by

Electric mobility is advancing at great speed, and more and more users are looking for ways to charge their vehicle in a cheaper, smarter and more sustainable way. Along this journey, the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff from Octopus Energy has become one of the most attractive options on the market.

If you own a Trydan or Trydan Pro, this tariff can help you significantly reduce your charging costs. In this article, we explain what it offers, how it works and how to make the most of it with your V2C charger.

What is the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff?

Intelligent Octopus Go is an electricity tariff designed specifically for electric vehicle users and is fully compatible with a separate home electricity tariff. Its aim is to make charging more affordable by taking advantage of the hours when energy is cheaper and greener.

Its main advantage is simple but very powerful:

Charge your car at just 7p/kWh

Within the intelligent charging window scheduled by Octopus, your vehicle will always be charged at 7p/kWh without you needing to worry about setting schedules. You simply specify:

  1. The time you want your car to be ready
  2. The level of charge you need

Octopus takes care of the rest.

This allows you to:

  • Save on every charge, even more than with traditional off-peak tariffs
  • Make use of renewable energy surpluses, as the tariff is optimised to maximise the use of green energy

Is Intelligent Octopus Go compatible with Trydan and Trydan Pro?

Yes. Both Trydan and Trydan Pro are fully compatible with this tariff.

In addition, the integration between Octopus and Trydan offers a seamless experience because it:

  • Allows Octopus to control intelligent scheduling directly on your charger
  • Maintains the flexibility to set your preferences from the Octopus app
  • Ensures charging at the special price of 7p/kWh within the intelligent window

Thanks to their advanced connectivity (Wi-Fi and OCPP), Trydan and Trydan Pro synchronise with the Octopus platform to manage charging completely automatically.
