Pair your Indra smart charger with a smart EV tariff and you could cut your charging costs by up to 70% compared to the standard price cap.
For the average UK driver (around 7,000 miles a year), that’s an extra £260.86 left in your pocket every year.1
Not every charger works with Smart EV tariffs like Intelligent Octopus Go or OVO Charge Anytime—but Indra chargers do. In fact, they’re designed to integrate seamlessly with these and thousands of other energy plans, so you’ll always get the best value from your home charging.
I'm glad you asked!
Smart EV tariffs like Intelligent Octopus Go and OVO Charge Anytime give you some of the lowest electricity rates in the UK. By letting your energy supplier decide the best times to charge your car, you can take advantage of cheaper, greener power that would otherwise go to waste.
That means:
Put simply, you’ll spend less on charging and more on enjoying the drive.
It’s simple. You plug your car in at home and tell the app what time you need it ready—say, 7am before the school run. The energy company then automatically schedules your charging for the cheapest, greenest times overnight.
You’re always in control of when your car is ready, but you don’t have to worry about the details. Just set it, forget it, and let your tariff do the hard work of saving you money.
If you’d like to explore switching to a smart EV tariff, we’ve put together a series of how-to guides to get you started. Find out more about Octopus Intelligent Go or explore OVO Charge Anytime to see how to hook up the tariff with an Indra charger.
How we calculated the savings:
1Considering energy prices on 31st October 2025, an owner of a Kia Niro 2 EV powertrain driving a UK average of 7,000 miles per year could save £260.86 a year by switching from a standard EV tariff to Intelligent Octopus Go or OVO’s Charge Anytime tariff. Our savings assume that all EV charging is done at home and on a smart EV tariff at the flat unit rate. Calculation assumes a Birmingham postcode.
