Fruit in the office, or EV on the driveway? We know which one we’d stick around for. Your team get the car, charger and energy all in one, saving up to 40% with Octopus Electric Vehicles. Simple setup, minimal admin, maximum reward for your people.

​

How does it work?

Octopus Electric Vehicles salary sacrifice scheme is an employee benefit that allows your team to access a range of electric vehicles with no upfront cost.

As the employer, you lease the car package on behalf of your employee. Your team member gets to drive a brand-new electric car using part of their gross salary - making savings on Income Tax and National Insurance.

Employees will pay a small amount of company car tax (Benefit in Kind), which is a fraction of the cost of their hybrid, petrol or diesel counterparts, making EVs a financial no-brainer!!

It’s win, win. You get to supercharge your employee benefits package while supporting your journey to net zero - PLUS your team can make some huge savings.

It costs nothing to set up and is easy to run. No catch. Just great value. And yes, it’s open to businesses of all shapes and sizes.
