An energy company is giving out discounts of over £1000 a year for customers who hit a certain criteria. Octopus is dishing out “exclusive discounted EV charging rates” for Electric Vehicle customers, just in time for summer.
The ‘Intelligent Octopus Go – EV Saver’ tariff is tempting Octopus EV drivers with a 6p per kWh off-peak rate.
Motorists could be pocketing savings of over £1,000 annually on fuel costs compared to their petrol-guzzling counterparts, and those hitting the road for a holiday can zip from London to Cornwall for less than a fiver. The ‘Intelligent Octopus Go – EV Saver’, offered by sibling firm Octopus Energy, hooks customers up with a bargain off-peak rate.
This new plan is a wallet-friendly version of Blighty’s top EV tariff – ‘Intelligent Octopus Go’, boasting over 160,000 users and managing a whopping 1GW of shift-able electricity, making it the UK’s biggest virtual power plant, reports BirminghamLive.

Fiona Howarth, CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles, said: “Too often we only focus on the sticker price of an electric car, and forget the huge ‘fuel’ savings to be made [when on the right tariff]. What’s more, outright prices of new models entering the market are coming down, with consumer choice ramping up.”
She added, “With school holidays upon us, and many of us making some of the longer trips we’ll take this year, our drivers can get away knowing they’ve got the best value tariff around.”, reports Birmingham Live.
