Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their helpfulness, responsiveness, and extensive knowledge, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Many people highlight the exceptional customer service, noting that agents are understanding, communicative, and go above and beyond to resolve issues. The delivery service is frequently mentioned as efficient, with cars often arriving earlier than expected, and the overall user experience is described as seamless and straightforward. However, some customers also noted issues with delivery delays, with a few experiencing multiple postponements and a lack of clear communication regarding the reasons. A small portion of people were dissatisfied with the charger installation process, finding it slow and confusing, particularly concerning the necessary groundwork and approvals. Additionally, some reviewers felt that the company's internal departments were poorly coordinated, leading to a fragmented experience and the need for customers to chase multiple teams for information.

Excellent Customer Service

I have been through a very long journey ( not yet complete) of getting desired EV on salary sacrifice with Octopus EV . Having booked a car and to be told it will be delivered after 4 or more months, I was frustrated. So I just dropped a note to the team and in spite of the case being handed over to operational team, Bryony stepped in with a prompt response and provide potential options to overcome the issue. Her pragmatic and transparent approach and strive for customer satisfaction helps resolve any issues. Thanks a lot for your efforts and dedication.

Absolutely fantastic service from Rocky!
Right from the start she has been incredibly responsive, friendly and helpful.

Had a slight issue with the online tracker changing dates several times but Rocky jumped straight on it when I brought this up and managed to secure me my vehicle before the scheduled delivery date, on the same day I raised my concerns! You can’t ask for better service than that!

Thank you again, Rocky!

Believe the hype!

Believe the hype!
I am very happy with my new EV. Octopus made the process from start to finish really easy. I opted for an approved used car through the salary sacrifice scheme. Octopus (especially Charlie!) kept me informed throughout the process and then followed up a week later to make sure I had everything that I needed.

Our first EV

We were first tempted to a ev from a link in their app and spent a fair time perusing the choices. When we finally decided to order we were contacted by Yosola from Octopus EV who took us through the process, gave us time to digest all the information and was there to answer any and all questions we had. We were kept in the loop at all times and when we did have a question she came back to us immediately. We spoke to her last on the day of delivery and its comforting to know that if needed she is still there. Thank you Yosola for making our first EV a good experience.

New EV lease through Octopus

Really friendly, proactive communications from Nicole, Tobi and the team throughout the process of setting up our new EV lease through Octopus.
They were responsive to the questions I had and I felt very supported.
Nicole followed up after the car had been delivered to make sure I was satisfied and to check if I had any more questions.

Charlie - Standout support and guidance

This is my second time dealing with Octopus and namely Charlie, he's been a great help with this particular order, no matter how hard I made it for him.

I'd highly recommend the Octopus team and especially Charlie.

Don't do salary sacrifice

After 20 years of leasing cars, this has to be the worst company I've had the pleasure of dealing with. This was the 1st time I've done a salary sacrifice and will no doubt be the last. For a start, they fail to mention the small fact that you have zero consumer rights, as this is classed as b2b transaction. So if you have a car with issues as I did, where it has been out of action for over 2 months, you will get a replacement that they deem suitable (ie somthing with 4 wheels).

Consumer protections would have allowed me to hand the car back, especially with the dangerous nature of the issue.

Communication during this period was poor, with the only fast response being that they would not be paying out any additional gesture.

Reply from Octopus Electric Vehicles

Hi David,


Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear about the experience you've had with your vehicle repairs, the replacement vehicle supplied and the communication surrounding this. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

I've requested your details through Trustpilot so that I can reach out to you to discuss this in more detail. This isn't the experience we want you to have and are committed to turning this around for you.

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@octopusev.com if you have any questions.

Best wishes,
Ellie
