Do I need a smart meter?

To access lower-cost electricity, you will usually need a smart meter and a smart tariff from your energy supplier. This allows your usage to be measured every half hour and charged at different rates across the day and night, so you can make the most of cheaper, typically greener off-peak electricity.

Even without a smart meter or a specialist smart tariff, the ZEB can still optimise when it charges to help minimise your carbon footprint. Its smart charging algorithm aligns charging with periods that are generally cleaner on the grid, helping you cut emissions from your heating while you decide if and when to upgrade your meter or switch tariff.
