Switching to an Octopus Intelligent Go tariff can be one of the smartest moves for EV owners looking to cut charging costs. But here’s the catch—not all EV chargers (or vehicles) work with the tariff.
At Evergy, we supply a range of smart EV chargers that are fully compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go—and we install them too! No frustratingly long wait times, just a quick, hassle-free setup so you can start saving ASAP.
So, if you're wondering which EV chargers work with Octopus Intelligent Go, how the tariff operates, and whether your vehicle is compatible, you’re in the right place. Let’s break it down.
🔌 What is Octopus Intelligent Go?
Octopus Intelligent Go is a smart, vehicle-integrated EV tariff that automatically schedules charging to take place during the cheapest and greenest energy periods. Unlike standard time-of-use tariffs, this one dynamically adjusts based on real-time grid demand, giving you the best possible rates—often as low as 7p per kWh.
⚡ How does it work?
- Connect your EV (or compatible smart charger) to the Octopus app.
- Set how much charge you need and when you want your car ready.
- Octopus schedules your charging during the cheapest energy periods (typically 11:30 pm – 5:30 am).
- You save up to 70% compared to regular electricity rates.
💡 Pro Tip: Some users even get paid to charge when there’s excess renewable energy on the grid!
