App summary

Ready for better EV charging?

This is Octopus Electroverse. Europe’s largest EV charging network.
It will change how you charge on the go.

——

Access over 850,000 global chargers with the all-powerful and award-winning Electroverse app and Electrocard. The Electrocard (RFID) is free to order & you can do this through the Electroverse app whenever you like.

‘But I’m not an Octopus customer!’ we hear you cry - well, good news! You don’t need to be with Octopus Energy to use Electroverse - it’s open to all!

What’s more, paywalls and hidden fees aren’t our thing - we’re more ‘discounts and inclusivity’. So, once you’ve signed up, you’ll have access to every feature immediately.

You’ll also only ever get clear and transparent pricing from us. We never mark up charging rates, passing through the rate we receive from the relevant network. This also means we’re able to wrangle some discounted deals - and you can wave goodbye to pre-authorisation fees, as we absorb those too.

Sound good? Then we’ll see you in the Electroverse soon.

Google pixel 8a, android 15. There was a glitch over the last few days that caused some issues with setting up a new account through the octopus energy app that has now been fixed.

Didn't work for me , Even used the RFI card but had to use my banking app to pay , app sat nav didn't work had to switch to Google maps , all a bit underwhelming.

Ok one more star for fixing the route planner in the app. Still very confused why the route planner is not available in apple car play, nor is the built in navigation? I can remember both these things working last summer in a Fiat 500e with Android Auto. Should both electroverse navigation and route planning work inside of car play / android auto?
