Meet the team behind our latest innovation: The Electric Juice Network

Electric Juice Network (EJN) is our latest innovation- we are partnering with as many charge point operators as possible to provide you with an easy way to pay for all your electric vehicle charging on the go. What’s more, we are developed a game changing app that shows you the closest charge points to you, plus loads of other info like charging speeds, socket types available and price per kWh. If you are an Octopus Energy customer, you can also pay via your energy account. With over 14 charging partners already signed up and many more on their way to join let’s meet some of the people who are making EJN a reality.
