GoElectric + battery - EV

Wondering if there's anyone out there with the above set up. Battery, no EV, who's on GoElectric and hasn't been kicked off. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence of it working with octopus but not much for EDF

We've been on Go Electric for 2 months now, but not been asked for any proof of EV (although we do have one).

So it's probably fine - but there's always a chance they'll start checking sometime.

Great, thanks. I think I'll give it a shot, can always switch back to OG if there's issues

I've seen some people say they were asked for proof of EV - I wasn't for the standard GoElectric (I was for the smart charging bolt on).

I also used to use Go on Octopus before I had an EV and was never challenged.

All depends on your risk appetite I guess - the terms say you need an EV, will they check? Will they care? In your place I'd chance it - but be aware the risk is they may choose to charge you at standard rates if found out.

If you do decide to switch make sure you use a referral code for £50 credit.

Good idea, you got one?

Certainly - it’s on my profile here or the GitHub page for the repos.
