The Smart Way to Make it Work
Most people think you’ll charge your electric car directly from your solar panels. In reality, that’s only practical for plug-in hybrids or if you’re home during the day.
Daytime
Your solar panels power your home and charge your battery. Any excess energy is sold back to the grid—Octopus Outgoing currently pays around 15p per kWh for exported electricity.
Night-time
You use an EV tariff like Octopus Go or Intelligent Go, which offers cheap night rates (as low as 7.5p–9p per kWh). This means you can charge your EV overnight at a fraction of the standard rate.
Result
You get the best of both worlds—maximum savings on your bills, and your car is always ready to go in the morning.

Why this combo makes sense
Maximise Solar Value:
Sell your excess daytime electricity at a premium, rather than using it for car charging when rates are low at night.
​​
Super Cheap Motoring:
Charge your EV overnight for a fraction of the cost—much cheaper than petrol or standard electricity rates.
​
Smart Charging:
Our Givenergy EV charger integrates with your solar and battery, so you can manage everything from one app and never waste a unit of energy.
​
Flexible for All Lifestyles:
Perfect whether you have a full EV or a plug-in hybrid—charge smart, not just “green.”
​
Future-Proof:
As tariffs and battery tech improve, your system will always be ready for the best deals.

​
Big Savings When You Bundle
True Compatibility: When you install your EV charger at the same time as your solar and battery, everything is designed to work together seamlessly—no risk of charging your car from the battery (which costs you money) instead of cheap grid rates or solar.
​
Avoid Extra Costs:
EV chargers installed on their own are often not solar-compatible, meaning you might have to pay for a second charger later.
Cabling for a combined solar + EV system is different—installing both at once means you get the right cable thickness and setup from the start, saving on future upgrade costs.
​
One Team, One Warranty:
One point of contact for installation, support, and warranty—no finger-pointing between different suppliers.
