I have a SMETS1 meter installed by EDF for a pilot scheme back before smart meters became commonplace and left in place when the pilot ended. No IHD.

I checked the meter on the Citizens Advice page and they say it can't be used as a smart meter. Thing is, e-on are putting readings from it on my bills, which makes me think the CA page is perhaps unreliable.

I want to swap to an EV tariff, but am struggling to find out whether this meter would support it. Anybody know the answer?

If the meter doesn't support it, will e-on replace it if I swap to their Drive tariff? Would that be FOC? How long would I have to wait before i could use the new tariff? Would the new tariff 12 months start from when the new meter was up and running?

TIA
