Best tariff for solar, battery, and EV charging
Find the best tariff for homes where solar, battery storage, and EV charging all share the same property. The key question is how the whole setup behaves, not how one device behaves in isolation.
Private beta rollout
Use this page to frame the decision, then check the live tariff terms.
Should the tariff prioritise the EV first, the battery first, or whole-home flexibility across both?

Best fit
Best for mixed-device homes where the EV charger can consume the same cheap window the battery wants, and where solar/export logic adds a second layer of complexity.
Decision signals
- Choose Intelligent Go when EV charging behaviour shapes the home more than export optimisation does.
- Choose Flux when the battery and export contract are as important as the EV charger.
- Choose Agile when the house is flexible enough to benefit from intraday variation across multiple devices.
Recommended tariff playbooks
These are the tariff pages most relevant to this home profile based on the operating pattern described above.
Octopus Intelligent Go
Strong when the EV is central to the home's operating pattern and the property is already comfortable with charger-led smart slots.
Octopus Flux
Strong when the home wants to combine EV charging with deliberate battery export and reserve management.
Octopus Agile
Strong when both the EV and battery can respond to broad half-hourly volatility without creating new conflicts.
What to watch for
Related use cases
These pages explain the operational conflicts that usually sit underneath the tariff choice.
Stop Octopus daytime EV charging from draining your home battery
This is the flagship 1app.energy wedge: stop the daytime EV-battery conflict first, then layer in cheaper-period battery charging and broader whole-home coordination.
Smart tariff EV charging without home energy conflicts
When EV charging is cheap, it can still be operationally expensive if it competes with battery reserve, heating demand or export value elsewhere in the property.
Solar, battery and EV charging in one app
This is one of the strongest SaaS acquisition pages because the value proposition is simple: stop managing three overlapping energy systems in three different tools.
Smart controls that usually suit this home type
These mode pages explain how the battery strategy often changes once this home profile is clear.
Autopilot
The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot decides when to charge, hold, or export by balancing tariff value, home coverage, refill confidence, and your protected minimum battery SoC. Choose Balanced for a calmer default or Aggressive for stronger value seeking.
Home First
A simpler home-first mode. It prioritises running the home from your own solar and battery first, minimises grid dependence, and avoids optimiser-led battery export.
