Introducing Next Drive Smart: the cheapest and easiest way to charge your EV at home

Check here to see if your model is supported

Whenever you schedule your car to charge using the Next Connect app, your electricity will be billed at 6.7p per kWh - even if this is outside the off-peak window. On top of this you’ll get the regular off-peak hours between 12am and 7am, giving you the longest and cheapest off-peak window on the market.

Our Next Connect app automatically charges your car during times when electricity is cheapest. You simply set when you need your car ready between 4am and 11am, and what level of charge you want, and we’ll take care of the rest.

If you need to override your current Next Connect charging schedule, you can do so using the “Boost” feature in the Next Connect app.

If you do this during peak hours, you’ll be billed at the peak rate - any boost charges during  off-peak hours will be billed at the off-peak rate.

To be eligible, you must own or lease a compatible EV, have a home EV charger, and have a smart meter installed.
