As part of taking an EV with Octopus EV, we offer either:

  1. a free Ohme ePod (untethered) home charger with a standard installation and up to 4,000 miles worth of energy (£60) added to your Octopus energy bill as a credit, when you switch to the Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Saver tariff or Octopus Go tariff, or
  2. £600 of Electroverse charging credit.

Employees make savings on their tax and personal benefits when they switch to an electric car under our salary sacrifice scheme.

The payments come straight out of the employee's gross pay, which reduces their monthly salary. Because of this reduction in salary, there is a subsequent reduction on income tax and national insurance payments.

Money that you'd normally never see (because it goes straight out of your pay to HMRC) actually goes straight towards your electric car payments.

If you were leasing a car out of your net monthly payments (your salary after tax), you'd be paying your taxes and paying your car payments too. That's why it works out so much cheaper to get an electric vehicle through our salary sacrifice scheme.

It's no secret that there are supply chain challenges across the world at the moment for new cars, including EVs. But we’ve pre-ordered the most popular cars, either by reserving factory build slots with manufacturers, or buying cars that have already been made, so we can get you in one sooner. Your delivery timescale will differ depending on which make and model you go for, and how customised you want the car to be.

In short, no.

But Octopus Energy customers do get loads of great freebies. For example, when you lease a car with us and switch to the Intelligent Octopus Go EV tariff you'll get 4,000 miles of free home charging. Plus, as an Octopus EV customer, you also get the added benefit of Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Saver - saving you an extra 1p on cheaper overnight/off-peak rates.

You'll get a free Ohme ePod (untethered) charger with standard installation no matter who your energy provider is through our salary sacrifice scheme, or ultimate EV package.

If you're going to do most of your charging on the road and opt for the 4,000 free miles of charging with Electroverse, you'll get this no matter who your energy provider is.

No, employees don’t pay anything up front for their EV. They simply pay an agreed monthly amount through their salary. Payments begin once the vehicle is on their driveway.
