Introducing Charge Anytime - next generation EV charging

Updated on 25/08/25 by Chris_OVO:

Here’s the latest on our new electric vehicle charging type-of-use plan

 

We’ve relaunched Anytime as Charge Anytime. It’s not only a new name, we’ve made some updates to the product and we want to tell you all about it…

 

See our Charge Anytime product page here

 

What are the headline facts about Charge Anytime?

 

  • Smart charge your electric vehicle for 7p per kWh whenever you need to,
  • Now available to be added to any OVO plan, including electric-only households,
  • Intelligently optimises your charge for when the energy is at its greenest.*
     

Am I eligible?

 

You can see all eligibility details in our Charge Anytime page here.

 

  • You must be an OVO Energy customer and have an eligible car or charger. We’re constantly looking to open up the eligibility of this product to more EV models and chargers, so if you don’t see your tech here, keep an eye on our page. 

 

Our customers and trialists have really played a huge role in shaping Charge Anytime, not least the members of this forum. Leave a comment below if you have any questions, feedback and to let us know if you’ll be adding Charge Anytime to your OVO plan.

We’ve got a dedicated topic hub to all things Charge Anytime, so if you’re having any issues, take a look through the guides below, and if you’ve got any other questions feel free to ask our community:

 

 

 

*Our smart tech will aim to charge your car at a time when the grid has more renewable energy in it. Meaning it’s less likely your EV will be charged by energy from fossil fuels.

Thank you, I eventually got through and they seemed unaware that it appeared on my details on their app and suggested I phone Indra.

I have now managed to up date on the Kaluza web. 
 

Thanks for your swift reply.,

The first EV I had was not listed so I contacted OVO and it was put on in a matter of days. It was a rather obscure car a SsangYong Korando emotion but it was added to the list.

I wonder if the SsangYong works because you used it with the compatible charger and Kaluza?

Hey @Stevenlevy,

 

Jeffus is correct, you can access Charge Anytime with an eligible charger

If your charger is compatible, then any EV can use anytime … all other considerations in place .. smart meter, half hour readings etc
