Unlike other retailers, Amber has only one “plan”. We give you direct access to the wholesale market for our $22/month subscription fee (the subscription fee is the only income we generate to run the business as we don't make profits on your energy usage). And we give you the tech to take advantage of wholesale prices and your own solar energy.
Energy in the wholesale market can get extra cheap during the day when renewable energy floods the grid, which means you can really drive your charging costs down by charging more at these times. In addition to helping you use more of your excess solar to charge your car (if you have solar), we believe this is a great way for you to save big on charging your car.
Other energy retailers pay the wholesale price for their power and then pass this through to customers with a retail mark-up. Often the offers they propose for EV owners look very appealing on one hand, and less appealing on the other, when you look at costs holistically. For example, if you have access to “free energy” during the day, you are likely to get charged a high price at all other hours. We recommend assessing these offers with this in mind.
