How do I set up Intelligent Octopus Go?

Intelligent Octopus Go is Octopus Energy’s smartest EV tariff. You’ll get cheap electricity between 11.30pm and 5.30am, as well as super cheap additional slots for your Smart Charging when connected to your Ohme charger.

You can connect to the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff in a few different ways, such as your car or your charger but only with one device at a time.

If you have an Ohme charger, we would advise choosing this option. You connect your Ohme charger by logging into your Ohme account during the tariff setup.

If you want to connect your car instead, you’ll need to disconnect your Ohme account from the charger. This stops any mix-ups between Octopus Energy controlling your car’s charging and Ohme controlling the charger. You can do this by deleting your Ohme account.

Get started

To start the process of integrating your Ohme account with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, open the Octopus Energy app and tap the “Devices” tab at the bottom of the screen.

Then, tap “Add Device” to begin.

Select device

During the setup process in the Octopus Energy app you will be asked which device you would like to integrate with.

Here we can see the first three options: Battery, Electric Vehicle, and Heat pump. Select Electric Vehicle to continue.

Select your vehicle

After confirming that your charger is plugged in, you will need to select your vehicle make and model from the list of options provided.

Select your Ohme charger

Once you’ve selected your vehicle, you’ll then need to select “Ohme” from the list of charger brands.

Next, you can pick your charger model from the list. If you’re unsure of which model you have, you can check this via your Ohme App on the “My Charger” page.

Confirm your device

If you have a vehicle that could also be integrated with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, you may need to confirm which device you want Octopus to pair with.

We would advise selecting “Connect via my charger” – this will link your Ohme account to the tariff.

Sign in to your Ohme account

Once you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions of the tariff, you will be prompted to login to your Ohme account. You will need to select the login method used when creating the account the charger is currently paired to.

Set up complete

Finally, once you have confirmed the authentication between Ohme and Octopus, and completed a short test of the connection, the “Devices” section of your Ohme app will show your Ohme charger.

In the Ohme app, your tariff information will also update automatically to confirm the integration was successful.

And that’s it! Now you’ve successfully integrated your Ohme account with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, you can use the Ohme app to control and schedule your charging. Remember, smart charging can occur outside the usual 11:30pm – 5:30am off-peak times as Octopus and Ohme help you make use of additional cheap slots throughout the evening.
