Octopus are giving a free hour of electricity tomorrow, but it is capped at 16kWh.
Charging a car for an hour on a fast charger would use about 7kWh.
A typical DNO fuse is rated at 60 Amps, so would barely be able to get close to 13kWh (220V x 60A).
Even if you were upgraded to 80 or 100 Amps, would you have the equipment to draw that much power from the grid?

Anyway, if you want to switch to Octopus, here's a code to get us both £50.

Keep in mind that credited electricity during the free hour is capped at 16kWh, so anything over that won't be free. It’s enough to light up a local sports stadium, so we reckon it’ll be plenty! And as with any free power session, we of course trust you to be sensible with your electricity use – please avoid overloading your circuit breaker or extension leads!
