WATT A DEAL! E.ON Next launches grocery store to showcase the value of EV at-home charging
- New EVerything £2.70 store ONLY stocks items that would typically cost £2.70, the same price you could be paying to charge your EV overnight with E.ON Next Drive tariff
- Shop stock with a £2.70 price tag includes four fifths of a cup of coffee, one and a half loaves of bread and just under half a pack of toilet roll
- The London pop-up will show that EV charging can cost the same as everyday items
- Visitors can choose one store item for FREE, including freshly made coffee, fruit and sweets
On the 14 and 15 May, E.ON Next will open the doors to its EVerything £2.70 store, a first of its kind grocer in Central London. The twist? The store will only stock items worth exactly £2.70, the same price drivers could be paying to fully charge their EV (electric vehicle) overnight at home with the E.ON Next Drive tariff.[1]
The store will boast a range of goods with a £2.70 price tag, including four fifths of a shop bought coffee, one and a half loaves of bread, just under half a pack of toilet rolls and three quarters of a box of cereal*. Visitors to the store will be able to shop the experience and take away one item for FREE**.
The experience will launch to show the value of EV at home charging compared to the cost of fuel, as research reveals UK drivers spent an average of £48.30 on petrol the last time they filled up their tank, over 17 times the potential cost of recharging with the E.ON Next Drive tariff. The bright and bold concept store will feature interactive games and opportunities to learn more about EV home charging.
Jean Coleman, Director of Commercial at E.ON Next says: “Most of us don’t know just how good value home charging an EV can be. We’re launching the EVerything £2.70 store to bring to life the value of at home overnight charging and promote the financial benefits of making the switch to EV.”
The EVerything £2.70 store will be open to members of the public from 9am to 5pm on 14 and 15 May at 36 Eastcastle Street, W1W 8DP.

About E.ON Next Drive tariff
The £2.70 figure is calculated as home charging an electric vehicle with a 40kWh battery at 6.7p/kWh available between 12am and 7am using a 7kW charger on the E.ON Next Drive tariff. In ideal conditions, a 40kWh battery can fully charge in about 6 hours using a 7kW charger – but things like temperature, your car’s battery level and your home’s power supply can mean it might take a bit longer.
E.ON Next Drive tariff allows cars with a 40kWh battery to fully charge for just less than £2.70. This includes mostly smaller vehicles such as a Nissan Leaf, Hyundi Ioniq and BMW i3. Vehicles with a 60kWh battery are expected to pay just over £4 for a full charge and those larger vehicles with a 70kWh battery such as Tesla Model 3 or Mercedes Benz EQA, will pay £4.69.
