InstaVolt vs Octopus Electroverse Usage & Stats

The Instavolt App runs alongside our contactless payment option and provides another simple way to access our award winning DC Rapid Electric Vehicle charging network. In addition to the functional benefits the App provides (i.e. location mapping, navigation and VAT receipts), customers using our EV charging App are given exclusive access to the following rewards programs, which are not available to those using our contactless payment option. 1. Membership to the ‘Volts’ reward program, where customers can earn Volts for every kWh they use on the InstaVolt network, which can then be exchanged for charging credits. 2. Access to the ‘Invite and Earn' promotion which allows customers to earn charging credits just by referring our services to others. 3. Receive alerts to partner promotions when you start a charge at locations where one of our partners is running a special offer. 4. The amenities our locations have to offer are displayed as a collection of easily recognised icons representing the types of amenity available e.g. Cafe, Restaurant, Toilets etc.

Octopus Electroverse

Ready for better EV charging? This is Octopus Electroverse. Europe’s largest EV charging network. It will change how you charge on the go. —— Access over 850,000 global chargers with the all-powerful and award-winning Electroverse app and Electrocard. The Electrocard (RFID) is free to order & you can do this through the Electroverse app whenever you like. ‘But I’m not an Octopus customer!’ we hear you cry - well, good news! You don’t need to be with Octopus Energy to use Electroverse - it’s open to all! What’s more, paywalls and hidden fees aren’t our thing - we’re more ‘discounts and inclusivity’. So, once you’ve signed up, you’ll have access to every feature immediately. You’ll also only ever get clear and transparent pricing from us. We never mark up charging rates, passing through the rate we receive from the relevant network. This also means we’re able to wrangle some discounted deals - and you can wave goodbye to pre-authorisation fees, as we absorb those too. Sound good? Then we’ll see you in the Electroverse soon. —— One app. One card. One place for your charging needs. This is public EV charging made simple. —— App features include: - Plunge Pricing discounts = On top of our standard discounts, we’ve rolled out Plunge Pricing: discounts when energy prices drop. Green energy = greener discounts. - Electroverse map toggle = Switches map visibility between all chargers and those compatible with Electroverse. This means you have all the information when selecting a charger. - Map filters = Search and find charging stations via charging speeds, socket types and preferred networks. - Detailed Charger Information = Shows live charger availability, a renewable energy icon to help you charge with 100% green energy, and important location details (such as charging costs and other parking restrictions). - In-app charging = Charge your vehicle via the app! Simply plug in and tap 'start charge' on your phone. - Route planner = Energise your drive with plotted charging stops along any route! Makes driving long distances a piece of cake. - Pay, your way = Debit card, Apple Pay, PayPal & more. It’s all your choice. —— Winners of: - Mobile Innovation of the Year (2024) - National Technology Awards - Best EV charging app (2023) - AutoExpress Awards - EV charging and app development (2022) - E-mobility Awards
