About us
Meet our CEO, Fiona.
“Hi, I’m Fiona, the CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles and a member of the council at Zemo Partnerships.
Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to help more people get behind the wheel of an EV and move away from polluting fuel-powered cars.
Our whole EV packages are designed to make it easy and affordable to switch to clean, green driving.
We’re the go-to place for everything you need to go electric: car, charger, energy and 4.8* service.
Whether you want to make brilliant tax savings for your team and help them save up to 40% on the cost of driving an EV through salary sacrifice, or if you want to lease a whole fleet of electric cars through your business, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve teamed up across the Octopus Energy Group and brought the whole electric journey under one roof. The Octopus family will install your home EV charger, help you choose the perfect electric car for you, and we’ll even switch you over to the cheapest, greenest EV energy tariffs.”
Improving air quality. Reducing carbon emissions. Delivering joy.
We’re on a mission to help drivers discover electric cars and make it easy and affordable to make the switch.
The whole EV package
We believe the eco choice should be the easy choice. That’s why we’re making it easier than ever for drivers to switch to an EV by providing the whole EV package to our drivers.
We know cost is a key barrier to making that switch to electric vehicles, but with extremely low company car tax rates for electric cars, salary sacrifice schemes make them cheaper than petrol or diesel equivalents. We specialise in making it easy and cost-neutral for companies to set this up and offer it to their team.
Our EV Specialists
Our independent and impartial EV Specialists are on hand to help you discover the world of electric driving.
The Octopus Electric Vehicles team is here to help you choose your new car, get a charge point at home or at work, to fill up your electric car with green, renewable energy at the cheapest times of the day, and help you understand exactly how long it’ll take you to charge your car and where you can do it.
Making the switch hassle-free
Helping customers transition to a greener and fairer world for future generations is a big mission. Our sister company Octopus Energy already supplies green energy to over three million homes and businesses (and counting) and we are working hard to do the same for our roads.
Together with our customers, we can make a big difference. And with 90% of customers rating us 5* Excellent on Trustpilot, it’s more than just talk.

Our history
Where we started and where we’re going.
2018: Launched the UK’s first EV tariffs
We designed and launched the first EV tariffs in the market, Octopus Go and Octopus Agile, making it simple, cheap and green to charge electric cars. One in three EV drivers sign up to these tariffs.
2019: Innovation in V2G
We're awarded Innovate UK funding to undertake a groundbreaking Vehicle to Grid project, called Powerloop, with 135 customers.
2019/2020: Finding out what EV drivers want
Running events all around the country, we took the time to listen to customers and understand their concerns and needs. We learned that they wanted one place where they could make the switch to electric driving, with charging and energy included.
2021: Launching a market-leading EV salary sacrifice solution
We launched our own 100% EV salary sacrifice scheme to help drivers take advantage of low company car tax for electric cars, letting businesses offer their employees a low admin, cost effective way to get behind the wheel of an EV, whilst also helping companies boost their own environmental credentials.
2022: 4.8* rated Trustpilot provider
We signed up over 2,000 businesses to our salary sacrifice scheme, and saw a 306% increase in electric car uptake in this year alone. Nearly 1,000 Trustpilot reviews later and we’re rated the highest out of all EV salary sacrifice schemes on the market.
2023: Biggest, trusted place to get Everything EV
Our goal is to become the leading provider of everything drivers need to switch to electric. We’re already well on our way, and we’ve got big plans to expand our team and get more drivers behind the wheel of an EV.

What our customers say
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.
