Next Drive Smart: our cheapest EV tariff¹

We support a wide range of EV's, and fingers crossed yours is on the list. See supported EV's.

If your EV isn’t currently supported, please check back soon. In the meantime you can see our Next Drive Tariffs.

Whenever you schedule your car to charge using the Next Connect app, your electricity will be billed at 6.2p per kWh - even if this is outside the off-peak window. On top of this you’ll get the regular off-peak hours between 12am and 7am, giving you the longest and cheapest off-peak window on the market.

Our Next Connect app automatically charges your car during times when electricity is cheapest. You simply set when you need your car ready between 4am and 11am, and what level of charge you want, and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you need to override your current Next Connect charging schedule, you can do so using the “Boost” feature in the Next Connect app.

If you do this during peak hours, you’ll be billed at the peak rate - any boost charges during off-peak hours will be billed at the off-peak rate.

No, there are no exit fees with Next Drive Smart. You can switch at any time.

By joining this pilot, you’ll play a crucial role in shaping this innovative new tariff with us.

While there may be some occasional hiccups, your feedback on what we can improve will help us refine it for the next generation of EV drivers.
