Hello fellow EV drivers 👋
If you charge your car at home, you must check out what Octopus Energy is doing with their EV tariffs. As someone immersed in energy + EV cost structure, here’s what I found — and why switching might save you serious money.
What you get:
- Their smart EV tariff, Intelligent Octopus Go, gives you ~6 hours of ultra-cheap electricity (~7p/kWh) overnight, plus the system manages charging for you so you just set your “ready by” time.
- As an EV customer, you can join their EV Saver rate and knock off an extra ~1p on those off-peak rates.
- They also just launched Intelligent Drive Pack — for £30/month, your charging (within scheduled windows) is handled smartly and you know your cost in advance.
- Public charging is simplified—through Electroverse you get discounts and unified billing across many UK + European charge points.
- While your car is charging under EV tariff, the cheap rate often applies to your whole home load, meaning your laundry, appliances, etc., benefit too.
A few caveats to know:
- If you need to charge outside those scheduled cheap hours, you’ll pay the normal rate (unless covered by subscription).
- You need a smart meter and a charger or car that supports “intelligent” control.
- “Unlimited” in Drive Pack means within scheduled windows; it’s not a free pass 24/7.
