Intelligent Octopus Go now powers 150,000 EVs when it's greenest and cheapest 🤯 All those batteries charging together creates a monstrous 1GW virtual power plant of flexible energy - enough to power Birmingham and Leeds - to help balance the grid. It's the UK’s most popular EV tariff to charge easily, cheaply and greenly. It didn't happen overnight, but it has been super speedy. Read all about its insane growth into new technologies and territories: https://lnkd.in/eiV2hQE8

Haven’t had an accurate bill since I moved over to Octopus in March and the CS response is poor!! I’d like to know where the money has gone that you have taken each month??

As a reminder...the grid doesn't care if you add capacity or reduce demand....it just needs to be balanced and this is a great mechanism for making that happen. For comparison Sizewell B generates 1.25GW. This is so impressive - well done all involved at Octopus Energy

Incredible achievement, Octopus Energy! Powering 150,000 EVs with Intelligent Octopus Go is a remarkable milestone. Creating a 1GW virtual power plant through coordinated EV charging is a significant step toward balancing the grid and promoting sustainable energy use. It's impressive to see how quickly this has become the UK's most popular EV tariff, making green and affordable charging accessible to many. How do you plan to build on this success to further enhance the impact of Intelligent Octopus Go and expand its benefits to even more EV owners?

Got mine on charge tonight! Incredible technology (the car, the charge point AND the tariff/octopus app controlling it all), intelligent is the right word! Only 7.5p/kWh too. Would definitely recommend.

Swarm team this is the future that we are also part of building, isn’t it Dan Martin Anthony Piggott?

Such brilliant news Octopus Energy. As always, you’re doing a great job of helping the UK to decarbonise 👏
