"Octopus Energy has designed and built its own EV charger and is backing it with a three-year warranty. There's a £999 (about $1,300) tethered option with a 5-meter cable or an £899 (around $1,200) untethered version you can use with any cable you want. Those prices are largely in line with other EV chargers once you factor in install costs, but the Octopus Charge will be tempting for Octopus customers as it's installed and supported entirely by Octopus."
"Wholesale rates for electricity in the UK have soared in recent years, and Octopus offers variable pricing every 30 minutes on its Octopus Agile tariff or the Intelligent Octopus Go option that lets EV owners charge for 6 hours of cheap energy every night at 7p per kWh - that's 9 cents per kWh. I've been using Octopus to get free electricity for a couple of years now."
Octopus Energy is launching an EV charger called Octopus Charge that pairs with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff to enable cheap overnight charging. The company designed and built the charger and offers a three-year warranty. Pricing is £999 for a tethered model with a 5-meter cable and £899 for an untethered version compatible with any cable; prices align with other chargers once installation is included. Octopus installs and supports the device for its customers. Intelligent Octopus Go provides six hours of charging nightly at 7p per kWh. The charger remains compatible with other UK energy suppliers and supports Plug and Charge or OCPP control where available.
