I have a few friends here who use OVO (myself included now). With an EV their overnight 8c/kWh charge is fantastic (AGL offer similar). They also give you completely free electricity between 11 and 2 every day. You may wonder how they can do that. There's a flood of free renewable energy in the middle of the day, so much that the grid will pay you to use it. So retailers like OVO can offer you free electricity, and still make money, they get paid to use it. I now can also charge the home battery in winter in the middle of the day for free, and overnight at 8c/kWh, to top up any daytime solar to use for heating. This is all so gloriously easy and amazing. I'm totally fed up with the sponsored bullshit that is running so many peoples' lives. Social media zombies.
