Charging just got a whole lot cheaper with a new way to save on your public charging costs.
When you’re managing a fleet of EVs, you’ll want access to the best deals for your business - and the great news is we can help with that.
At Octopus Fleet, we're all about making fleet management refreshingly simple, and that's why we're excited to launch our new feature: Charge point operator (CPO) subscriptions!
If your drivers are constantly using the same charge point network, we’ve got a new way to make some serious savings. Our new subscriptions let you pay a small monthly fee to a specific CPO directly through your business account.
We’ll then add on a sweet discount to every charge your drivers make with that operator!
It’s like getting a VIP pass to your driver's favourite charging networks; lower prices and all the savings go straight back into your business.
All you need to do is log in to your business account, head to the “Discount” section in the left-hand panel, and any active subscriptions will pop up.
Click on the subscription you want to add, and select the drivers you want to add then hit confirm. It’s nice and easy!
No longer need a subscription? No problem! You can head straight to the discounts tab and tap on the driver you’d like to cancel. And the best part? All these charges, subscriptions, and savings are rolled up into one, transparent bill in your account.
We’re starting out strong with a whooping 42% off IONITY! Available across all markets.
With this subscription, you get 42% off per month on your IONITY charging costs for your subscribed drivers!
Example: Say you subscribe 5 drivers to IONITY
Assuming charging at IONITY to cover 2,000 miles per driver per month
An efficiency of 2.4 miles per kWh (fully loaded) based on a Citroën ё-Dispatch
Assuming cost to charge is £0.74 per kWh
Without subscription:
Total cost to charge per month based on 5 drivers: £3,108.00
With subscription:
Charged to your account monthly per subscription: £8.75 (excl VAT) per driver
Total cost for 5 subscriptions: £43.75 (excl VAT)
Final cost for charging: £1,802.64 + £43.75 in subscription fees.
Total savings on monthly charging invoice: £1,305.36
We’ll be adding new subscriptions all the time so check back here or on the fleet management platform to see what ones become available to you!
It's essentially a special discount that is available to add to your driver's charging! You pay a small, fixed monthly fee per driver to access a specific charging network (the Charge Point Operator, or CPO). In return, that network gives your drivers a heavily reduced price on every kilowatt-hour (kWh) they charge there.
We're rolling out subscriptions that we know fleets want access to! This includes IONITY, and we're adding more popular partners to the Octopus Electroverse all the time. Check your account dashboard for the full, up-to-date list of available CPO subscriptions.
We've made this part a breeze. The subscription is linked directly to your business account and their Electroverse access (via the app or a physical charging card). When they plug into a subscribed network, the discount is applied - so they don't need to do a thing, just charge at that CPO!
Of course! Our subscriptions are designed to be flexible. You can manage which drivers are subscribed directly within your account, we're you can add and remove drivers with ease.
