Honda has launched a new ‘intelligent’ domestic charging service for Honda E owners, which used real-time data to fill machines up with electricity at the most cost-effective times.
The Japanese firm has developed the e:Progress charging service with smart charging company Moixa and electricity supplier Octopus Energy. It is offered on the latter’s Agile Octopus combined home and EV tariff, with vehicle charging provided through a connected Honda Power Charger S+.
The system is based on Moixa software that updates electricity pricing every 30 minutes based on variances in demand and wholesale supply. Honda E owners can use an app to specify when they need their vehicles fully charged and the software then supplies charge to the vehicle at the most cost-effective times.
Honda has launched a new connected charging service that allows electric vehicle (EV) drivers to save money by charging their car at the cheapest time.

Octopus Energy claims to be all about disrupting the UK energy market status quo with energy that s good for the planet, wallet, and consumer soul by only offering 100% green electricity tariffs and no contracts.
That s a proposition that seems to be resonating with at least some customers, as since it opened for business in 2016 it has been signing up an average of 50,000 customers per month on average. It now supplies energy to 1.8 million UK homes (and counting), and is the only supplier to be recommended by consumer champion Which? for four successive years.
