Octopus Energy’s electric vehicle (EV) charging platform has become one of Europe’s largest for consumers, as it reaches to nearly 850,000 connected chargers. 

Octopus Electroverse’s ‘one card, one app’ model, which aims to makes charging on-the-go easy, last year expanded its free-to-use app across Europe.

The platform is now integrated with 950 charge point brands, including InstaVolt, Osprey, IONITY, MFG, ChargePlace Scotland, as well as 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 giving access to around 80% of chargers on Europe’s public charging network. 

The Electroverse’s customer base has almost tripled (180%) over the last 12 months. 

In the UK, and soon in Europe, customers can also add their public charging costs onto their monthly bill with Octopus. 

Octopus Electroverse’s solution 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, said: 

“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 1 million mark and have become the largest consumer electric car charging platform in Europe – and we’re geared up to rapidly accelerate this worldwide.”
