Did you know?
You can get paid up to £144* per year for charging your EV.
Yes you read that right - there is an official government scheme that enables EV drivers to be paid in cash for charging at the cheapest, greenest times of the day.
Raya Rewards helps you unlock those payments.
How it works
It's simple. Raya, your smart energy assistant, recommends charging times and settings that unlock rewards. You choose whether to follow them - and the more you follow, the more you earn.
Why you'll love Raya Rewards
Real cash, paid monthly
Real cash is paid to your bank account monthly for predictable overnight charging. Subject to market conditions.
A welcome bonus lands once you’re in. Real money, before you have even charged.
It’s easy to use
You're charging anyway so you might as well get rewarded for it. If you use intelligent scheduling, Raya will take care of it in the background.
With simple recommendations, Raya makes earning more from every charge feel effortless.
Full control, always
Raya works for you. She always prioritises your ready by times so can trust that your EV will still always be charged when you need it.
No need to buy anything new, and it works with all non-smart tariffs. You’re free to leave whenever you like, and anything you’ve earned is yours to keep.
How to start, in three steps
Activate Raya Rewards in the Powerverse app
Once activated, a few checks will run quietly in the background to make sure your smart meter is ready. This can take a few days, and Raya keeps you posted.
Raya gets to work.
Once you are in you’ll get a crisp £5 as a welcome and Raya will get to work recommending the best times to charge.
Watch it add up.
The more recommendations you follow, the more your earnings grow day by day. Once you reach £10, transfer the cash to your bank.
Meet Raya
Raya is your smart energy assistant. She lives in the Powerverse app and is on a mission to make charging more rewarding than ever.
She’s smart enough to understand your charging routine, spot opportunities, and help you earn cash from charging. Think of her as your EV charging sidekick, always working quietly in the background to make things simpler, smarter, and more rewarding.
It’s a win-win. The more of Raya’s recommendations you follow, the more you help the energy grid, and the more cash you can earn.
Raya’s Recommendations
Raya rewards consistent charging overnight so following these key steps will enable you to unlock the most rewards, (subject to market conditions).
Use either intelligent scheduling or Manual Scheduling charging modes on the Powerverse app.
Using boost or instant charge means a session won't qualify for that day, so avoid it where you can.
Charging between 11.30pm - 6am earns the most rewards.
The bigger picture
Raya Rewards brings together two things: a government initiative that enables EV drivers to earn payments for charging at the right times, and Raya’s technology, which makes it easy to take part.
Helping Renewables work better
EVs use a lot of electricity. If everyone charges at the same time, it can put extra pressure on the energy grid. Charging when demand is lower, or when more renewable energy is available, helps the energy system work more efficiently.
That’s why EV drivers can be rewarded for shifting their charging to times when it helps the grid most.
Everyone should have access
At Powerverse, we believe energy should be fairer, easier, and work better for everyone.
Raya was created to help make that possible. Her technology makes it easier for EV drivers to take part in Raya Rewards and access the payments available to them.

The small print
The £5 welcome, up to £12 a month and up to £144 a year are subject to market conditions and may change over time. Earnings are not guaranteed and depend on how and when you charge, in particular charging in the times Raya recommends. You will need an eligible smart meter to take part. Full details, including how rewards are calculated, are set out in the terms.
