Andersen is giving 5,000 free electric miles to customers who purchase one of its home chargers and pair it with the Intelligent Octopus Go EV tariff.
Intelligent Octopus Go brings charging costs down to 7p per kilowatt hour during off-peak hours from 11.30pm to 5.30am and offers dynamic charging at the lower rate during low-demand daytime hours.
Standard EV charging without a dedicated tariff costs an average of 23p per kWh, totalling up to £609 annually. With Intelligent Octopus Go’s charging rates, costs are reduced to £185 each year – a saving of £424. Factor in Andersen’s 5,000 free miles, awarded as a £106 charging credit, and and first-year home charging costs are slashed to £79.
For comparison, motorists driving petrol cars are faced with an average annual fuel bill of £1,336.
Andersen estimates that with that even with purchase of one of its chargers, EV drivers will still save £127 in year one compared to petrol bills and will continue to save money on refuelling in the future.
The Andersen chargers available with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff are the 7kW Quartz priced from £695, the 7kW A3 priced from £995, and the A2 7kW priced from £1,199. The latter two charge boxes come with Andersen’s hidden cable charging technology.
“Motorists choosing electric vehicles have the opportunity to make major savings on their running costs,” said David Martell, Andersen CEO. “While the switch from petrol to EV alone creates significant savings, with our Andersen Quartz charger, Intelligent Octopus Go and free mileage offer, EV drivers can enjoy a premium charging experience and make exceptional savings annually.
“There’s a perception that the investment in a home EV charger will outweigh the financial benefits but that’s not the case – motorists can see savings of around £117 in the first year with Andersen’s free miles, increasing to £1,151 from the second year.”
The deal between Andersen and Intelligent Octopus Go deal finishes on December 31, 2025.
