Electric vehicle (EV) owners are always looking for ways to reduce their charging costs, and with the right combination of a smart energy tariff and an efficient home charger, the savings can be significant. Pairing the new Utilities Warehouse (UW) EV tariff with a Lemac Power 7kW Charger is an excellent way to drive down costs and enjoy convenient, hassle-free charging.

Off-peak tariffs allow you to charge your EV during hours when energy demand is low, often at a fraction of the standard rate. The UW EV tariff stands out with its highly competitive 7p/kWh off-peak rate, making it one of the best options on the market for cost-conscious drivers.

Pairing the Utilities Warehouse EV tariff with a Lemac Power 7kW Charger offers even greater benefits:

Cost Savings: By using the Lemac Power smart charger, you can easily schedule charging during the UW off-peak window (12am to 5am), ensuring you always benefit from the 7p/kWh rate. For most EV owners, this could mean over 75% in savings compared to standard rates and public charging.

Smart Charging Features: Lemac Power chargers are equipped with smart functionality, allowing you to set your charging sessions to start automatically during off-peak hours. You won’t need to worry about manually adjusting your charger every night—simply plug in your EV, and the charger will handle the rest.

Optimized for Home Use: The Lemac Power 7kW charger is perfect for overnight home charging, delivering a full charge for most EVs within the UW off-peak window. Whether you have a Nissan Leaf, a Kia e-Niro, or any other EV or PHEV model, this pairing ensures your car is ready to go each morning at a fraction of the cost.

Bundled Savings with UW: Utilities Warehouse doesn’t just help you save on electricity—by bundling your gas, broadband, and mobile services, you can cut costs across your household bills, making UW one of the best all-around options for budget-conscious homeowners.

For example, charging a Nissan Leaf (40kWh battery) using the UW tariff costs just £2.80 for a full charge. By comparison, a standard home tariff at 22.36p/kWh would cost £8.94, while public chargers average £20 or more. Clearly, the savings with UW and other off peak tariffs are substantial.

Tariff Provider	Off-Peak Rate	Off-Peak Window	Cost of a 40kWh charge
Utilities Warehouse	7p/kWh	5h (12am to 5am)	£2.80
Octopus Go	7.5p/kWh	4h (12:30am to 4:30am)	£3.00
British Gas Electric	9p/kWh	5h (12am to 5am)	£3.60
EDF GoElectric 35	9p/kWh	5 Hours (12am to 5am)	£3.60
Standard Home Tariff	22.36p/kWh	N/A	£8.94
Public Charging	56p/kWh	N/A	£22.40

For EV owners looking to maximize savings and convenience, combining the Utilities Warehouse EV tariff with a Lemac Power 7kW Charger is a smart move. With UW’s low 7p/kWh off-peak rate, you’ll see dramatic reductions in your charging costs. Add in the smart features of the Lemac Power charger, and you’ve got a solution that delivers cost-effective, hassle-free charging every night.

Not only will you reduce your EV running costs, but by bundling other services with UW, you can simplify your bills and enjoy savings across multiple utilities. It’s a win-win for both your wallet and your EV!
