Save up to 85% vs public charging when you power up at home with Intelligent Octopus Go.
A slow or fast charge (<50 kWh) with one of the UK’s public charging points costs an EV driver 54p/kWh on average (last checked June 2026). With Intelligent Octopus Go, you smart charge from only 7.6p/kWh and could save 85%.
1 - 7.6/54 = 0.85 or 85%
Charge for up to 70% less than average price cap rates.
With Intelligent Octopus Go, you can smart charge eligible cars from only 7.6p/kWh. The average electricity unit rate of a standard variable tariff, based on the October 2026 Ofgem energy price cap for customers paying by direct debit, is 26.32p/kWh. This represents a saving of 71% compared to the average price cap unit rate (1- 7.6/26.32 = 0.71 or 71%).
Please note that savings apply to unit rates only and exclude standing charges. Standard variable rates vary by region, so your actual percentage saving may vary depending on where you live. Check the price cap for your region here.
The UK's most popular EV tariff
In their latest State of the market report, Ofgem shared that 653k domestic customers were on a Smart Time of Use EV tariff in July 2025. More than half were with Octopus, and the majority of them charged with Intelligent Octopus Go.
Last year, our customers typically saved £771 compared to our standard tariff
Over the last year (May 2025 to April 2026), customers on our fixed Intelligent Octopus Go tariff typically saved £771 compared to our standard variable tariff, Flexible Octopus. Calculations are based on comparing actual half-hourly consumption and costs on Intelligent Octopus Go against the costs the customer would have incurred for that same consumption on our Flexible Octopus tariff.
Savings for individual homes vary based on how much electricity you use for your house and EV, and how much you shift towards off-peak hours. Get a quote to compare your rates.
