Electric Vehicles

Electroverse is the Octopus Energy billing system where you charge using the app or card, rather than your contactless card, and it bills that energy use to your home electric bill. Previously companies such as Instavolt havnt allowed server access to other companies, but its the largest UK operator so its a real game changing approach which should allow EV drivers thousands more options. Most obviously McDonalds is partnered with Instavolt, so you can eat some shite while charging at many hundreds of their sites, and at the end of the month it will just show up on your house bill.

The next step is full plug and go, where you dont even use an app or card, just charge and leave. Tesla has this system and Ionity offers it to some vehicles. You have to set up the account at some level. The data transferred from your car to the charging unit is capable of handling billing, but as theres so many different EVs the coding required isnt there yet.
