My Top Pick Deals
I get many of you want me to tell you which deal to go on but honestly it really is important you see each video and make sure the deal fits you perfectly HOWEVER if you want to know the cheapest deals for cost per kwh it goes as following, AGILE followed by Intelligent Go Octopus then Octopus Go. Of course, as your see when you watch the videos below the first one comes with some down points and intelligent isn’t open to everyone.
As an Octopus energy customer and user, I’m happy to recommend them as a provider for electric and gas at home & business.
Octopus has 4 special deals for Electric car customers and 1 special deal for Heat Pump customers and a special deal for customers who have solar and battery storage all the deals are listed below.
Octopus GO

Octopus Flux (Solar Battery)

It could also benefit you if you have a lot of battery storage with no solar and are able to charge during cheap rates and export during the peaks to make yourself a little profit the rates below are for my area and can differ slightly from regions.

Octopus Energy Intelligent Vs Ovo Drive Anytime
Hey, look you can see from above and this website I love Octopus Energy but you need to be aware of Ovo Drive Anytime as it could SAVE YOU MONEY the entire point of my website and my YouTube channel is to try to make sure you the audience get the best information I can provide and save some money in doing so. Intelligent and Ovo drive anytime have something in common and that’s not everyone can get them. You will need a charger or a compatible car. My preference as explained in the video below is intelligent if you can get it, as should be cheaper for pretty much everyone however if you can’t get intelligent then Ovo Drive Anytime does have some different cars and chargers and that SHOULD be cheaper for SOME people than octopus go. It’s worth running the calculations yourself as if you have battery storage and solar it gets tricky!
