Octopus Electroverse

[Fintray]

Just got one of their Electroverse cards delivered today, hadn't asked for one and it has a £10 credit on it!
Anyone else received one?

Had one for a while, handy to have down in England and on the continent.

Can't see myself taking the Leaf afar.

I guess not!

Well worth having.

They work well. Very useful and I used it travelling to Amsterdam and back twice. The only non-electroverse charge was at Eurotunnel Folkstone where I used the Tesla chargers to charge my ID 4.

Eurotunnel Calais has lots of chargers, both Tesla and others and the other ones can be used with the Electoverse card but, strangely, not credit cards. Eurotunnel just need to get a decent fleet of chargers installed at Folkstone.

The only major network that I use that Electroverse don't partner with is Gridserve.

Yep I've got an Electroverse card too - the only non-Tesla "Card" I have.
Only used it a few times, but been damn useful each time when I have done - once at Ionity Folkestone (and you get cheaper tariff than PaYG), plus a couple of times on Source London. Also once on one Shell Recharge point, but didn't seem to work on another Shell one I tried a few weeks later.

I think it also works on Osprey, Ubitricity, ESB and Fastned - so pretty comprehensive

What advantage to using the chargemap pass? that has been around for a while, when we got the tesla we no longer wanted the BP charge master app (charging was getting marginally better in 2021 up & down the A1) & chargemap works on plenty of chargers when you really have no other option.
Whilst it was a 20 euro one off payment for the card it was in pole market position for uk & europe as an option (especially for non tesla leaf driving)

One of our considerations was that it was the same company that operates the "free to use" NOT, ..Queen liz bridge (dart tag) & the benefit for visiting france was being able to fix an auto toll logger for our RHD visits to the continent (those bashed up thin cash pay toll stations gave us the shivers in hire cars, que me doing a quick run around the car to throw cash in as the wife couldn't reach half the time.

I do wonder though why we need a french company coining it in from that toll bridge though.

First advantage over the Chargemaster card is that you don't pay the £20 initial card fee. And if you're an Octopus Energy user, the charging costs are billed via your regular home energy account.

Maybe if that was around 2-3 years ago it would have been a good card to have, nowadays thats just run of the mill & late to the party.

That's what I liked, WT energy conversion to EV energy.
