Octopus Energy’s Electroverse skyrockets to one million public EV chargers

Octopus Energy’s electric vehicle (EV) charging platform, Electroverse, now connects drivers to over one million public EV chargers across the globe.

Electroverse’s ‘one card, one app’ model takes the stress out of charging, making it easy for drivers to power up without juggling multiple apps or accounts. 

With global EV sales topping 17 million in 2024 – over one in five new cars worldwide – the platform is helping accelerate the shift to cleaner transport.

This comes only a couple of months after the UK reached 100,000 public EV chargers, as the country races toward 300,000 public chargers by 2030.

Launched in 2020, Electroverse is already one of the largest consumer EV charging platforms in Europe – and with more than 500 chargers added each day, it continues to grow at record speed.

Drivers can tap and charge at eight out of 10 public EV charge points across Europe, spanning more than 1200 brands including industry giants like Ionity, Allego, Aral pulse, TotalEnergies, Mer, Fastned and Powerdot.

Available in 40 countries and 20 languages, the platform continues to expand, unlocking access to global charging for drivers in locations as far flung as South Korea, Thailand and the French island of La Réunion.

Drivers appreciate the platform’s user-friendly features – from its slick app and in-car tech to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a built in route planner, making charging on the go a breeze.

Electroverse is also leading the way in smart pricing. Its innovative ‘Plunge Pricing’ feature offers drivers up to 50% off charging costs when green energy is abundant, encouraging cleaner, smarter charging habits. 

The platform now also allows drivers to save up to 40% on public charging through the UK’s salary sacrifice scheme – making public charging even cheaper by deducting costs directly from employees' pre-tax salary.

Director Matt Davies said, When we created Electroverse, we wanted to strip the hassle out of EV charging. Over one million connected EV chargers later, we are making it easier than ever for drivers to power up wherever they are, serving one in two EV drivers in the UK.

‘As the UK and global network grows, so does driver confidence, and it is fantastic to help even more people make the switch to electric with ease.’
