Power Up Your Home and EV with Wil-lec Group and Octopus Energy


As an EV owner in Grimsby, you're already making a smart choice. But did you know that your electric vehicle can help reduce your energy use further? By partnering with Wil-lec Group and Octopus Energy, you can optimize your home's energy usage and significantly reduce your energy bills.

Having an electric vehicle and adding a home charger gives you access to many Octopus time of use tariffs including Octopus Energy Go which offers the following rates -

Night rate (00:30 - 05:30): 8.5p / kWh

Day rate (05:30 - 00:30): 24.67p / kWh

By charging the battery overnight and using this stored energy in the day could save you up to £2 per day or over £700 a year or a staggering £8500 over 12 years of a typical guaranteed period for a battery. And these are just at todays rates with energy prices being predicted to rise over the remainder of the decade the savings could be even bigger.

The Power of Home Batteries

Home batteries are a game-changer in energy management. By storing electricity during off-peak hours when energy is cheaper, these batteries can power your home during peak demand periods, reducing your reliance on the grid and potentially lowering your energy bills.

How it Works

  1. Off-Peak Charging: Your home battery can store electricity during the night when energy prices are typically lower.
  2. Peak-Time Discharge: During the day when energy is more expensive, your battery can release stored energy to power your home.
  3. Time-of-Use Tariffs: Octopus Energy offers flexible tariffs that allow you to charge your EV and power your home at the cheapest times of the day.
