Support your employees with electric vehicle (EV) purchase

Did you know that electric vehicle (EV) drivers are consistently more satisfied with their cars than petrol and diesel drivers (Satisfaction levels amongst the UK’s EV drivers)? From driving experience to running costs, there’s not a single aspect where petrol & diesel beats electric. What’s stopping people from switching to EVs though is the cost: it still isn’t quite affordable to an average person to buy an EV. Having an EV can save the owner thousands of pounds in the long term, but people still need to be able to afford one to enjoy the benefits.

The great news is that there is a solution. Over 5000 employers have already taken advantage of Octopus’ EV salary sacrifice scheme. The business leases the car, and the employee contributes to the costs through their salary, making EV ownership far more realistic. So start offering your employees the opportunity today. And don’t forget – on top of the benefit of climate credentials, it may have a positive effect on staff retention as over 75% of employees say they’re more likely to stay in a job with a good benefits package (Employee Benefits Statistics).

 

Octopus has been consistently awarded the “Recommended Provider” status by Which? over the last few years. So you know you're getting great service, while taking advantage of all the other benefits:

  • Boosting employee satisfaction and increasing retention rate in your organisation.
  • Reducing scope 3 emissions of your organisation by having more employees commute by EV.
  • Improving climate credentials of the organisation.
  • Contributing to the local air quality by reducing emissions generated during the commute.
  • Reducing the local noise level caused by cars.
