What’s Intelligent Octopus Go?
Intelligent Octopus Go is a smart energy tariff, provided by Octopus Energy, that gives you six hours of cheaper, greener energy during off-peak hours (from 11:30 pm to 5:30 am). It pairs with your home charger and smart meter - meaning you can charge your EV overnight when energy is at its cheapest and greenest.
And as an Octopus EV driver, you also get our exclusive EV Saver rate, saving an extra 1p per kWh.
