1. Tariff Terms and Conditions
1.1 In addition to E.ON Next standard residential terms and conditions the following terms will apply. In the event of any inconsistency between these terms and the standard terms and conditions, these terms shall prevail.
2. Contractual Agreement
2.1 This document constitutes a legally binding agreement between you ("the Customer") and E.ON Next ("the Supplier") for the provision of the Next Drive Smart tariff.
2.2 This tariff is a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months, commencing from the date the Customers’ supply starts under this tariff.
3. Eligibility
3.1 To qualify for the Next Drive Smart Tariff, the Customer must:
3.1.1 Own or lease a compatible electric vehicle ("EV"). A list of compatible EVs can be found on our website.
3.1.2 Have a home EV charger installed at the premises.
3.1.3 Download and use the E.ON Next Home app to manage smart charging schedules.
3.1.4 Possess a functioning smart meter capable of transmitting half-hourly usage data to the Supplier.
3.1.5 Consent for the Supplier to obtain consumption data from their smart meter at 30 minute intervals. The Supplier will use this data to bill the Customer, provide the Customer with energy insights, suggest products and services (if marketing consent has been provided), predict energy demand, improve its products and services, reconcile energy purchased on the wholesale market (energy ‘settlement’), and to help keep the smart meter working.
3.1.6 If the Customer withdraws consent for the Supplier to read the electricity consumption through their smart meter every 30 minutes before the fixed terms contract period ends, the tariff will end, and they will move to our Standard Variable Tariff (SVT), Next Flex. When the fixed-term contract period has ended, the Supplier will continue to obtain and use the smart meter data, unless the Customer withdraws consent. More information can be found at eonenergy.com/privacy.
3.1.7 Pay by Direct Debit and manage the account online via the E.ON Next Home app.
3.1.8 If the Customer stops paying by Direct Debit, we reserve the right to end the Next Drive Smart Tariff and switch them to our Standard Variable tariff, or another tariff of their choice.
3.2 By entering this contract, the Customer confirms they meet these eligibility criteria.
4. About this tariff:
4.1 This tariff offers electricity at a lower price during a daily defined ‘off peak’ period of 6 hours, and a higher standard rate (referred to as the “peak” rate) at all other hours of the day.
4.2 This tariff allows the Customer to benefit from “Smart charging”, covered in clause 6. Customers must meet their obligations in order to remain eligible for the Next Drive Smart tariff.

4.6 The prices stipulated in the Customers’ contract shall remain unchanged except under the following circumstances:
4.6.1 The Customer elects to change their tariff
4.6.2 Governmental or regulatory bodies mandate changes necessitating price adjustments, such as modifications in the applicable VAT rate. In the event of such changes, the Supplier shall provide the Customer with a notice of any resulting price adjustments
4.7 Due to the way this tariff works, the Customers’ In-Home Display will stop working. This is an industry wide issue, but the Customer will still be able to keep up to date with their usage through their app.

5. Charges and Payment
5.1 The tariff features both peak (7 AM to 12 AM) and off-peak (12 AM to 7 AM) unit rates.

'When smart charging is enabled via the E.ON Next Home app, EV charging will always occur at off-peak rates as long as the charge is scheduled to complete between 4AM and 11AM.'
5.3 The smart charging schedule will be visible in the E.ON Next Home app.
5.4 Charging initiated by the customer using the boost capability in the E.ON Next Home app (overriding smart charging) during peak hours will incur peak rates.
5.5 The Supplier reserves the right to modify rates during off-peak or peak periods in compliance with regulatory approval, but such changes will not affect the fixed-term nature of the tariff unless mutually agreed upon by both parties.
5.6 In the event of a technical fault resulting in the inability to obtain the Customer’s usage data, or where the Customer’s meter ceases communication with the Supplier’s system, the Supplier will make reasonable efforts to re-request the missing Half-Hourly (HH) consumption data for a period of seven (7) consecutive days from the initial identification of the fault.
5.7 If the Supplier remains unable to collect the missing data after the seven (7) day period, the system will automatically estimate the missing volume using available read data from other periods. The charge for the estimated usage will be calculated using the product’s lowest unit rate to ensure the Customer is not unduly disadvantaged.
5.8 In instances where data is missing for more than four (4) days within a consecutive thirty (30) day period, the Supplier will apply the Customer’s historical consumption average to determine the charge for the uncollected data. The Supplier will also undertake a thorough investigation to identify and rectify the underlying cause of the communication failure.The Supplier will also make every effort to contact the customer throughout the investigation process to ensure transparency and resolution.
5.9 Where/if the missing data issue persists or does not meet the predefined criteria for automated resolution, the Supplier will conduct a manual intervention and ensure that billing is processed in an accurate and fair manner.
5.10 In the event the Supplier is unable to start communicating with the Customers’ meter again, we will contact you to discuss the options available. If the Supplier is unable to contact the Customer, they will move them to their Standard Variable tariff (Next Flex) and let them know in accordance with the Suppliers’ obligation.
