Electroverse: seamless, stress-free EV charging in one simple card and app with over 1 million charge points worldwide

Intelligent Octopus Go has always offered super-cheap power for your whole home every night and smart charging to let you charge cleaner for less.

To keep our off-peak rates as low as possible, in 2026 we will be updating Intelligent Octopus Go to automatically apply the 6 hour limit for super-cheap smart-charging.

Around 80% of Intelligent Octopus Go charging sessions are already using less than the 6 hours mentioned in our terms – which is good, because scheduling more inevitably drives up the cost as we're charging when wholesale costs and grid stress are higher.

From day one, we've been on a mission to make energy fairer, greener and cheaper – and since then, we’ve stayed committed to keeping prices low. But we’re more than just a ‘great energy deal'. Our value is backed by our values. Have a read of what makes the Octopus experience one-of-a-kind.

Do heat pumps work in cold weather? To find out, we cranked a chamber down to –20 °C and tossed in our own Cosy air-source heat pump (and, for science, our social media manager). Spoiler: only one of them kept running at peak efficiency. Watch as we put our heat pump winter performance to the ultimate freeze-test!

We're upgrading old SMETS1 smart meters to the newer SMETS2 models.
