Octopus Energy’s electric vehicle (EV) charging platform has become Europe’s largest for consumers, with nearly 850,000 connected chargers.
Octopus Electroverse’s ‘one card, one app’ model is designed to make charging on-the-go as easy as possible, and removes the need to download multiple apps to power up your car.
Following the disruption of the UK market, Octopus Electroverse last year expanded its pioneering free-to-use app across Europe, and the platform is now integrated with 950 charge point brands, including InstaVolt, Osprey, IONITY, MFG, ChargePlace Scotland, Aral pulse, TotalEnergies, Powerdot and Free To X.
European drivers can access these in 40 countries, with the app available in 20 languages, with ‘one tap access’ to around 80% of chargers in Europe’s public charging network.
The popularity of the platform and features has skyrocketed, with Electroverse’s customer base almost tripling (up 180%) over the last 12 months.
Features of the app include a map, route-planner and in-car support with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In the UK (and shortly to follow in Europe) there’s added simplicity as customers who are also with Octopus for their energy can add their public charging costs onto their monthly bill.
Octopus Electroverse’s platform is also available for businesses with fleets of EVs. This has paid-for added features, an online platform and customisable reporting functions to simplify businesses’ electric fleet operations.
Zoisa North-Bond of Octopus Electroverse says, “We created Electroverse with a clear mission: to make charging electric cars on-the-go as easy as possible. One card and one app – that’s all drivers need to access nearly 850,000 chargers.
“Our customers love the slick experience and features we’ve rolled out over the years – but we won’t stop here. We’re nearing the one million mark and have become the largest consumer electric car charging platform in Europe – and we’re geared up to rapidly accelerate this worldwide.”
This is the latest milestone as Octopus Energy Group speeds up the adoption of low carbon transport.
Drivers can sign up to Octopus Electroverse on the website, or via the app which can be downloaded on Apple and Android.
