Which EV charging discounts and benefits can EV drivers get with Octopus Electroverse?
As Europe's largest charging network (yes, really!), here at Electroverse, we've got a fair few discounts and benefits for our community - but who wants to spend their time searching for them?
Below is a comprehensive list of all Electroverse discounts and benefits you can receive as a community member of Octopus Electroverse.
Let’s get plugged in…
UK
Free drink, anyone? Charge at a participating Shell Recharge location and grab yours!
Yes, you read that right, a free drink when you charge!
To grab this benefit charge at a participating Shell Recharge location, using Electroverse, for 5 kWh or more - it's that simple!
Once your charge reaches 5 kWh, you'll get a barcode to present at the till which entitles you to one free drink.
To see which locations offer this deal, tap into a Shell Recharge location in the Electroverse app and look for the drink banner.
At Electroverse, all of our community members receive a 5% discount on the standard IONITY public charging cost across the whole of Europe!
This discount does not need to be activated! Simply start a charge with your Electrocard or through the Electroverse app and the discount will be applied automatically.
In this unique pricing trial, Osprey and Electroverse have teamed up to provide you with 20% off on their public charging network between 7 - 11pm!
This discounted period applies to every Osprey charger and can be accessed by every Octopus Electroverse community member.
Once again, like IONITY, no activation is needed - our flexible tariffs make room for exciting discounts such as this! Charge your EV between these times and the discount will be applied automatically.
Be.EV and Octopus Electroverse have teamed up to help all you night owls save on your charging with a 10% off-peak tariff.
Start a charge using either your Electrocard or Electroverse app at any Be.EV location between 9pm and 7am and the discount will be automatically applied!

Plunge Pricing is our latest in exciting Electroverse discount events, which take place regularly in the UK!
When there is a surge of renewable energy on the grid, we provide discounts on some of our partners' public charging. High energy + low demand = exciting rewards for Electroverse customers!
With flexibility at its core, Plunge Price discounts will change with each event - ensuring the Electroverse community gets the best discount for the event period.
So, while a Plunge Price one day might bring you a 20% discount, the following week could see discounts of up to 50% off!
The best way to be notified of a Price Plunge event is to turn on Notifications in the Electroverse app - but we'll also give updates across our social channels at least 24 hours before an event is to take place:
Get 20% off your parking with Q-Park by heading into the Octopus Electroverse app map, finding the Q-Park location pin of your choice, and tapping the link provided to begin pre-booking your parking space - using the Electroverse discount code displayed on the booking page!
Plus, you can use your Electroverse app and card to charge at any of the Blink chargers located in the Q-Park car parks, so you can come back to a fully charged EV!
For any EV driver in France (or visiting soon!), we’ve got your discounted charging covered! Get 20% off Powerdot chargers from 25/11 - 22/12 (11:00 - 15:59) when using your Electrocard or Electroverse app.
Every month we have an Electroverse photo competition where you can win up to £30/30€ in charging credit (across the UK and Europe)!
One of the features in the Electroverse app is 'Add photos'. This involves taking a photo of a charging station (or selecting a previous photo from your camera roll) and uploading it to the chargepoint location! Once the photo is accepted by Electroverse, you are automatically in the running to win one of the three categories.
Another great feature in the Electroverse app is, 'Refer a friend'!
If you have a friend or family member or simply feel like sharing the love with another EV driver, you can 'refer a friend' to the Electroverse and split £10/10€ charging credit!
Head to the 'Refer a friend' area in your Electroverse app (which you can find in the Profile tab to the far right!). Once you're in, you can copy and share the provided link or, if they're standing right next to you, they could scan your QR code.
Once that friend has signed up and made their first charge, you will both receive £5/5€ credit to put towards your next charge!
But wait, there's more...
5% discount for Octopus Go customers or 8% for Intelligent Octopus Go customers
