What is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology?

V2G lets your EV play both sides of the power game - not just sipping electricity from the grid, but giving it back too. 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 £180 compared to charging their car at home on Intelligent Octopus Go.

Most of our import and export tariffs are compatible with Octopus Power Pack. However, given the behind the scenes complexity, some of our smart tariffs won’t be. If you’re on Agile or Tracker for import, on Agile Outgoing for export, or on any of our Intelligent Octopus tariffs, you’ll need to switch tariffs first before joining Octopus Power Pack.

12,000 miles but after that you’ll go onto IO go tariff and pay for any additional miles you need. You'll need to be able to plug in for roughly 12 hours a day every couple of days, and charge less than 333kWh per month (equivalent to 1,084 miles of driving).

The 12,000 miles is based using a maximum of 333kWh per month, and assumes an efficiency of 3kWh per mile.

You’ll go onto IO go tariff and pay for any additional miles you need.

Once you've signed up, you'll be able to set a minimum state-of-charge so that we’ll never go below this level (soon, you’ll be able to do this directly in our app). This level must be set at less than 30% so that we can still discharge from your vehicle to support the grid when it’s at its dirtiest.

At the moment, Power Pack Club is only available on the BYD Dolphin.

A typical V2G driver could save £880 per year compared to Flexible Octopus, and £180 compared to Intelligent Octopus Go.

You will receive a monthly bill as usual. It’ll include your entire electricity usage (including EV charging) charged at your home unit rate, and we will credit back the amount you paid for your EV charging, so that your EV charging is always free. We’ll calculate this based on the measurements from your EV charger.

If you have solar, we’ll also calculate how much you’ve exported from your solar panels and/or batteries, and credit this as usual, based on your export unit rates.
