Octopus Energy Launches Octopus Fleet to Streamline EV Transitions for UK Businesses

Octopus pitches a single-supplier model to cut fleet admin, speeding corporate EV adoption.

Overview

  • Octopus Fleet debuts as a mix-and-match bundle for businesses, combining public charging, home-charging reimbursement, fleet payments and optional on-site installs under one commercial offering.
  • Access includes Octopus’s Electroverse roaming network, which the company says spans more than 1.3 million charge points across over 50 countries.
  • The new home-charging reimbursement lets drivers tag sessions as business or personal, with monthly credits to the driver’s energy account and a single consolidated fleet invoice; pricing is listed at £9.50 per driver per month.
  • Payment tools feature the Octopus Fleet Charging Card for top-ups and a Visa-powered Business Payments Card to cover broader expenses such as parking, tolls and meals.
  • Companies can commission depot chargers, rooftop solar and battery systems through the service, and Octopus cites fleets as accounting for nearly one in four new UK EV registrations in 2024.
