EV, but no driveway
Work out whether Octopus still makes sense when most charging happens on the street, at work or on public chargers.
Choose by situation
Find the Octopus route that fits your situation
Most people do not start with a tariff name. They start with a real problem: an EV, a fixed deal ending, solar panels, a supplier they are unhappy with or a bill that looks odd. This page points you to the most useful place to start.
Fixed tariff ending
Check whether you should wait, fix again or move to a smart tariff before your current deal runs out.
Solar without a battery
Separate import, export and self-use so you do not choose a tariff just because the export rate looks attractive.
Switching from another supplier
Compare Octopus with British Gas, EDF, E.ON, OVO or Scottish Power using the product details that matter in practice.
Heat pump household
Look at Cosy, Flexible and your actual heating pattern before assuming one specialist tariff is always cheaper.
Smart meter or billing problem
Understand what data Octopus uses, what can go missing and which checks to make before you chase support.
If you already know you want to switch
Use the situation guides first if you are still comparing options. If you have decided Octopus is right for you, the referral-code page has the code, what each person gets and the calmer step-by-step route through signup.
