Octopus EV is coming to Germany

• Octopus Electric Vehicles (EV) to launch in Germany to power drivers’ switch to electric
• Drivers to save up to €450 a year charging through Octopus’ smart EV tariffs
• Plans to bring game-changing vehicle-to-grid offers to Germany soon

Octopus EV is coming to Germany. From early 2026, drivers can sign up online and get their electric car, charger installation, and Octopus Energy tariff all arranged in one simple step.

It builds on the success of Octopus Energy in Germany, which now boasts more than 800,000 customers, and will supercharge EV adoption with simplicity, affordability, and state-of-the-art tech.

Octopus EV is not just another leasing option. German drivers will soon be able to get their electric car, home charger, and access to the world’s fastest-growing roaming service, Octopus Electroverse.

And with Octopus’ market-leading Intelligent Octopus smart tariff, drivers charging from home could save up to €450 annually compared to a standard tariff by automatically charging when energy is cheapest and greenest.

Since launching in 2018, Octopus EV has grown to become the UK’s leading 100% electric vehicle leasing company, helping more than 35,000 UK drivers make the switch to electric.

We are shaping the future of energy too. In the UK, we are leading the way on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, turning cars into mobile power stations that feed electricity back to the grid at peak times. Offered as part of our 'Power Pack Bundle', it allows drivers to effectively charge for FREE. All they have to do is plug in and set the schedule for how much charge they need and by when, and Octopus takes care of the rest. 

Those same innovations will be making their way to Germany soon, marking the next step toward an energy system powered by cars as much as by power plants.

Roughly 125,000 V2G-ready cars would be able to power the city of Munich for an hour, showing the huge potential of unlocking the power in batteries on wheels to help make energy cleaner and more flexible.

Fiona Howarth, Founder and Director of Octopus Electric Vehicles, commented: “Germany is a powerhouse in the automotive industry, and the home of some of our most-loved EV brands. 

“With shared values around great technology and reliable, trusted service, we wanted our European debut to be in Germany.

“Our offer takes the stress out of going electric – we make it simple, affordable, and green. Together with Octopus Energy, we’re bringing German customers cutting-edge technology, the cheapest green power, and the chance to be part of the energy system of the future.”
