Why Octopus suits EV drivers

For EV drivers the real prize isn't the £50 (lovely as it is) — it's Intelligent Octopus Go. It hands you a cheap overnight window that's among the lowest charging rates in the country, then does the clever bit for you: it talks to your car or charger, works out the cheapest hours, and schedules your charge automatically so you wake up topped up without setting a timer. If your car or charger isn't on the supported list, the simpler Octopus Go tariff still gives you a fixed cheap-rate window every night. Beyond charging, Octopus is the UK's largest electricity supplier, 100% renewable, a Which? Recommended Provider many years running with an Excellent Trustpilot rating, and its app and human support genuinely earn the praise — which matters when you're leaning on it for something as central as fuelling your car. The £50 referral credit simply stacks on top of those cheaper charging costs as pure bonus.

• Intelligent Octopus Go gives you some of the cheapest overnight charging rates in the UK, with smart scheduling that handles timing for you
• Charge from 100% renewable electricity — so your low-emission car is running on genuinely green power
• Switch tariffs for free anytime once you've joined, so you can start simple and move to a smart EV tariff when you're ready
• Use a referral link and £50 credit lands automatically about 4 weeks after your switch completes — no code to type, no claim to make

The tariff tip

Intelligent Octopus Go is the one to ask about: a cheap overnight rate plus smart charging that schedules around it automatically. If your specific EV or charger isn't supported yet, start on Octopus Go for a fixed cheap-rate window — and you can move between tariffs for free once you're a customer, so you're never locked in.
