Get your EV
We'll order the car to be delivered straight to your door for free.
With Intelligent EV, you’re paying monthly to drive the car, without having to worry about owning it. This means you pay a fixed monthly price in return for a brand new EV. You can get a fixed term and at the end, you simply hand the car back to us.
The upfront payment is equivalent to 3 times the monthly price of your lease. It isn't a deposit and instead replaces your first monthly payment. We'll take your monthly payments from month two (as payments are made a month in advance) until the lease ends. The monthly payment amounts are calculated after your upfront payment is taken off, and so by paying the upfront payment, your monthly payments are lower.
With Intelligent EV you’ll give the car back at the end of the lease as it’s a hire plan, agreed for a certain period of time. Remember though, cars are assets that lose value, so this way you get to return the car, hassle free, at the end of your term.
Octopus Energy is offering our drivers access to an EV specific energy tariff - Intelligent Octopus Go - that allows you to charge your car with the greenest, cheapest energy. As an Octopus Electric Vehicles customer, you'll also get access to their exclusive "Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Saver" tariff, the UK's lowest EV tariff, and charge your car for 6p/kWh. In order to get onto this tariff, you’ll need to be an Octopus Energy customer, and have either a car or a charger that is compatible with the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff.
Some cars are compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go, no matter what charger you have. For others, you’ll need to install a charger at home that is compatible - check if your car is compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go here. We can help you pick and install your home EV charger with Octopus Energy Services. Find out more about charger installations here.
As part of taking an EV with us, you’ll get an Electroverse card which (once you download the app) gives you one-tap access to hundreds of thousands of public chargers across the UK and Europe. Plus, you can plan charging routes to any destination and tailor the experience to your EV.
As a bonus, Intelligent EV customers receive a 10% discount off all public charging made through the Electroverse network. See full T&Cs here.
Based on customer feedback, in Intelligent EV we've only included what we think is valuable for a smart EV driver. You’re covered for service, maintenance and repairs. This includes all servicing recommended by the car's manufacturer, any necessary MOTs, and any maintenance and repairs caused by typical wear and ageing.
There are a couple of extra things you might need that you can source competitively yourself:
1. You'll need to buy your own comprehensive motor insurance and keep that in place for the length of your lease term.
2. You'll need to cover the cost of any tyres that need replacing, and make sure you replace them with like-for-like tyres.
3. Breakdown cover is also not included in our package. (Although some car manufacturers cover breakdown as part of their warranty. You can check the manufacturer’s websites to confirm.)
4. You’ll also be liable for any fines that you may receive once you have the car, plus any excess mileage and damage above fair wear and tear when you return the car at the end.
