Hi All,

My current fixed tariff is soon to come to an end so I’m looking at moving over to Octopus to join an EV specific tariff moving forward.

I’ve got a SEAT Leon PHEV and a Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger. Does anyone know if I’ll be able to use the Intelligent Octopus tariff?

I’ve questioned this with customer service as I don’t have a compatible car but do have a compatible charger, however I’ve not had a definitive answer. Do you need both a compatible car and charger for Intelligent Octopus, or would the Wallbox alone be enough regardless of car?

If anyone could advise from their own experience with the tariff that would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

I’m on intelligent, I’ve got a compatible car but not charger so as long as you have one you should be fine they only need to control one as far as I’m aware.

it works very well and regularly get extra cheap rate.
You always get the 23:30 to 5:30 cheap rate and if they set a charge schedule outside those hours you get them at the cheap rate too I’ve recently had over 8hrs of cheap rate in total.

Got the email from Octopus today that Ohme Home Pro became finally compatible charger so I can now switch:

We’re super excited to announce that Intelligent Octopus will now be available to use with Ohme Chargers. This means you can take advantage of Intelligent Octopus’ dynamic pricing tariff and get cheap energy whenever you need to charge!
