Cheapest Time to Charge an EV on Agile
A home charger cares about a block of hours, not a single half-hour.
The default here is 14 kWh over two hours, roughly a 7 kW charger. A three-pin granny cable is closer to 2 kWh an hour, so lower the kWh on the plan page if that is what you use. The table uses each region’s cheapest published two-hour block.

How many kWh does the ev charge example use?
14 kWh over 2 hours. Two hours on a 7 kW home charger, about 40–50 miles. A granny cable uses far less per hour.
Are these tomorrow’s prices?
They are the cheapest block inside the prices Octopus has published, which may include tomorrow after about 4pm UK time. Missing hours are left blank.
Does this include the standing charge?
No. The cost is unit rate times kWh only.
