We’re accelerating the switch to electric driving.

Over 50,000 drivers in the UK have made the switch to an electric car with us. They’ve chosen us over traditional leasing companies and car dealerships because, with Octopus, you get the whole package.

Car, charger and energy. All from one place. 

And we’re powered by that famous, award-winning Octopus customer service. 

With accessibility and affordability central to everything we do, our goal is to make it easier to transition away from fossil fuels, to a more sustainable, fairer energy system for tomorrow.

We’re starting by making it cheaper and easier for more people to drive electric. 

Octopus EV colleagues

We're leading the charge

Octopus is built on outrageously good customer service. If you need help, a knowledgeable, friendly human will be there for you. 

Our EV experts are on hand to help you choose the right EV for you. They test drive all of the top EVs on the market, so they can share their unadulterated opinions with you.

And once you’re on the road, our Customer Operations teams are at the end of the phone (or, email) to solve any EV question you have. From ‘how do I charge this thing?’ to ‘how does V2G actually work?’, we’re here to answer anything you need to know. 

We use smart tech to give you the best experience and keep your costs low. You can research, choose and order your car online seamlessly, with delivery included as standard. And we’re on hand if you need to speak to a human anywhere along the way.

Easy process made much easier by Tanisha who was extremely knowledgeable, helpful at every stage and patient with a customer who asks lots of questions and couldn't make his mind up (that's me btw!)

The car is just the beginning

For us, 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.

Driving the electric revolution, with innovation at our core

EV salary sacrifice: Over 9,000 companies across the UK trust us to offer their team a game-changing employee benefit. Salary sacrifice saves their employees up to 40% on the cost of an EV, while reducing their employer National Insurance bill. 

We work with companies of all shapes and sizes, including many household brands including Great Western Railway, Huel, and Nando’s. And no, sadly we don’t get free chicken. 

Employers and their teams can manage everything online in simple, intuitive journeys. From ordering their EV, to payroll admin - everything in one place. All enabled by our tech-first approach. No need to deal with several suppliers, sending you round the houses for the answers you need. Just a free to set up, easy to manage, game-changing perk for your team. 

From a financial point of view, it’s extremely beneficial for staff. And for us as an employer, there are National Insurance savings too, which means we can reinvest more money back into services.

With salary sacrifice, it was cheaper to get a car through the scheme than it was to get a monthly train ticket

With V2G your car acts as a mobile battery. Soaking up power when there’s less demand for energy, and exporting it back to the grid, to power your home and others’, when there’s more demand. 

We’ve teamed up with BYD and Zaptec to help drivers unlock the full potential of V2G with the Power Pack Bundle. An all-in-one package: a BYD Dolphin,a V2G-enabled charger, and a tariff that gets you free charging for your whole lease. For those who believe in the power of clean energy, and want to be part of the energy transition from day one.

"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."
