What people say about OVO
The Engineer JP was professional, knowledgeable and efficient, explaining the process clearly and answering all my questions. The installation of the smart meter was quicker than I expected and everything is working perfectly. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and great service.

I rang my supplier ova energy spoke to customer service a lovely lady called Ash . She was so helpful and took her time to talk to me and explain the issue to me . I have a disabled daughter who doesn’t move . Ash sent me a winter pack which is so helpful it has this foot warmer and that has helped her so much I’m ever so grateful. It keeps my daughter’s feet warm as she would always suffer from cold feet during winter and is also good for circulation. Ash was very understanding when I spoke to her, she’s a credit to the company!!

Questions and answers
You'll need to buy or lease a new fully-electric vehicle from CUPRA during the time that this offer is live. We determine eligibility off the date you placed the initial order for your vehicle, not the day that you received your vehicle. The vehicle must also be purchased or leased from a CUPRA dealership through Retail, Contract Hire or the Motability scheme.
If your new EV is a company car, currently you will not be eligible for this offer. However, you could still get up to 2,000 free miles through our company car offer.
If you're not sure, you can ask your CUPRA Retailer to confirm with you. Full eligibility criteria can be seen in the Terms and Conditions here.
You'll receive up to 30,000 free miles over three years if you stay with Charge Anytime, plus an extra 1,000 free anniversary miles for up to three years.
Here’s how it works:
- The first 10,000 miles will be added when you join Charge Anytime
- An additional 20,000 miles will be added as 10,000 miles each year, for the next two years, as long as you stay with Charge Anytime.
- You'll also receive up to 1,000 extra free miles each year you stay on Charge Anytime, for up to three years. This is in addition to your standard 10,000 miles and will be credited on your sign-up anniversary.
You’ll need to buy a fully-electric CUPRA and then select Charge Anytime from the shop section of your online account. It’s free to add to any OVO tariff.
Smart charging is when you charge your EV at home. The smart bit comes from our intelligent tech making sure your vehicle is charged when the grid is greenest, within the time you need it charged by. You set this time through the app. Smart charging with Charge Anytime also unlocks the super-low charging rate of 7p per kWh.
Charging this way helps move the UK energy system towards a smarter, greener way of using energy. If more people use energy when the grid is greener, together we can rely less on fossil fuels to keep power flowing at peak times.
For your energy supply and online account to be fully set up, it should take 5 working days or less. As soon as you’ve switched over, we’ll send you an email with all the information you need to get set up with Charge Anytime and unlock your free miles.
30,000 free miles are based on driving 3.3 miles per kWh. The average EV efficiency across the Volkswagen Group UK brands is 3.3 miles per kWh, so you may receive more or less miles depending on your individual vehicle setup.
At the end of each month, we work out how much energy you've used to smart charge your car. We'll use this info to credit your energy account in the first week of the next month, with the right amount to make your charging cost 7p per kWh.
For example:
- The Charge Anytime rate is 7p per kWh. And let’s say your standard electricity rate is 26p per kWh.
- We’ll credit you 19p for each kWh you’ve used to smart charge your EV, to make your smart charging rate 7p
- This means if you use 100 kWh of energy smart charging your EV, you’ll get £19 in credit back on your bill.
It’ll appear on your monthly OVO energy bill under the heading “Charge Anytime Credit”. We add this credit into your account in the first week of every month.
The credit shown on your bill will be for the electricity you’ve used for smart charging your EV the previous month. So, in the first week of September, we’ll add your credit for August, and so on.
You can override your smart charging schedule at any time. This lets you top up quickly when you need to, at your standard home electricity rate.
The next time you charge, you’ll automatically go back to your smart charging schedule.
You'll need a smart meter and to pay for your energy by Direct Debit. You'll also need a smartphone that can download and run the OVO app.
This is a separate offer to the free miles with Charge Anytime. OVO customers who are eligible for Beyond can choose to bank 100 free EV miles a month as standard – as a reward for being an energy customer. On top of that, if you buy a new CUPRA EV and add Charge Anytime, you’ll also get an exclusive extra 50 free miles a month. That works out to be an extra 50 free miles for every 100 banked with Beyond.
For example:
- You unlock Beyond in March 2025. You start banking 100 miles a month for being an OVO energy customer.
- In September 2025, you buy a new CUPRA EV and add Charge Anytime.
- You'll get the standard 500 miles you banked with Beyond (that's 5 months of 100 free miles). Plus, an extra 250 miles for buying a new CUPRA EV and adding Charge Anytime (that's 5 months of 50 free miles). We'll add this as 1 or 2 credits to your OVO account.
Important Information
Here are the full terms and conditions.
