The whole process of ordering my EV has been very straightforward. The website is easy to use and clear and I worked with Charlie at Octopus EV's who was very helpful and not pusy in the slightest. He helped me with all of my queries and numerous re-quotes to get to my ideal vehicle. I'm currently waiting for the vehicle to be delivered but so far everything seems to be on track.
5 Stars for the prompt service and EV car delivery
I am thoroughly impressed with Octopus EV, as they have exceeded my expectations. I recently acquired my first electric vehicle through their Salary Sacrifice scheme, and the entire process was seamless from start to finish.
My initial interaction was with Josh, who provided a detailed explanation of the schemes and their benefits. Despite my numerous pre-sales questions, Josh was patient and thorough in addressing every query. Once I decided to proceed, Lewis efficiently managed my order with exceptional professionalism.
The response time to my inquiries was remarkably quick, and the entire process was handled smoothly, culminating in the delivery of my EV without any issues. I am delighted with the service and would confidently rate Octopus EV a well-deserved 5 stars.
Harry our coordinator gave us answers to all our questions, got back to us quickly when we contacted him with queries. Another member of staff picked up our email when he was on holiday and the whole service felt very connected. Our car was delayed several times and he kept us up to date. The service was not to be faulted and it is good to know that the contact is available even after delivery.
The installation of the charger was very efficient and the installers were polite, tidy and respectful

Low touch and simple. From the initial point of finding the right EV to receiving delivery and everything in between, the process was easy, simple and I was kept up to date at every step. Fatimah, the representative, assigned to me was very helpful, very responsive and and did exactly what she said would every single time.
Octopus were very helpful when I was deciding to go for a new EV. Communication was good across the whole process which I might add was very simple and east to deal with.
The experience with Sakib was brilliant no one else
After issue he is the one who is addressing my requirements but then he was restricted
Thank you Sakib
The consultants i dealt with, Amy & Lydia, were amazing throughout the whole process from initial quote to contracts assigned, to order and then delivery were amazing. They always came back to me on any questions I had, and I had a lot!!. The communication from Octopus during the whole process was very efficient, and for my first electric vehicle lese contract made everything simple and did exactly what they stated. I'm extremely happy with my new electric Mercedes EQA
Communication..this provided a very smooth pathway on this journey for me ...team members were very knowledgeable,friendly, and polite. Thank you Octopus...
Having ordered an EV with Octopus, the entire experience has been great, everything went like clockwork. Everything happened when I was told it would happen and have now received my new EV. All staff I encountered were extremely helpful and friendly. Special thanks to Tom!
After dealing with a few different agents in the beginning, it settled down when Pankaj took over and managed the process impeccably from beginning to end
I recently took an EV lease from Octopus.
Right from placing the order to delivery of the vehicle was a smooth process.
Unfortunately the car which was delivered had a number of problems and had to be returned a couple of days later.
This is when I experienced the efficiency of the fantastic customer service at Octopus EV. Debbie Atug was incredible working behind the scenes to secure a replacement vehicle. I was kept informed throughout the process and I am very pleased to have received a much better vehicle at the end.
Thanks to Debbie and all at Octopus EV team 😊
Although there were some delays with a transfer of a car - I found Victorien excellent to deal with, clear communication and went above and beyond to help. Robin pre-sales was excellent also. And driver line quick to help also.
New damage appeared between collection and the final damage appraisal that they are trying to charge me over £1000 for.
On collection an appraisal was done which I signed for. 2 days later after their final damage appraisal they are trying to charge me for a new windscreen due to some scratches that have suddenly appeared.
These scratches were not there on collection, the person collecting checked the windscreen and only flagged a small chip which had previously been fixed by octopus.
I’m returning the car due to redundancy, I can’t afford to pay £1k for someone else’s damage.
I certainly won’t be getting an octopus EV at my next company.
Every single person I spoke on the phone or emailed throughout the process of ordering my EV was an absolute joy. Jonathan and Ali especially. Perfectly helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you
From my initial enquiry to the moment the car was delivered, the entire process was seamless and efficient. Despite speaking with several different team members along the way, everyone I dealt with was consistently friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable—which gave me real confidence as a customer. I’m genuinely impressed with Octopus EVs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering leasing an electric car.
Easy process.
The whole process was undertaken on line, I hadn't even taken a test drive, but the process of leasing an EV car through my company with Octopus was very easy, with people on hand to answer any questions I had.
Helpful videos are provided to teach you all about your new vehicle, the charger and how to handle public charging.
Tom (Charger Installer) and Shaniece (Customer Ops) were very helpful (and patient!) and their service didn't stop once the car was delivered and the charger installed, I know I can contact them if I have any questions or problems.
I now have a very lovely EV Car, something that I never thought I could afford and it was a pleasure dealing with Octopus.
