What is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology?
With V2G your car acts as a mobile battery. Soaking up power when there’s less demand for energy, and exporting it back to the grid, to power your home and others’, when there’s more demand (like when everyone puts the kettle on when they get home from work).
A typical V2G driver could save £620 compared to charging their car at home on a standard variable tariff.
Help usher in Britain’s green future
EVs aren’t just the greenest way to drive. They have huge potential to support a sustainable energy system by charging up when the wind blows. With Vehicle-to-Grid, they make even more of a difference: exporting power back at busy times, reducing the need for fossil fuels.
It’s incredible that we have more and more portable batteries on our driveways, and the possibilities are growing all the time. You can pull up a front-row seat in shaping the future of our grid with the Power Pack Bundle.
How the Octopus Power Pack tariff works
Automated charging, both ways
Octopus Power Pack schedules your V2G charging and exporting. Plug your car in and tell Octopus how much charge you need, and by when. The tariff will automatically schedule your car to charge when energy is greenest, and then export back to the grid when it needs help.
Works alongside your existing tariff
Power Pack is an add-on tariff that sits alongside your usual home energy tariff. You'll continue paying for your home energy use, but your EV charging will be free. It works with most Octopus Energy tariffs, but not Tracker, Agile (import or export), or Intelligent Octopus tariffs.
