Octopus Electric Vehicles, part of UK-based Octopus Energy Group, said it will launch an electric vehicle leasing service in Germany in early 2026, combining cars, home chargers, and access to its smart energy tariffs.
The new package will integrate the company’s Electroverse charging network, which provides access to more than one million charge points globally, and its Intelligent Octopus home tariff that offers reduced charging costs during off-peak hours. Customers will also be able to lease EVs directly, with options for both individuals and fleets.
The company said vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services, already offered in the UK, will be introduced in Germany at a later stage. These allow EV batteries to feed electricity back into the grid during peak demand periods, turning cars into distributed energy storage units.
Octopus expects customers to complete the process of registering, securing an EV lease, installing a home charger, and signing up to the energy tariff through a single application.
“Our offer takes the stress out of going electric – we make it simple, affordable, and green,” said Fiona Howarth, founder and director of Octopus EV. “Together with Octopus Energy, we’re bringing German customers cutting-edge technology, the cheapest green power, and the chance to be part of the energy system of the future.”
