We’re about to move to a house with ev charging and solar panels (no battery).

we’re trying to decide between these two tariffs, which would be better? It’s basically a choice between cheap charging or selling to the grid.

I have the same set up as you and use British Gas for both the EV tariff and to sell back to the grid. I don’t think they need to be the same provider though - I think you can sell back to someone totally different if you want.
I used Chat GPT to help me work out what set up would be best. I told it what I needed in terms of EV charging etc and it suggested the best tariffs and also when to charge the car, when to run heavy use appliances etc.

Thank you so much this has helped us a lot. It looks like we’ll use both tariffs too.
