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 electricity for any 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 ‘Chargers’. 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.

Once you’ve completed the integration, you’ll see a new tab appear in the Octopus Energy app called Devices. If you’ve integrated with your Ohme account, you’ll see this page has a button to open the Ohme app to control and schedule charging.

Remember all Smart charging will be billed at the off-peak rate even if it is outside the usual 11:30pm – 5:30am off-peak times.
