To be eligible for the Power Pack Bundle with BYD, Octopus Energy and Octopus EV you will need:

• Off street parking and ability to charge your EV at home
• To be over the age of 18 and have a full driving licence
• No plans to move home in the next 6 months
• To be a customer of Octopus Energy, (or be willing to become one!)
• A working half-hourly smart meter
• To want to lease (rather than own) an electric vehicle
• To drive less than 12,000 miles a year
• Single phase power at your property (rather than three-phase)
• A schedule that fits. You'll need to be able to plug in for 12 hours a day for 20 days per month. We're not fussed if you occasionally miss these targets, but if it's a regular occurrence you may need to hop off the Power Pack tariff. You can see the full T&Cs of the tariff here.

This product also requires you to have a G99 license (permission from your Distribution Network Operator to export power to the grid). The process for obtaining this permission can take up to 12 weeks and results in a license to export an amount of energy to the grid. Not all customers will be successful, based on local grid stability or capacity, or the safety of your home system. In these cases you will not be able to take a V2G enabled BYD Dolphin but our EV specialists will be able to guide you through your options and find a suitable car for you, should you still want to lease a non-V2G electric vehicle through Octopus EV.

Please note:

• Insurance is not included and has to be obtained by the driver, this must be fully comprehensive insurance in line with our consumer personal contract hire (PCH) requirements
• There is an upfront payment equivalent to 1, 3, 6, 9, or 12 times the monthly price of the lease. When you customise your quote you can choose what makes most sense for you. If you choose 1 month you will pay 1x monthly lease cost upfront. If you choose 12 this will be 12x the monthly lease cost
• At the moment this product will only be available for people who do not already export to the grid (e.g. from solar or battery)
• Free charging is available for up to your contracted lease mileage, up to 12,000 miles
• Close Brothers, as underwriter, will credit assess each customer and they must meet the credit and affordability assessment in order to be eligible for the product.
