A bit about us...
Accelerating the switch to electric
Since 2018, we’ve been helping drivers go electric; with the car, the charger and the energy. All with 5 star support at every step.
We work with the leading EV brands to offer their cars at affordable prices; with government to pass through tax-savings and grants to customers; and with the wider Octopus Energy Group to help drivers access low rates for charging at home and in public.
More than 35,000 people in the UK drive an EV from us, getting them through their employer or with a personal lease. Making the switch to electric cheaper, easier and greener.
And we’re just getting started. We’re leading the way with Vehicle-to-Grid technology, a game-changing technology that draws power from a car and returns it to the grid.
The car is just the beginning
Going electric is about more than just the car.
It's about expert advice. It's about smarter home charging, easier public charging and greener power. About tax savings through your employer. About servicing and maintenance. About your car powering your home and the grid. About only ever having to talk to one company you trust, not five you don’t.
It's about getting what you need, from one place.
That’s why we’re here. Not just for the car. For everything else too.
Our story
2018: The UK’s first EV tariffs
Octopus Energy launches the first EV tariffs in the market, Octopus Go and Octopus Agile, making charging electric cars cheaper, easier and greener. One in three EV drivers sign up.
2019: Innovation in V2G
We're awarded Innovate UK funding to undertake a groundbreaking Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) project. Initially named Powerloop and tested with 135 customers, it becomes a key part of the Power Pack Bundle, the UK’s first V2G lease and charging package.
2020: Finding out what drivers want
We go across the UK to speak with drivers. They tell us they want one place to go to make the switch to electric, with charging and energy included.
2021: Salary sacrifice arrives
We launch EV salary sacrifice to help employees take advantage of tax savings of up to 40%. Within 12 months, over 2,000 companies sign-up. Today that is +7,000.
2023: Going personal
Intelligent EV hits the market, allowing everyone to make the switch to electric.
2025: Doing the maths
We support the Cost Of Driving Electric report, which shows that 8/10 people will save money by switching to an EV, with an average saving of £5,850.
Today: Growing…
With more than 35,000 drivers on the road, we are the most popular way to make the switch to an EV.
What our customers say
“It was cheaper to get a car through the scheme than it was to get a monthly train ticket.”
Seb Clark
Head of Creative at Huel
One of the things I really like about the Octopus EV scheme is that it’s the full package. The charger, plus the Octopus Energy tariff - I think the whole offer is really attractive.
Neil Clark
Planet Officer at TPXimpact
If you want to get an electric car in a very cost-effective way, this scheme takes away lots of the pains that you’d get with a personal lease. It’s just really easy.

Gurjeet Grewal, Interim CEO
"Our mission is simple: to make going electric easy, so driving is cleaner. And we know it’s about more than just the car.
It’s about making sure you’ve got the right charger for your home and the right tariff for your energy. It’s about making public charging accessible and simple. And it’s about making sure your car works with the grid, not just for you.
We believe getting what you need from one place — the car, the charger, the energy — makes it cheaper, easier and greener for people to make the switch. That’s the future we’re building at Octopus EV."