1 Offer open to new or existing customers of OVO Energy who: (1) are UK residents excluding Northern Ireland, 18+, (2) have purchased/purchase a brand new fully electric vehicle from any CUPRA dealership through Retail, Contract Hire or Motability between 1st July 2024 and 31st May 2025 (3) activate OVO Energy's 'Charge Anytime' and (4) have not claimed 'free miles' under a previous Volkswagen Group or OVO promotion. To activate 'Charge Anytime', the customer will need a compatible EV charger or electric vehicle (for a list of compatible chargers and vehicles please see here). T&Cs apply to OVO Energy's 'Charge Anytime', see here. Offer valid on new Retail, Contract Hire and Motability sales only, where order was placed from 1st July 2024 to 31st May 2025. Offer subject to availability. Domestic charging only. To receive miles, the customer must claim by signing up to Charge Anytime and submitting their vehicle order number within 3 months of vehicle handover. Customer will receive the first 10,000 free miles as a credit on their OVO Energy account within 60 days of Charge Anytime sign up. Customer will receive an additional credit worth up to 10,000 free miles on the next two anniversaries of joining 'Charge Anytime' so long as they remain an OVO customer with 'Charge Anytime' activated. In addition to the up to 30,000 mile offer: for each year the customer remains on 'Charge Anytime', they will also receive a credit on each anniversary of joining 'Charge Anytime' worth up to approximately 1,000 free miles. This will be paid for a maximum of 3 years. Mileage calculations based on average efficiency, weighted in line with brand electric vehicle volumes, of 3.3kWh/mile across the Volkswagen Group model range (for all brands). Since this is an average, the efficiency of individual models may be less, which would mean the customer receives fewer than the maximum stated free miles. The efficiency figure is also based on standardised test data after the battery had been fully charged (to 100%) and may not reflect real world driving. Actual efficiency differs depending on multiple variables, including selected vehicle and configuration, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles, route conditions, speed, vehicle age, battery age and temperature and vehicle load. The actual number of free miles the customer receives may be less than the maximum stated miles and will depend on the actual efficiency of the selected vehicle in the real world. Offer is for an estimated number of free miles calculated on the basis of the costs to the customer when they 'smart charge' using 'Charge Anytime'. Electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. For the latest information, including official WLTP range and power consumption data for the selected vehicle, please visit CUPRA’s website. We reserve the right to make changes to the Offer and these Terms at any time. For full Offer terms and conditions, see here.
2 Actual sum is £553.35. When you add Charge Anytime to your plan, your home energy rate will stay the same, but the energy consumed by your EV will be charged at an effective rate of 7p per kWh when EV smart charging (thanks to payment of your Charge Anytime charging credit).
The £553.35 saving is based on an average Charge Anytime customer using 3100kWh a year to charge their EV using the Charge Anytime add on. The Charge Anytime rate on 01/01/2025 is 7p per kWh for Charge Anytime charging compared to the OVO’s UK average SVT rate of 24.85p per kWh. Actual savings will vary depending on vehicle efficiency, driving style, EV charging usage and the cost per kWh of your standard home energy tariff.
3 Our smart tech aims to charge your car when the grid has more renewable energy in it, within the time you’ve set. Meaning it’s less likely your EV will be charged by energy from fossil fuels.
4 Open to new or existing customers of OVO Energy who are GB residents, 18+. Excludes Northern Ireland. Offer enables non-EV drivers to "bank" free miles on a monthly basis, which they can then redeem at a later date if they go on to purchase a qualifying electric vehicle and activate OVO Energy's 'Charge Anytime’. To participate, you must (1) download the OVO App (compatible smartphone required) and (2) activate OVO Energy's OVO Beyond and EV Reward Offer. You can then bank miles through the OVO App. All customers will be able to bank up to 100 miles per month under the EV Reward Offer for a maximum of 24 months (i.e. up to a total of 2,400 free miles), with banked mileage shown in the OVO App. Customers who then purchase a brand new fully electric vehicle from CUPRA after the 1st July 2024 through Retail, Contract Hire or Motability will be awarded up to an additional 50 miles for every 100 miles banked through the EV Reward Offer. Banked mileage and the additional miles awarded will be redeemed as a monetary credit to your Charge Anytime account, within 90 days of activating Charge Anytime. Credit can be used to charge your vehicle providing "free miles" of range. Banked mileage must be redeemed within 3 years from the end of the 24 month accrual period. Once expired, the banked mileage and the additional miles awarded will be lost. To activate 'Charge Anytime', you will need a compatible EV charger or electric vehicle (for a list of compatible chargers and vehicles please see here). T&Cs apply to OVO Energy's ‘Beyond EV Reward’ (see here) and 'Charge Anytime' (see here). Offer valid on new retail and retail contract hire vehicles only, where order was placed after 01/07/2024. Not available for business purposes. Offer subject to availability. Mileage calculation based on average efficiency, weighted in line with brand market share, of 3.3kWh/mile across the Volkswagen Group model range for all brands. Since this is an average, the efficiency of individual models may be less, which would mean you receive fewer than the maximum free mileage. The efficiency figure is also based on standardised test data after the battery had been fully charged (to 100%) and may not reflect real world driving. Actual efficiency differs depending on multiple variables, including your selected vehicle and configuration, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles, route conditions, speed, vehicle age, battery age and temperature and vehicle load. The actual number of free miles you receive may be less than the maximum stated miles and will depend on the actual efficiency of your selected vehicle in the real world. Offer is for an estimated number of free miles calculated on the basis of the costs to the customer when they 'smart charge' using 'Charge Anytime'. Amount of credit you receive will vary depending on how many free miles you have banked and the current Charge Anytime rate at the time you redeem your free miles up to a maximum redemption value of 14p/kWh. Electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. For the latest information, including official WLTP range and power consumption data for your selected vehicle, please visit CUPRA’s website.
