Octopus Energy’s Electroverse connected to one million chargers

Octopus Energy’s electric vehicle (EV) charging platform, Electroverse, is now connected to over 1 million public EV chargers across the globe.

Launched in 2020, Electroverse allows drivers to tap and charge at 8 out of 10 public EV charge points across Europe, spanning more than 1,200 brands including industry giants like IONITY, Allego, Aral pulse, TotalEnergies, Mer, Fastned and Powerdot.

Available in 40 countries and 20 languages, the platform continues to expand, unlocking access to global charging for drivers in locations as far-flung as South Korea, Thailand and the French island of La Réunion.

Electroverse also offers an innovative ‘Plunge Pricing’ feature which offers drivers up to 50% off charging costs when green energy is abundant, encouraging cleaner, smarter charging habits. 

The platform now also allows drivers to save up to 40% on public charging through the UK’s salary sacrifice scheme – making public charging even cheaper by deducting costs directly from employees' pre-tax salary.

Lilian Greenwood, Minister for the Future of Roads at the Department for Transport, said: “We want drivers to have the confidence of always being close to a charge point, and it’s great to see British firm Octopus reach this significant milestone.
 
“We’re investing over £4 billion in support to help drivers switch to electric vehicles, and coupled with industry’s ongoing work, together we will help drivers locate and charge up with confidence as the charge point network continues to grow here in the UK and beyond.”

Matt Davies, Director of Electroverse, said: "When we created Electroverse, we wanted to strip the hassle out of EV charging. Over one million connected EV chargers later, we’re making it easier than ever for drivers to power up wherever they are, serving one in two EV drivers in the UK.

“As the UK and global network grows, so does driver confidence, and it’s fantastic to help even more people make the switch to electric with ease."
