Octopus Electroverse hits half a million EV charge point milestone

Octopus Energy’s electric vehicle (EV) roaming service – Octopus Electroverse – now has access to half a million charge points globally. 

The ‘one card, one app’ service, launched in 2020, has grown rapidly, reporting more than 20% growth this year alone.

EV drivers can now access and pay at public charge points across 40 countries, providing access to more than 470 brands including Ionity, Osprey, Ubitricity, Shell Recharge, Connected Kerb and Source London. 

An interactive global map shows chargers and their live availability, a smart route-planner, and in-car support with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

UK drivers with Octopus Energy as their energy supplier enjoy the added benefit of having all their charges added onto their monthly energy bill when charging in those countries too.

Matt Davies, director of Octopus Electroverse, said: “Electroverse set out to revolutionise on-the-go charging and we’re doing just that.

“We’re delighted so many charging brands are flocking to join us and drivers are benefitting from a smoother charging experience.” 

He added: “It’s incredibly encouraging to see the pace that charge points are being rolled out. New locations are appearing faster than ever before, alongside record global investment in charging infrastructure.”
