Our best tariffs for electric cars

Charge your electric car at home for less

Save up to 70% of your EV charging costs by switching to one of our EV tariffs.

Our EV tariffs offer cheaper rates at night so you can do all your car charging at lower costs. Plus they're compatible with any electric car when charged with an Octopus EV charger.

We have two EV tariffs:

  • Octopus Go, the UK’s original EV tariff with 5 hours of cheap energy at night
  • Intelligent Octopus Go, the UK’s favourite EV tariff where we control your car charging (what we call ‘smart charging’) in exchange for a cheaper rate and an extra hour of cheap energy.

If you join any of our EV tariffs, you'll also get a discount to charge away from home with our Electroverse network.

What’s the best EV tariff for you?

The best EV tariff depends on your car, charger, and energy habits.

  1. What kind of car and charger do you have? Some tariffs, like Intelligent Octopus Go, offer smart charging that helps you save even more. Most brands are compatible - see if your EV is compatible here. Octopus Go is our standard EV tariff for all other models.
  2. Does the tariff offer off-peak savings on the whole house? Some providers limit the off-peak rate to just your car. Both of our electric car tariffs let you use off-peak rates for all the energy you use. This is a huge benefit for anyone able to run other energy intensive tasks during off-peak hours.
  3. How many off-peak hours do you get? With Intelligent Octopus Go you have access to one of the lowest prices - 7p per kWh between 11:30pm - 5:30am for the whole home, plus it smart-charges your car at the cheapest and greenest times overnight. Occasionally we'll smart charge your car outside of the off-peak window but don't worry, all smart charging is billed at the off-peak rate.

    Your costs and savings will vary on how many miles you drive a day and your cars fuel efficiency. The average car will pay just 3p per mile with Octopus Go and potentially even less with Intelligent Octopus Go.
