## What is Octopus Electroverse?

Ready for better EV charging?

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

—

Access over 1,000,000 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. 

One app. One card. One place for your charging needs.
This is public EV charging made simple.

‘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, directly passing through the rate we receive from the relevant network. This also means we’re able to wrangle some discounted deals, so you can start saving on your favourite charging networks.

We’ll see you in the Electroverse soon.

App features include:

- Plunge Pricing discounts = On top of our standard discounts, we’ve rolled out Plunge Pricing: discounts when energy prices drop. Green energy = greener discounts.
- Electroverse map toggle = Switches map visibility between all chargers and those compatible with Electroverse. This means you have all the information when selecting a charger.
- Map filters = Search and find charging stations via charging speeds, socket types and preferred networks.
- Detailed Charger Information = Shows live charger availability, a renewable energy icon to help you charge with 100% green energy, and important location details (such as charging costs and other parking restrictions).
- In-app charging = Charge your vehicle via the app! Simply plug in and tap 'start charge' on your phone.
- Route planner = Energise your drive with plotted charging stops along any route! Makes driving long distances a piece of cake.

### 4/5 — One suggestion

*2026-08-15*

Would be useful to be able to click on “Activity” tab > click on a past charging session > click on the map pic at the bottom of the screen so that the app then switches to the map tab and directly takes us to the charging location used on the map tab. At the moment, that little map pic isn’t that useful and if one wants to look back at the features of the charging station used, you have to manually enter the details of the station in the map tab again. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Chatfunktion bei Problemen

*2026-08-12*

ich war mir etwas unsicher hinsichtlich des genauen Preises, da in der App immer von einem effektiven Kilowattstundenpreis die Rede war. Der Preis auf der Ladesäule, in dem Fall eine Ladesäule von Eviny, war ein etwas höherer Preis (0,67 Euro pro kwh) als der, der mir als effektiver Preis genannt wurde (0,55 Euro pro kwh), in der App. Callie aus dem Livechat konnte alle meine Bedenken und Fragen ausräumen und beantworten. Die Performance der Ladesäule selber war auch sehr stark und ermöglichte meinem Auto eine sehr hohe und gleichmäßige Ladekurve. Die Bedienung der App selber war intuitiv. Ein kleines Manko: ich kann bis jetzt (anderthalb Stunden nach dem Ladevorgang) immer noch nicht sehen, zu welchem Preis und wie viele Kilowattstunden ich überhaupt geladen hatte. Das finde ich schon nicht so angenehm, scheint aber nicht mit der App zu tun zu haben, sondern mit dem Anbieter Eviny.

### 5/5 — Meilleure carte de recharge

*2026-08-10*

Compatible partout y compris à l’étranger, les meilleurs prix. Bravo !

### 5/5 — Great for use in Portugal and Spain

*2026-08-05*

Portugal’s network lacks a lot of credit card payment systems and many need a card. This app was a life saver to charge there.

### 4/5 — European roaming holiday

*2026-07-28*

Have been using the Electroverse card right through UK, France Belgium, Germany.  Out of more than a dozen stops and charges,the RFID card is accepted everywhere my only observation complaint is be very careful in Germany in particular the electricity provider chargers at main station, they cut connect, stop charging and then charge a high per minute standing time…. DEW21 chargers, scam. (Disputing and will charge back) 
Same they have put a damper on a very easy, very reliable Electroverse setup. 
TIP: McDonalds and Lidl can be high KWH chargers and cheap, Ultras at service stations may seem high price but not compared to UK and fast top up by the time a quick pit stop and coffee purchase. 
Most charges whilst having meals or breaks, no inconvenience. 
Great service Octopus, great app

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted Electroverse has helped make charging across the UK and Europe easy and reliable. We really appreciate you sharing your tips with other EV drivers too. Wishing you many more smooth road trips and happy charging!

### 4/5 — Missing two killer features

*2026-07-27*

I love the app, but it would be great to be able to see a map view of ALL available chargers on my route. The route planner makes too many choices for you - if you only need a single charge along the way, then it will choose for you (great, sometimes) but what if I have my own preferences? Let me choose which charger I want to use directly from the map once I have entered my route! I tried a workaround by adding favourites, but you can’t view favourites on a map either. You only see a list of site names which are not always descriptive, unless you remember the random road name where the charger is located. Perhaps allow favourites to be edited with our own descriptions for each location at least?

Thanks!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful feedback—and we're so glad you're enjoying the app!  We really appreciate your suggestions around route planning, map visibility, and favourites. Please share your ideas with our team on our feedback board: https://electroverse.upvotyfeedback.com/. We'd love to hear them as they help shape future improvements!

### 1/5 — Can’t scroll

*2026-07-24, version 2026.06.30*

On my iPad when I tap a charger on the map it opens a popup with further details. That popup is meant to scroll but when you scroll it just jumps back to the top meaning you can’t view details that are beyond the visible area.

### 5/5 — First Class

*2026-07-21, version 2026.06.30*

Great service

### 5/5 — Glasgow to Leicestershire

*2026-07-18, version 2026.06.30*

One Stop both ways. App worked seamlessly. No hiccups other than mfg had to go a detour of twenty miles to charge on return. Still worth the effort.

### 5/5 — Great app - still things can get better

*2026-07-18, version 2026.06.30*

Love the app and it is absolutely the best out there. 
There are a couple of things that can continue to improve, like prices appearing on CarPlay and being able to filter by price.
