Plug in and pay 8p for longer: E.ON Next and myenergi unlock more off-peak energy for EV households
- E.ON Next has partnered with myenergi to give customers with a compatible zappi charger access to its Next Drive Smart tariff
- The tariff gives customers a low 8p/kWh rate across their whole home from midnight to 6am, plus extra off-peak charging during the day when scheduled by the E.ON Next app
- Based on 8,000 miles a year, drivers on Next Drive Smart could save up to £435 compared to charging at the standard variable rate*
E.ON Next has partnered with myenergi to give EV drivers with a compatible zappi charger access to the 8p per kWh off-peak rate on its Next Drive Smart tariff via the E.ON Next app - helping to cut charging costs and bring cheaper energy to the whole home.
Next Drive Smart gives households an 8p per kWh rate every night from midnight to 6am. Customers simply plug the car in and set their charging preferences using the E.ON Next Home app and it takes care of the rest.
In a new development, when grid capacity is available, the app can schedule additional charging during the day. At these times, the same 8p per kWh rate applies across the whole home – not just the EV. For a typical driver covering 8,000 miles a year, this could mean savings of up to £435 compared to a standard variable tariff.
Steve Davies, director of strategy and commercial at E.ON Next, said: "With Next Drive Smart, plugging in at home unlocks cheaper electricity for longer across the home. Our partnership with myenergi means customers with a compatible zappi charger and the E.ON Next app can automatically access off-peak rates at other times when grid capacity is available - with no monitoring, no manual scheduling and no extra effort."
Ben Harris, head of energy and mobility at myenergi, said: "We're delighted to be working with E.ON Next. Our integration with the Next Drive Smart tariff means customers now have straightforward access to smarter, cheaper EV charging, without having to think about it."
Both zappi 2.1 and zappi GLO chargers integrate with the Next Drive Smart tariff and are compatible with any make or model of electric vehicle.
Customers already on Next Drive Smart with a compatible charger can connect through the E.ON Next Home app to access the savings straight away. New customers can sign up at eonnext.com.
EV drivers looking to install a compatible charger can also do so through E.ON Next, which offers a simple end-to-end journey covering product, installation and flexible payment options.

Notes to editors
* Tariff saving calculations assume an electric vehicle driving 8,000 miles a year at 3.33 miles per kilowatt, charging 8p per kWh during off-peak Next Drive Smart V6.6 tariff hours; compared to charging at 26.110p/kWh (national average and will vary by region) standard variable tariff rate from 1st July 2026, which is equivalent to £435 saved or a saving of up to 69.36%. T&Cs apply.
