Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime
Plug in more to change the future of energy
Join Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime and get rewards just for plugging in your EV for longer. The more time it’s plugged in, the better we can schedule charging to use greener power – and ease pressure on the grid. And your EV will always be charged and ready for when you need it.
Some customers may also be asked to move their ready-by-time to help support the grid even further, potentially where there may be increased demand within your charging period. By extending your ready-by-time, you’re giving OVO more time to optimise the charging of your vehicle and avoid potential higher demand periods.
At the moment, Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime is running as a trial.
How Power Move Flex works for Charge Anytime
OVO customers in the last trial earned £6 to £8 a month on average, just for staying plugged in. Here’s how it works:
Use Charge Anytime as normal
In the Charge Anytime app, choose how much you want to charge your EV and when you want it ready. Our clever tech will charge it when there’s more renewable power on the grid.
Stay plugged in
Keep your car plugged in for as long and as often as you can. This gives us a bigger charging window and more opportunities to charge your EV at greener times of the day.
Get rewarded
We’ll reward you based on how many qualifying sessions you plug in for across the week. A qualifying session counts as 6 continuous hours.

Taking pressure off the grid
Our smart tech aims to charge your EV when demand is low and there’s more renewable electricity on the grid. By plugging in for longer, there’s more time to optimise your charging. Meaning it’s less likely your car will be charged with power from fossil fuels.
Just set the time you need your EV charged by, and we’ll do the rest.
Together, we’re making energy better
We believe we can make energy better for people, and the planet. By taking part in Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime, you’re helping us understand how EV drivers can use cleaner power – and lower the demand for fossil fuels.
Rewarding you is our way of saying thanks for helping to change the future of energy.
