Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, and with them comes the need for cost-effective home charging solutions. One of the best ways to reduce your EV charging costs is through a smart EV tariff. Intelligent Octopus Go is designed to help EV owners charge their vehicles at ultra-low rates while using greener energy.

By ensuring you have the right EV charging installation, you can maximise the benefits of the Octopus intelligent tariff. At Voltari, we provide expert EV charger install services, ensuring you get the best setup for smart charging at home.

What is Intelligent Octopus Go?

Intelligent Octopus Go is a smart EV tariff from Octopus Energy, offering customers intelligent Octopus rates for electric car charging at home by scheduling charging sessions when electricity demand is lower, allowing access to cheaper rates while prioritising energy from renewable sources like wind and solar.

This tariff allows eligible EV owners to charge at significantly lower prices compared to standard electricity rates. It operates via smart technology that selects the cheapest available times to charge your EV, ensuring you benefit from the lowest possible costs.

To use Intelligent Octopus Go, you need a compatible EV home charger. Voltari offers a range of EV chargers that work seamlessly with the tariff, including:

• Ohme Home Pro: A smart charger with a built-in screen and tethered cable.
• Ohme ePod: A compact, untethered option offering flexibility.
• Indra Smart PRO: Advanced functionality with solar integration.
• Hypervolt Home 3 Pro: A sleek, smart charger with app connectivity.
• Myenergi Zappi: Perfect for integrating with solar panels for greener charging.

Note: Compatibility is subject to change, so always verify the latest requirements before installation.
