Frequently asked questions
Is everyone eligible for Octopus Go Green?
Octopus Go Green is a smart tariff which means that you need to have a SMETS2 or Secure SMETS1 smart meter installed before you can join the tariff.
Don't have a smart meter? No problem! Join Octopus Energy on an interim tariff through this link, and we'll contact you to book a smart meter appointment once you've switched.
Most properties are suitable for a smart meter, as long as you have good mobile signal, and are not currently on a prepay meter. If you've already got a 3 phase electricity meter, you're in a rural location, or your electricity meter is in a communal cupboard, drop an email to hello@octopus.energy and we'll look into it for you.
If you're unable to get a smart meter you can still sign up for one of our other great value Octopus tariffs here.
Are other Octopus tariffs available?
Yes! You can switch to any one of our Octopus tariffs here and still receive your free miles.
How do I claim my free miles?
Simply sign up to Octopus Go Green, the tariff designed specifically for EV drivers, or any one of our other great value tariffs here.
Your free miles will be received in the form of £90 credit in your Octopus Energy account when you switch both fuel accounts to Octopus. The credit will be automatically added to your account once you're on supply and your first direct debit has been taken (usually around 10 days later).
How is the free mileage calculated?
For the SEAT Leon NF 5DR FR 1.4 e-HYBRID DSG-auto 204PS, at Octopus' Go Green tariff off-peak rate (12p/kWh), £90 credit is equivalent to up to 2,500 miles when the vehicle is driven purely on electric power. This is based on a usable battery capacity of 13 kWh and an electric driving range of 36 miles giving an efficiency average of 0.36 kWh/mile. Efficiency differs depending on multiple variables, such as driving conditions and vehicle configuration.
What if I'm already an Octopus customer?
Customers who joined us directly can still avail of this great offer. However, if you joined us via our Refer a Friend scheme or through one of our partners, and have already received a joining reward, unfortunately, you're not eligible for a free miles reward. If you're a gas and electricity customer, and haven't received a joining reward from us previously, you'll receive a £90 credit. If you're only with us for one fuel type, you'll receive £45 credit. Drop us an email at existingevoffer@octoenergy.com to take the offer.
I've purchased a SEAT electric vehicle and want to sign up to a standard tariff, am I still eligible?
You're still eligible for free miles if you switch your gas and electricity supply to one of our standard tariffs. If you decide to switch to one fuel type, you'll receive £45 credit. You can switch to any one of our Octopus tariffs here.
Don't take our word for it.
