We built the Octopus Agile Alexa skill to customers to ask Alexa when electricity will cheapest in the next 24 hours, and what the price is now. It can also tell a customer how “green” the energy is.

All this information is delivered by Alexa voice and Alexa screen.

So, if you have Electric car and want to charge it, you can do it the smart way; and wait for the electricity price to be lowest to plug it in.
