Wow wow wow Steve and Sam came to me home in B36 today. The install was quick and very very slick. Workmanship installing my new EV home charger was second to none. I chose Octopus because I wanted a high quality service, my expectation was smashed. If Carlsberg did EV hone charges it would be Octopus. It’s not about price it’s about quality. Great job guys thank you for the professional and friendly service.

Excellent service in supplying and fitting an Ohme EV charger. Easily ordered through App and fitted six days later. Gary H arrived promptly and made a beautiful job of the fitting - good advice and installation. Couldn’t recommend him or the service highly enough. Thank you.

We've been with [Octopus] for nearly 1yr, and it's been 100% trouble free (compared to the hell of being a *** customer!). Octopus have also installed our Ohme car charger and we get cheap EV energy along with great OctoPlus perks. Customer Service is EXEPTIONAL, by email and phone, if you have a query, and they're friendly and sincere too. Keep up the great work Octopus!

Frequently asked questions
If your question isn't answered here, check out our full FAQ page for more.
What do you mean by 'tethered' and 'untethered' cables?
'Tethered' means there is a cable permanently attached to the charging box at one end.
'Untethered' means that a cable plugs into your car at one end and the box at the other. So you’ll be able to source your own cable to charge your EV. For example, the one that was delivered with your EV.
What size cable do I need for an EV charger?
Your cable will need to be long enough to comfortably reach your EV from your chargepoint. Depending on the brand you chose, the cables of our tethered EV chargers are between 5 and 8 metres long. Generally, this is enough for most houses where the box is on the outside of the house and the car is parked on a driveway.
How much does an installation cost?
Our charger installations start from £899 for an Ohme ePod charger including Standard installation, up to £1,150 for a Hypervolt Home 3 Pro. Check out all charger costs here.
If there is more than 10m of distance between your electricity meter and the EV charger, your installation will cost slightly more. This additional cost will show as an installation cost on your quote, as £99 for a Standard Plus installation, or £189 for an Enhanced installation - check the FAQ below to find out if this will apply to your installation.
We'll be able to let you know what package you require once you complete the application form.
If you require a more complex installation for a reason aside from the length of cable required, we may boost you to a Standard Plus or Enhanced installation. We'll be able to let you know after your remote survey if this is the case.
If you require a separate post for your EV this may be an additional charge.
What does a 'standard installation' involve?
A standard installation is included in the price of your charger. But if the installation is more complex and our engineers will need to spend more time at your home, it’ll cost a bit more.
Our EV chargepoint installations are grouped into three categories. See the table below for what's included in each installation package:
What if I don't have private parking?
We can only install a charger if you have private parking (like in a driveway or garage, with no public lands between your house and the charger). If the cable will need to cross public lands, we recommend that you look at a solution like Kerbo Charge.
Our claims explained
Save 87% vs public charging when you power up at home
A slow or fast charge (<50 kWh) with one of the UK’s public charging points costs an EV driver 52p/kWh on average (last checked 25th June). With Intelligent Octopus Go, you smart charge for only 7p/kWh and save 87%.
1 - 7/52 = 0.87 or 87%
You’ll save about 70% smart charging with Intelligent Octopus Go compared to a standard tariff
With Intelligent Octopus Go you can smart charge for only 7p/kWh. The average rate of a standard variable tariff, based on the July 2025 Ofgem energy price cap, is 25.73p/kWh.
1- 7/25.73 = 0.73 or 73%
The UK's most trusted energy supplier

Save £850 a year on your fuel costs with an EV

Annual cost to fuel a petrol car = A*D/100
A - 7,000 average annual mileage (government data)
B - 0.306 kWh/mile average electric car efficiency (EV database)

D - 14.3p average cost per mile for a petrol car (government stats)
