Octopus has launched a new one-stop-shop package of fleet solutions to help businesses electrify their fleet operations with ease.

Aimed at businesses of all sizes wherever they are on their electrification journey, the ‘Octopus Fleet’ product enables operators to mix and match Octopus’s fleet solutions; from fleet payment tools and home and public charging, through to all-around tariffs and electric vehicle charger, solar or battery installations.

The new package also incorporates Octopus’s Home Charging Reimbursement scheme – a brand-new offer that unlocks “faff-free” fleet top-ups at home.

Designed to bring fleet needs neatly under one roof, Octopus Fleet enables businesses to build their own tailored system from Octopus’s products.

These include:

• The ‘Electroverse’ charging network – said to be Europe’s largest public charging network, this unlocks one-tap access to over 1.3 million charge points globally across more than 50 countries
• Octopus’s Fleet Charging Card – enabling seamless top-ups for existing fleets transitioning to electric
• Octopus’s Visa-powered Business Payments Card – making it easy to pay, track and save on the move – from charging and meals to car washes and tolls
• EV chargers, rooftop solar, and batteries – allowing fleets to slash running costs with clean tech

Fleets can also streamline home charging with Octopus’s new Home Charging Reimbursement scheme.

Fleet drivers just plug into their compatible home EV charger and select whether the charge is for business or personal use. Octopus’s technology then automatically reimburses the driver’s energy account for all business charges each month, streamlining admin and cost control, while integrating all charging data into a single invoice for the entire fleet.

Matt Davies, director of Octopus Electroverse and Octopus Fleet, said: “Choosing an electric vehicle is easier than ever, but every business operates differently and we’ve seen that it can be a challenge to scale up electrification efforts, and to make the EV switch a no-brainer for drivers.

“With Octopus Fleet we’re offering a ‘menu’ of simple products that make sense regardless of how a fleet operates – with great options across public, home and depot charging, and for keeping your existing fleet running.”

The launch of Octopus Fleet follows the firm’s recent innovation in Plunge Pricing. Said to be a world-first, it means drivers using the Octopus Electroverse network get discounts of up to 50% for charging whenever an abundance of green energy is flooding the grid.
