Smart charging with Charge Anytime unlocks the cheaper charging rate of 7p. It helps move the UK energy system towards a smarter, greener way of using energy. If more people use energy when the grid is greener, the country can rely less on fossil fuels at peak times.
At the end of the month, we work out how much energy you've used to smart charge your car. We'll use this info to credit your energy account in the first week of the following month. So that your smart charging rate reflects our 7p per kWh rate.
For example:
The Charge Anytime rate is 7p per kWh. And let’s stay your standard electricity rate is 26p per kWh.
We’ll credit you 19p for each kWh you’ve used to smart charge your EV. To make your smart charging rate 7p.
This means if you use 100 kWh of energy smart charging your EV, you’ll get £19 in credit back on your bill.
It’ll appear on your monthly OVO bill under “Charge Anytime Credit”. The credit shown on your bill will be for the electricity you used when smart charging your car in the previous month.

If you cancel your lease before you receive your vehicle, you won’t get the credit.
