EDF Expands Smart Charging Access to myenergi zappi and Hypervolt Drivers to Boost Savings and Off-Peak Flexibility

(IN BRIEF) EDF has expanded its Smart Charging service to support myenergi zappi and Hypervolt EV chargers, giving more electric vehicle owners access to off-peak charging rates throughout the day. Customers on the GoElectric or EVolve tracker tariffs can now benefit from automated charging based on electricity cost and carbon intensity, with potential annual savings of up to £555 compared with the Standard Variable Tariff. To celebrate the broader availability, EDF is providing an additional £10 reward to Smart Charging participants between 21 November and 19 December 2025, alongside the standard £5 monthly incentive. Smart Charging, powered by Kraken, also applies off-peak pricing to all household electricity used while the EV is charging. More than 1,000 customers have already joined the programme since its launch in May, and drivers can manage their setup through the EDF app or MyAccount. EDF states the expansion will make EV ownership simpler, cheaper, and more sustainable.

(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 2-Dec-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — EDF is broadening access to its Smart Charging feature, enabling owners of myenergi zappi and Hypervolt EV chargers to benefit from extended off-peak electricity rates and smarter, lower-cost home charging. The expansion allows more electric vehicle drivers to take advantage of EDF’s automated charging system, which schedules charging when electricity is cleaner and cheaper.

To mark the rollout, EDF is giving Smart Charging customers an additional £10 bill credit between 21 November and 19 December 2025, on top of the regular £5 monthly reward offered to participants.

Smart Charging functions as an add-on to EDF’s GoElectric and EVolve tracker tariffs, both designed to support EV drivers with competitive off-peak pricing. Powered by Kraken, the Smart Charging platform automatically charges customers’ vehicles at the most cost-efficient times — provided the driver sets their preferences and keeps the vehicle plugged in when not in use. The benefit extends beyond the vehicle itself: whenever the car is charging, customers will receive the off-peak rate for their entire household electricity use, regardless of the time of day.

By stacking Smart Charging with the GoElectric tariff, customers could save up to £555 a year compared with the Standard Variable Tariff, giving households a meaningful financial incentive alongside reduced carbon emissions.

“We want to make owning and running an electric vehicle straightforward and rewarding,” said Rich Hughes, Director of Retail at EDF. “By integrating with well-known charger brands like myenergi zappi and Hypervolt, we’re giving even more EV drivers access to cheaper charging, smarter energy use, and lower emissions. And if your charger isn’t supported yet, you can register and we’ll contact you as soon as it becomes available.”

Since its launch in May, Smart Charging has attracted more than 1,000 EV drivers, reflecting growing interest in smarter charging and more flexible energy consumption.

Customers can activate Smart Charging directly through MyAccount or the EDF mobile app. Each driver receives a personalised daily charging schedule highlighting their off-peak periods so they can simply plug in and let the system handle the rest, ensuring optimal timing for both cost savings and carbon reduction.

[i] Customers set the schedule and keep their EV plugged in when they’re not using it. EDF will charge it automatically when electricity is at its cheapest. Customers will always pay their off-peak rates when their EV charges, no matter what time of the day it is. If their EV is charging, they’ll be charged the off-peak rates for electricity in their home too.

[ii] Terms and conditions apply: https://www.edfenergy.com/smartcharging-offer-ts-and-cs

[iii] £280 saving compares EDF’s GoElectric Jan27 tariff cost at £1,935 a year based on a dual fuel customer using total electricity consumption of 4,650 kWh (2,700kWh peak rates and 1,950 kWh off-peak rates) and Ofgem typical gas consumption of 11,500 kWh. This is compared to a dual fuel Standard Variable customer (Electricity Economy 7 meter adjusted for equivalent electricity use) which will cost £2215 a year based on October 2025 energy price cap rates. This assumes your car is charged during off-peak hours at the GoElectric off-peak rate. We use a national average of Direct Debit regional prices and actual savings may apply depending on usage and charging patterns.
To get up to the £275 Smart Charging bolt-on saving, annual savings assume 3,150kWh charging off-peak and a £5/month credit. Smart Charging offers an extra 1,200 kWh of off-peak charging. The total off-peak charging is 3,150 kWh with EDF’s GoElectric tariff (GoElectric’s off-peak rates at 1,950 kWh). Prices correct as of 25 September 2025.
