Tariff compatibility

Which chargers work with which UK energy tariffs.

A 7p/kWh tariff only saves money if your charger can actually use it. Here's how every major UK home charger pairs with the most popular EV tariffs in 2026.

Native

Direct API integration — the tariff controls the charger automatically.

Works

Fully compatible. Set the off-peak window once in the app.

Manual

Works, but you'll manage the schedule yourself.

Not supported

Not compatible with this tariff.

Tariff by tariff

What each tariff needs from your charger.

Octopus Energy · Smart EV

Intelligent Octopus Go

7p/kWh
6 hours overnight (often extended)

Octopus takes control of your charger and finds the cheapest 6+ hours overnight. You get the 7p rate for the whole house during those slots, not just the car.

Full API integration — Octopus controls the schedule directly.

Native support via the myenergi app.

Not on the Intelligent API. Use Octopus Go (fixed window) instead.

Direct integration in the Hypervolt app.

No native API — use the standard Octopus Go window.

Supported via myWallbox + Octopus.
