Unlock Real Business Value
for Your Energy Clients.
Enabling smart home EV charging isn't a feature add-on. It's a strategic move that opens new revenue, cuts grid costs, and locks in your highest-value customers before the competition does.
New Revenue Stream
A smart EV tariff is a higher-value product than a flat rate. EV drivers are high-energy users who pay for measurable savings — and they stay with the provider they trust to deliver those savings, night after night.
Cut Your Peak Grid Costs
Unmanaged EV charging piles onto the evening peak — triggering costly DNO reinforcement charges and capacity overspend. Smart scheduling can shift charging into cheaper, cleaner, lower-stress windows, reducing grid exposure before it becomes a balance sheet problem.
Lock In High-Value Customers
EV owners spend 2–3× more on electricity than average households. A smart tariff that saves them £60–80 a month on charging creates real switching friction — they won't leave a provider that's actively saving them money every single night.
Meet DSO Obligations
Demand response and grid flexibility requirements are growing. v.energy's grid balancing event dispatch turns your enrolled EV customers into a ready-made flexibility asset — and lets you monetise it through DSO and balancing markets without building anything new.
Differentiate Fast
Octopus Intelligent Go proved the market appetite for smart EV tariffs. v.energy lets you compete — on your own terms, under your own brand, in weeks. No infrastructure to build, no technical team to hire. Your tariff product, production-ready.
Own Your Data Advantage
Every charging session generates rich behavioural data — when, where, how much, what vehicle. That data powers smarter tariff design, better grid forecasting, and entirely new product lines. It lives in your infrastructure, not ours.
Everything You Need.
Nothing You Don't.
Four core capabilities — all configurable to your tariff structure, your brand, and your grid obligations. Ready to plug in and launch.
