It’s win-win: for your wallet and the planet.



Intelligent Octopus


Your EV or Home Battery probably came with a charge timer or an app, how does Intelligent Octopus do it better?


Intelligent Octopus goes beyond a standard charge timer or app, providing a fully integrated experience with your EV or Smart Charger. You tell us your charging preferences and we create an optimised charging schedule to deliver the charge you need factoring in your charger’s speed and wholesale energy prices.

A basic charge timer switches on and off at the time you set. Smarter charges can be programmed to take advantage of lower prices at night, but that’s the limit.

Intelligent Octopus does it better.
