The French energy provider makes a big splash with an offer where car charging drops to €0.128/kWh. Unprecedented!
TotalEnergies is no longer just a gas station operator, and you can see this by exploring all its offers for individuals. Electricity and gas are now part of the menu, with the advantage of being a producer. It thus sells its energy directly, removing intermediaries. This results in tariffs that can be very aggressive… towards competitors.
Since August 1, 2023, the electricity price has increased by 30% compared to January 1, heavily impacting households. The new EDF regulated tariff grid now charges 0.2276 euros per kWh on the basic option. If you choose the Off-peak option, these prices rise to 0.2460 € during the day and 0.1828 € at night. In summary, savings are possible if you plug in all your appliances at night.
However, TotalEnergies has decided to go even further with its new Super Off-Peak Hours offer, with the tariff grid shown below.
In summary, the “Day” rate from 7 AM to 11 PM is slightly higher (when you’re at the office…) at €0.2555, then the off-peak hours (11 PM-2 AM, then 6 AM-7 AM) are aligned with the EDF price (0.1828 €). The novelty lies between 2 AM and 6 AM when the Super Off-Peak Hours are available.
At that time, the kWh drops to €0.1284! That’s twice as cheap as the Peak Hours tariff, and 30% cheaper than EDF’s Off-Peak Hours. When it’s time to switch to electric cars and their recharging, this commercial offer becomes extremely attractive.
Let’s take the example of a Renault Megane EV that travels 13,000 km annually with an average real consumption of 19 kWh/100 km.
EDF Peak Hours Rate: 2470 kW x €0.2276 = €562
EDF Off-Peak Rates: 2470 kW x €0.1828 = €451
TotalEnergies Super Off-Peak Rates: 2470 kW x €0.1284 = €317
That’s an annual savings of €134, putting money back into your pocket. The game in France is to constantly target TotalEnergies and its super-profits, but it’s clear that the purchasing power benefit is appreciable… and achievable thanks to profits.
