Good to know

Ultra Mode, answered.

What is Ultra Mode?

Ultra Mode is an optional feature in the Hypervolt app that charges your EV at the cheapest, cleanest times—and pays you for helping to support the UK electricity grid. It works alongside your existing tariff, even if you're not on a smart tariff, and you can turn it on or off whenever you choose.

How does Ultra Mode work?

Ultra Mode optimises your charging schedule using live grid and pricing data. In summer it charges when renewable energy is abundant; in winter it may briefly pause charging during peak demand to cut carbon. You earn rewards each time you take part in a grid support or smart charging event.

Do I need a smart tariff or special plan?

No. Ultra Mode is designed for everyone, even if you're not eligible for tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go or OVO Charge Anytime.

How will I get paid?

When you take part in flexibility events, your charger adjusts automatically and your preferences are always respected. Earnings are tracked in the app, and you can withdraw once your balance reaches £10—we'll remind you at the end of each programme cycle. What you earn depends on how often you plug in and your postcode—around £10 a month at today's rates. We recommend plugging in at least four times a week.

Can I override Ultra Mode?

Yes. You're in control at all times—skip individual events, override your schedule, or turn Ultra Mode off in the app whenever you like. For grid support events, you'll always get at least 24 hours' notice.

Is my car battery safe?

Absolutely. Ultra Mode never draws energy from your EV battery and has no effect on battery health or range.

How do I get started?

Update your Hypervolt app, tap Get Started under Ultra Mode, verify your address or MPAN, and set your charging preferences—start time, finish time, and battery amount. Once setup is complete, Ultra Mode begins optimising your charging and earning you rewards.

Am I eligible?

You can use Ultra Mode if you live in Great Britain, you're not already on a smart EV charging tariff, and you have a Hypervolt charger with the latest app update.

How do I get support?
