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.

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 recently had an issue and raised a complaint, and I just want to highlight the outstanding support I received from Emma Sears the Vehicle Operations Specialist. From the moment she picked this up, she was professional, understanding, and genuinely committed to putting things right.
She kept me fully informed throughout, handled everything efficiently, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. She also arranged for my car to be booked in and went the extra mile with a gesture of goodwill, which was really appreciated.
It’s rare to come across customer service that feels this personal and proactive. Emma is a real credit to the team, and I’m very grateful for the way she handled everything.

The process of ordering and receiving my car was flawless and efficient from start to finish. Aaron was my octopus representative throughout and kept in touch and kept me informed of developments. He made sure I was given up to date information and knew what was happening at every stage.

As both a Company Director responsible for selecting an EV salary sacrifice scheme and an EV salary sacrifice driver myself the Octopus has surpassed my expectations at every stage has been of the highest level. The set up and ordering process was simple, efficient and customer support unparalleled .
I especially would like to thank Tanisha who's support through the entire order process showed such a high level of knowledge, engagement and professionalism

I couldn't be happier with the level and quality of service provided by Octopus Electric Vehicles so far. From ordering, delivery, and aftersales customer support. Fantastic.

Dealing with a complaint

To be fair, I had been completing online forms to request both a change of plate and termination of the agreement. However, I did not receive any confirmation that these had been received or were being processed.

I followed up by writing to various departments on most days and also made several phone calls, but did not receive a response. I then escalated the matter to the CEO, and that same afternoon I received a call from Sid. Within a few days, he had everything resolved for me.

Sid kept me informed at every stage of the process, which I found extremely helpful.

Exceptional

From point of ordering to receipt of my lease vehicle I have had all my questions answered, relevant departments involved at the right times to progress each section (car/charger/ordering/delivery) with asking and answering the right questions. I’ve had direct responses answered and everyone trying to be helpful.
James M dealt with me and was great

Fantastic service car selection was easy explained really well and never had to wait long for an answer. Car arrived weeks earlier than anticipated so one very happy customer. Due to my property I was not able to take the free charger option being on a looped supply and no driveway. But I got £800 credit straight to my public charging account . Brilliant wouldn’t expect anything less from Octopus.

Credit where credit is due

Credit where credit is due. As a slow adopter to new tech and a leasing vehicles, I was very impressed with the Octopus process. Robyn Martin resolved all my queries quickly and efficiently which gave me the confidence to proceed with ordering a new vehicle. The whole process was very swift and efficient, and selecting a pre-ordered vehicle meant I had the car here in 3 weeks which is ideal given the current cost of Diesel.
Only note of caution for any salary sacrifice is to do your own homework on the BIK and gross costs to check you are happy to avoid surprises. Octopus do advise this and its sound advice.
Overall, really happy so far.

Fantastic Experience

I had a fantastic experience with Octopus Electric Vehicles from start to finish. The whole process was smooth and well organised, with excellent communication throughout. Any questions I had were answered promptly, which made everything feel straightforward and stress-free.

The drop-off service in particular stood out. The driver kept us informed along the way, so we always knew what to expect, and was friendly and professional on arrival. They also took the time to give us a thorough run-through of the car, which was really helpful and appreciated.

Overall, a brilliant service! Efficient, clear, and genuinely customer focused. I’d happily recommend them to anyone considering an electric vehicle.

Thanks Tobi, super customer service!
