Drive greener and cheaper with
SEAT and Octopus Energy
Congratulations on your new electric SEAT! To get you moving, SEAT and Octopus Energy are offering the equivalent of up to 2,500 free miles of 100% renewable electric fuel when you sign up to Intelligent Octopus, our next generation tariff for electric vehicle charging.
Why you'll love Intelligent Octopus
- Intelligent Octopus customers benefit from a longer off-peak window: 6 hours of guaranteed cheap, green energy every night between 11:30 - 5:30 for home and EV charging
- Intelligent Octopus pairs with your EV or charger to always smart charge on your super cheap rate
- Full charging control through our 5* rated app
- Award winning customer service provides a slick customer experience
To join Intelligent Octopus you'll need to have a SMETS2 or some types of SMETS1 smart meter installed to join the tariff.
If you don't have one, we can arrange to install a SMETS2 smart meter at no extra cost. These are suitable for most homes (with some exceptions).
Everything you need to know about smart meters with Octopus.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my order number?
Your order number will be on your SEAT order paperwork you received from your SEAT Centre when you ordered the vehicle.
Is everyone eligible for Intelligent Octopus?
As we're in Early Access, we can currently only bring on a narrow range of people. If you were not eligible for Intelligent Octopus, this may be because:
- You don't have an iPhone (iOS v14.0 or later) or Android (v7 or later)
- You have multiple Octopus Energy accounts
- You said that you have more than 1 car
- You are using a car or charger that we're not yet compatible with
- You don't have a smart meter
How much does Intelligent Octopus cost?
Intelligent Octopus is a smart time-of-use tariff with peak and off-peak pricing. Customers benefit from a low price night rate for their EV and home energy use of 7.5p/kWh between 11:30pm and 5:30am. Outside these hours your unit rate will vary by region.
Intelligent Octopus is a variable tariff, which means that the price you pay can rise and fall with the cost of wholesale energy. We'll always give you reasonable notice of any changes to the pricing of flexible tariffs.
To find Intelligent Octopus rates for your area, go to this page.
When we schedule your charging, you'll always benefit from the low 7.5p/kWh for both EV and home, even if we ask your car to charge outside of the standard night hours. If you need to charge more urgently you can trigger a Bump Charge, which is billed at your normal unit rate.
Are other Octopus tariffs available?
Yes! You can switch to any one of our Octopus tariffs here and still receive your £90 credit.
How do I claim my credit?
Simply sign up to Intelligent Octopus, the tariff designed specifically for EV drivers, or any one of our other great value tariffs here.
Your £90 credit will be added to your Octopus Energy account when you switch both fuels 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).
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 further joining 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.
