Common questions

Can I buy an EV charger from Octopus Energy?

Octopus Energy primarily offers electricity plans and does not typically sell EV charging hardware. You will need to purchase your Level 2 charger from a separate electronics retailer or specialized EV equipment vendor. We then provide the professional installation to integrate it safely into your home's electrical system.

How much does it cost to put in a Level 2 charger at home?

The cost of installing a Level 2 charger in Missouri is influenced by your home's existing electrical infrastructure. Key factors include the amperage of your electrical panel, the distance from the panel to the charging station, and whether any panel upgrades are required. We offer a free phone quote to detail these variables for your specific situation.

Is a Level 2 charger worth the cost?

For EV owners in Missouri, a Level 2 charger offers significant convenience and time savings. It dramatically reduces charging time compared to a standard outlet, allowing for a full charge overnight, which is ideal for daily commutes around Columbia. The increased utility often makes it a worthwhile investment for any EV driver.
