Pros and cons

Pros

  • Renewable electricity at 100%, secured through ppa, sits behind the whole range.
  • Tariff types run to fixed, variable and ev, adding a variable option to the fixed, time of use and ev set listed by Endesa.
  • The EV kit is a tethered charger at 22 kW with installation included, and solar divert is supported.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so phone and email sit alongside a help centre.
  • A mobile app is available for meter readings and tariff management.

Cons

  • An exit fee of £50 applies, which places Good Energy at 22 of 29 brands ranked on exit fee.
  • Fixed terms are 12 months, so the rate is protected for a short stretch only.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, with no live chat or member forum in the list.
  • Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable, giving households a dynamic option that Good Energy's fixed, variable and ev does not cover.

Who it suits

  • EV owners in GB who charge at home overnight and want renewable supply from the same supplier.
  • Households willing to accept a short fixed term and an exit fee in return for a low off-peak rate.
  • People who want human help on email, phone and help centre rather than app-only self service.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Drivers who want dynamic pricing: Powerpeers lists dynamic tariffs within dynamic, fixed and variable.
  • Anyone needing a prepay option, which Electricity Ratings includes in fixed, ev and time of use but Good Energy leaves out of fixed, variable and ev.

Pricing

The figures that matter on the Good Energy EV Charge tariff come down to two. The off-peak rate is £0.08, which is what a household pays for charging a car overnight on this tariff. The exit fee is £50, and that is the cost of leaving before the term ends. Read together they set the shape of the deal: cheap night-time charging in exchange for staying put. Compare the off-peak rate against other EV tariffs, and check what a renewal quote looks like, because a rate that looks strong at entry can move once the fixed term is over.

What it does well

Renewable electricity is the headline: 100% of supply, with the sourcing basis recorded as ppa. For a household already paying a green tariff, that percentage is the number to check, because it is the part that is easy to claim and hard to compare. The other point is a condition rather than a perk: a smart meter is required, so confirm the property already has a working meter before switching, or allow time for the install. Both are easier to settle up front than to sort out once the term is running.

Who runs it

Good Energy is supplied by Good Energy Services Limited, headquartered in the United Kingdom and trading since 1999. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so phone and email sit alongside a help centre, and that mix counts for a supplier selling hardware as well as supply. Meter readings, charger install dates and tariff questions all land with the same counterparty. The practical test is simple: if a smart meter or an overnight charge session goes wrong, there is a phone route to an operator that has been trading for years.

Frequently asked questions

Does Good Energy supply gas as well as electricity?+

Yes. The fuel mix is electricity and gas, so the same supplier can cover both the electricity and gas side of a household. The company serves GB, which narrows it to a single market, and the tariff types on offer are fixed, variable and ev. Budgeting with the same supplier across both fuels usually simplifies the comparison.

What does charging an EV on this tariff cost?+

The off-peak rate on the Good Energy EV Charge tariff is £0.08, and that is the number to compare against other EV tariffs. Overnight charging is the point of the plan, so a household with a home charger and a normal nightly routine gets the benefit without changing habits. Charger and tariff pairing is listed as Good Energy EV Charge, so check your equipment matches before signing up.

Is there an exit fee if I leave early?+

Yes, the exit fee is £50. Across the brands ranked on exit fee, Good Energy sits at 22 out of 29, so the charge is worth weighing before you commit to the term. If you expect to move home or switch supplier before the term ends, the exit fee matters as much as the off-peak rate of £0.08.

Do I need a smart meter to be on these tariffs?+

Yes, a smart meter is required. That is the condition attached to the tariff range rather than an optional extra, so check the property has a working meter before switching, and allow time for an install if it does not. It is worth settling before you sign up, since the tariffs on offer are fixed, variable and ev and all of them sit behind that requirement.

How renewable is the electricity?+

Renewable electricity is 100%, and the recorded basis is ppa. That pairing is the part to compare, because a green claim and the way the supply is secured are different questions, and only the second is fixed by a named mechanism. If you also run gas, the same supplier covers electricity and gas, so the renewable commitment sits on the electricity side.

Is there an app and how do I get help?+

Yes, a mobile app is available, and support runs on email, phone and help centre. In practice that means phone, email and a help centre rather than a single route, so a meter or charger question does not have to go through the app. The app suits households who want to check usage between bills, and the phone and email routes cover anything an app cannot settle.

How long is the fixed term and what happens at renewal?+

Fixed terms are 12 months, and the wider range also includes variable and time-of-use options, so a household is not pushed into the fixed deal. Renewal is the point to re-check: the off-peak rate of £0.08 is the figure to compare at entry, and it is worth asking what a renewal quote looks like before committing, since a competitive rate can change once the term ends.

What does the charger and installation cost?+

Installation is included with the charger, and the listed installation cost is from £985.50. The unit is tethered and rated at 22 kW, with solar divert supported, so it suits a driveway setup rather than a shared or street-side bay. The charger and tariff pairing is listed as Good Energy EV Charge, so confirm the hardware matches the EV tariff you pick before ordering.
