Octopus Energy has launched its very own home EV charger – Octopus Charge – shaking up the electric car game with sleek design and super-smart charging.
The UK’s top heat pump manufacturer is adding this next-generation EV charger to its stable of home tech offerings, making driving electric simpler, smarter and greener than ever.
Plugged into the UK’s most popular EV tariff – Intelligent Octopus Go – Octopus Charge can power electric cars for as little as 2p per mile.
Combined with Octopus’ innovative Drive Pack tariff, customers can unlock unlimited charging for just £30 a month.
And for solar panel customers, Octopus Charge can power their EVs with any surplus solar electricity, turning free, home-grown electricity into miles on the road.
To kick things off with a bang, the first customers can get a whopping 5,000 miles of free driving* – enough to get from Land’s End to John o’ Groats and back again with miles to spare.
Octopus Charge links up seamlessly with the Octopus Energy app and its tech platform Kraken, charging automatically when electricity is at its cheapest and greenest. All customers have to do is set a charging time and amount, and the smart tech does the rest.
Octopus Charge isn’t just smart on the inside. With built-in 4G and a uniquely designed charging cable holster, it fits snugly in tight spaces – whether on the driveway, in the garage or on the street.
Octopus Charge launches with smart integration with Intelligent Octopus Go. Other smart tariff integration to follow.
Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Chief Product Officer at Octopus Energy, commented: “Charging at home is already better than queueing up at the petrol station – and now we’ve made it even simpler.
“Octopus Energy was the first energy company to launch a smart tariff, an EV tariff, an export tariff, and our very own heat pump. We’re delighted to add Octopus Charge to our stable, initially designed to work seamlessly with Intelligent Octopus Go, and with other features to follow shortly.”
Octopus Charge will initially be exclusively available for customers of Octopus’ EV leasing business, Octopus Electric Vehicles, before being launched to all Octopus Energy customers in August.
