Ovo pricing change could double charging costs for some EV owners

Customers on Charge Anytime deal who drive fewer than 700 miles a month say they will be left with higher bills

Electric vehicle owners fear they will be left out of pocket after the energy supplier Ovo announced changes to a popular charging deal which could double the cost for some customers.

Drivers who have an energy contract with the company can currently charge their vehicles at any time of day or night for 7p a kilowatt hour (kWh), making its Charge Anytime deal the cheapest on the market.
