Get rollin' with your new EV charger

Smart Charging is when we use technology like Krakenflex to find the cheapest and greenest times to charge your car within a timeframe. A bump charge temporarily turns off smart charging to charge your car immediately and consistently.

When energy is cheapest and greenest. Smart tariffs like Intelligent Octopus Go are a great option to benefit from lower overnight rates.

Charge up while you sleep with one of our cutting-edge EV tariffs, with 100% green electricity and no exit fees.

Supercheap overnight charging rates and smart home integration help you charge when energy is cheapest and greenest.
