Octopus EV Charger Discount Code 2026 - Get £25 Off Home Installation

Claim £25 off your Octopus Energy home EV charger installation by signing up through the official referral link below. Octopus offers a smart home EV charger fitted by their own engineers, and the £25 discount is automatically applied when you start your enquiry via a referral – no manual code needed.

If you’re planning a home charger installation, this is one of the easiest ways to shave money off the cost up front. Here’s exactly what the discount is, how to claim it, what you get, and how to combine it with an Octopus EV tariff for the cheapest overnight charging. Last updated: May 2026.

What is the Octopus EV charger discount code?

The Octopus EV charger discount is a £25 referral credit applied to a home electric vehicle charger installation purchased through Octopus Energy’s tech-referrals programme. It works like the standard Octopus refer-a-friend scheme but is run separately by Octopus Electric Vehicles – a different division from your energy supply.

There’s no ‘code’ to copy and paste. You just start your enquiry by clicking an official referral link (like the one on this page) and the £25 credit is tracked automatically against your account.

How to claim the £25 off Octopus EV charger installation

  1. Click an official referral link. Use this Octopus EV charger referral link – it routes you straight to the official Octopus quote page with the £25 discount attached.
  2. Get your free home survey quote. Enter your postcode and answer a few questions about your home, parking and EV. Octopus shows you a fixed installation price.
  3. Book your installation. Octopus Electric Vehicles handle the survey, fitting and certification.
  4. £25 is credited automatically once your installation completes – no separate claim, no chasing.

 

You can read more about how Octopus referrals work in our guide to whether the Octopus referral scheme is legit, and how long credits typically take in how long the £50 referral credit takes (timing for the EV credit is similar – a few weeks after installation).

What you get with Octopus EV charger installation

Booking through Octopus is bundled rather than ‘just a charger.’ A typical installation includes:

  • A modern, smart home charger (currently the Ohme ePod is commonly supplied)
  • Full installation by an Octopus-approved engineer
  • A home survey to confirm your fusebox and cable run can support a 7kW charger
  • Manufacturer warranty on the unit (usually 3 years)
  • Workmanship warranty on the install
  • Integration with Octopus’s smart tariffs – the charger talks to the grid for cheap overnight charging

 

The £25 discount stacks on top of all of that.

Should you also switch to an Octopus EV tariff?

Short answer: yes – that’s where the real ongoing savings come from. The £25 is a one-off install discount; an EV tariff is the saving you compound every month.

If you’re charging at home overnight, an Octopus EV-specific tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go typically gives you electricity at a fraction of the standard rate during off-peak hours – often 7p/kWh versus the standard ~28p/kWh. For a typical EV driver that’s hundreds of pounds a year. Our full guide to Octopus EV tariffs compares the options in detail.

Can you stack the £25 charger discount with the £50 switch referral?

Yes – they’re completely separate schemes. Octopus runs:

 

Each is a different referral programme with its own link, and they don’t conflict. A new Octopus customer installing a home charger could realistically claim both the £50 supply credit and the £25 install discount – ~£75 total. (We’re upfront that we earn a referral reward when you use our links – see our How We Make Money page.)

Who is eligible?

The Octopus EV charger installation is available to UK homeowners who:

  • Live in a property with off-street parking (driveway or garage)
  • Have a suitable electrical supply (Octopus’s survey will confirm)
  • Own or are buying an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid

 

You do not need to be an existing Octopus Energy customer to claim the £25 EV charger discount – this is a separate purchase from your energy supply. That said, pairing it with switching to Octopus (and claiming the £50 supply credit too) is the strongest combined offer.

Conclusion

The Octopus EV charger discount code is one of the simplest savings you can claim before installing a home charger: £25 off a fixed-price, fully-installed smart charger from a reputable supplier. There’s no code to remember – just start your enquiry through an official referral link and the credit tracks itself.
