What’s the Difference Between Intelligent EV, Intelligent Octopus Go, and Intelligent Octopus Go – EV Saver?

At Octopus, we want everything to be ‘Intelligent’ – by which we mean smart, simple, and adaptable. That’s why we use the word a lot to describe our products.

Here’s what each ‘Intelligent’ product does, and how they work together to make things cheaper and more convenient for Octopus EV drivers.

Intelligent EV is our personal leasing scheme. Here’s how it works:

1. You choose from our expert-picked selection of new and used EVs.
2. You choose how long you’d like to keep the car for, and the mileage you need each year.
3. After sorting out the paperwork and making an initial payment, you pay a fixed monthly amount to drive the car.

After your lease is up, you hand the car back to us and, if you like, take out a new lease on another car. This means that you get all the fun of driving the latest EVs, without the hassle of owning your car outright.

Intelligent EV is about more than just the car.. You also get:

• Exclusive EV tariffs that save you money - automatically charge your car when energy is cheapest and greenest, and save on off-peak rates.
• Discounts on public charging - Intelligent EV drivers get 10% off public driving via our Electroverse app.
• Servicing and maintenance - we’ll keep your car in top shape with servicing and maintenance included.
• Extra Octopus perks - save £500 on heat pumps and solar panels to further reduce your energy bills.

Intelligent Octopus Go is a smart energy tariff provided by our sister company Octopus Energy.

The tariff provides affordable, clean energy to power your car and your home, and is designed specifically for any EV driver – you can save hundreds of pounds per year on your energy bills compared to a standard tariff.

You don’t have to be an Octopus EV customer to take advantage of Intelligent Octopus Go. All you need is a smart meter, a compatible car or charger, and the Octopus app installed on your tablet or smartphone.

Intelligent Octopus Go offers:

• Six hours of cheap electricity every night, between 11.30 and 05.30.
• Automatic EV charging when energy is cheapest – you don’t even have to remember to press the ‘on’ button

How it works: Simply connect your EV or charger, use the app to input your charging needs, and Intelligent Octopus Go will do the rest for you - automatically scheduling your charge for when energy is cheapest and greenest.

Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Saver is a discount on the standard Intelligent Octopus Go tariff for Intelligent EV customers. It’s our way of saying a little ‘thank you’ for having a car with us.

The EV Saver tariff gives you an extra 1p on off-peak rates, meaning that you can charge your car for even less. The maths works out at around 3p per mile, if you’re charging during off-peak hours.

Intelligent EV is designed to work with Intelligent Octopus Go (and the EV Saver discounted tariff) to create the easiest, smartest, and greenest way of getting an EV.

It’s about more than just the car. It’s the convenience of everything coming together to make EV ownership easy, accessible, and affordable.

So, to recap:

• You lease your car through Intelligent EV
• You charge your car and power your home with Intelligent Octopus Go
• You get extra savings with Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Saver
