Octopus partners with Stellantis

Stellantis has announced a new partnership with Octopus Energy to improve electric vehicle charging experience for customers across the UK.

While the Octopus partnership is already available to Vauxhall customers, it has now been expanded to include Stellantis companies Citroën, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep and Peugeot brands, with access to a range of benefits for electric car and van drivers.

Through Octopus Energy, drivers gain access to more than 330,000 public charge points across the UK and Europe, made easy through one single payment card and app, as well as access to new smart energy tariffs.

The new partnership with Octopus Energy also allows customers to opt for the installation of an Ohme wallbox charger for their homes that is linked to the flexible charging tariff, Intelligent Octopus. This is designed to provide drivers with access to an energy tariff that suits their driving habits. The Octopus Intelligent tariff provides electricity from entirely renewable sources. Since electricity is cheaper when demand is lower and/or intermittent renewables supply is high, the Intelligent Octopus system offers customers cheaper rates for particular times, with a guaranteed lower rate per KWh during the off-peak period between 11:30 pm and 5:30 am.

Thanks to the partnerships Octopus has forged with other network operators, drivers have access to public charging networks in the UK and across Europe with the Electrocard, which includes networks from Mer, Ionity, Shell Recharge, Osprey, Fastned and Ubitricity.
