What are the EV Nightshift off-peak rate times?

Q: What is an electric vehicle (EV) tariff?

Power NI’s electric vehicle tariffs are designed for households that own or lease a plug-in electric car and charge at home. Customers will get the best value for their EV mileage when they charge their car at home on one of our EV tariffs.

Q: Can I have a combination of both tariffs?

No, we can only provide one tariff per household meter.

Q: I drive an electric car, which tariff is for me?

It depends on your daily mileage, EV range and lifestyle. EV Anytime gives you the best unit rate 24 hours a day with a quarterly standing charge. If you have a long commute, often needing to top up your range in the evening, or regularly charge your car during the day, the EV Anytime tariff will give you flexibility and the best value. EV Nightshift is an off-peak EV tariff. If you regularly have range to spare after your daily driving and you can wait to charge your car overnight, the EV Nightshift tariff is probably for you. To take full advantage of this tariff you should charge during the off-peak hours as much as possible. The best way to do this is to have a programmable home smart charger or be able to programme your car to charge at certain times, to ensure your car charges at the off-peak rate times only.

Q: Where does Power NI’s renewable electricity come from?

Power NI supports local micro and large-scale generators. Our renewable electricity is achieved through PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) with wind, photo-voltaic (PV) and hydroelectric generators across Northern Ireland. Power NI's renewable electricity is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates issued by the UK energy regulator, Ofgem.

Q: What additional benefits do I get with the EV tariffs?

All Power NI customers get access to Power NI Perks , our loyalty rewards scheme, with discounts off hundreds of brands on the high street and online. As well as this, we offer eco-friendly paperless billing through our online account . Once you’ve made the switch to Power NI, simply register for an online account and download our handy app. Our EV tariffs can supply electricity from 100% renewable sources too.
