Available tariffs from E.ON Next
E.ON Next Drive — 6.7p EV tariff explained
E.ON Next Drive drops electricity to 6.7p/kWh between 00:00 and 07:00 — a generous seven-hour off-peak window (compared with EDF GoElectric Overnight's five hours, or Octopus Go's five hours). The seven-hour window means even a depleted EV from a 0–80% charge typically completes inside the cheap rate. Peak hours (07:00–00:00) sit at standard cap-aligned levels (~27–28p/kWh in August 2026).
There's no exit fee on Drive, so you can move to it the moment your smart meter is installed and in half-hourly mode. For a 10,000-mile/yr EV driver charging at home (consuming ~3,000 kWh/yr in vehicle electricity), Drive saves around £600/yr versus charging at the standard variable cap rate.
Worth comparing: Octopus Intelligent Octopus Go (7p over a six-hour smart window), Octopus Go (8.5p over five hours), EDF GoElectric Overnight (9p over five hours), British Gas Electric Driver v3 (8.95p over five hours). For an unconstrained overnight charge, E.ON Next Drive's seven-hour window at 6.7p often wins the headline tariff race. Compare at your postcode in the form above.
E.ON Next Heat Pump v2 — 14p flat-rate dedicated tariff
E.ON Next Heat Pump v2 charges a single-rate 14p/kWh for electricity used by a verified MCS-installed air-source or ground-source heat pump — significantly below the standard cap rate (~25–28p/kWh) and competitive with British Gas Heat Pump Tariff (14.5p flat). Eligibility requires proof of MCS installation; E.ON Next typically asks for the installer's MCS certificate and your pump model.
For a typical 3-bedroom semi-detached running an 8 kW heat pump with annual electricity demand of around 5,500 kWh (heating + hot water), Heat Pump v2 at 14p saves roughly £700/yr versus the cap-aligned variable rate. It's a flat single-rate tariff, so there's no need to time-shift demand — the pump can run on the home's weather-compensation schedule.
Compare against: British Gas Heat Pump Tariff (14.5p flat). EDF doesn't currently offer a dedicated heat-pump tariff — its closest option is GoElectric Overnight (9p between 00:00–05:00) which only works well if you have a large thermal store. Octopus Cosy (13p in three windows 04–07, 13–16, 22–00) can be cheaper if your pump can be scheduled to those windows but more complex to optimise. Verify at your postcode via the form.

E.ON Next reputation — Citizens Advice, Trustpilot, customer service
E.ON Next has been one of the most consistent Big Six performers on Citizens Advice's quarterly star rating for the last 18 months — typically 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5, ahead of British Gas and EDF in most recent quarters. The strongest area is response time on customer-service queries; the weakest tends to be smart meter installation lead times in some regions.
Trustpilot (August 2026): around 4.4 stars (Excellent) across ~100,000 reviews — the highest of the Big Six and within touching distance of Octopus Energy. The 100% REGO-backed renewable electricity claim is well-received in customer feedback, though customers should note REGO certificates do not require direct renewable supply matching. UK call centres in Nottingham and Leicester rather than offshored support are a recurring positive.
Frequently asked questions — E.ON Next tariffs (August 2026)
What's the cheapest E.ON Next tariff in August 2026?
How does the E.ON Next Pledge guarantee work?
Is E.ON Next really 100% renewable?
E.ON Next matches all electricity supplied to domestic customers with Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates — that's the regulator-recognised standard for 100% renewable electricity claims. REGOs do not require direct renewable supply matching (the certificate market is well-established but separate from physical generation). E.ON also owns solar and wind generation assets in the UK.
Is E.ON Next Drive the cheapest EV tariff?
By headline off-peak unit rate, E.ON Next Drive (6.7p, seven-hour window) currently beats EDF GoElectric Overnight (9p, five hours) and British Gas Electric Driver v3 (8.95p, five hours). Intelligent Octopus Go (7p over a smart-controlled six-hour window with extension if needed) is competitive — and for very high EV mileage it can win once the extension kicks in. Compare at your postcode in the form above.
How do I qualify for E.ON Next Heat Pump v2?
You need a verified MCS-installed air-source or ground-source heat pump. E.ON Next asks for proof of installation — typically the installer's MCS certificate and the pump model — before moving you onto the 14p/kWh single-rate tariff. The tariff applies to all your electricity, not just the pump.
What is Next Export's SEG rate?
16.5p/kWh flat export rate under a 12-month fix. That's significantly higher than the typical SEG flat rate (4–8p) and competitive with British Gas Export & Earn Plus (15.1p flat). For homes that can shift export to peak grid-demand half-hours, Octopus Flux (variable up to 29.32p) usually pays more in total but requires a battery to be worthwhile.
Does E.ON Next charge exit fees?
How long does an E.ON Next switch take?
Five working days under the Energy Switch Guarantee, plus a 21-day cooling-off period during which you can cancel free of charge. The supply transfers automatically; no break in service. See the step-by-step guide above.
