UK energy provider announces 6 months of free EV charging
Octopus Energy and Andersen EV have partnered to give drivers six months of free home EV charging.
Delivered through Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go tariff, the offer applies to anyone purchasing an Andersen charger from 1 March 2026.
The offer could save EV drivers around 4,370 miles of free driving during the six-month period – the equivalent to an estimated £221 in savings.
Octopus Energy’s smart EV tariff takes advantage of off-peak rates and renewable-led off-peak electricity.
The launch aligns with the March ‘26 registration plate change to support new EV owners setting up home charging for the first time.
The promotion covers Andersen EV’s full charger lineup, including Andersen A3, Andersen A2, and Andersen Quartz (compact model).
Richard Sephton, Head of EV Partnerships at Octopus Energy, said: "Andersen is accelerating the EV transition by bundling the cost-saving power of Intelligent Octopus Go into its charger range.
“By offering this as a bundled solution, EV drivers will unlock hundreds of pounds in annual savings that smart tariffs provide, delivering a premium charging experience that pays for itself."
The news follows a promotion by the government to increase EV charger grants from £350 to £500, covering almost of the cost of a typical installation.
Split your car repair cost over monthly repayments interest-free.
