of effort and inconvenience trying to optimise it.
Whichever company and tariff you choose. Keep on top of your usage and costs.
