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. A small portion of people were dissatisfied with the charger installation process, finding it slow and confusing, particularly concerning the necessary groundwork and approvals. 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.

Recently placed an order and so far…

Recently placed an order and so far have been really impressed with the process, so easy and straight forward. Also, had a nice follow up call from George yesterday to go through a few bits and ask any questions I had.

switch to elec and already felt the power!

The process of ordering to delivery was so simple, clear & transparent. The car was delivered with great service and care, plus the aftercare from Robyn has been amazing service.
I'd recommend the scheme to anyone.

Simple process from start to finish!

Dealing with Kayvan from start to finish was straight forward and easy at every step.
Kayvan was knowledgeable and helped with any queries I had along the way quickly and efficiently.
It made the whole process stress free and I'm pleased to have ordered my new car through Octopus!
Thanks for making it so easy!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service, friendly and helpful without being pushy at all because who likes a pushy sales team. But Bash was great and with his help it was eady for me to place an order for a new car. Octopus keeps you informed throughout the whole process and it's easy and straightforward.

I leased a Polestar 3 through Octopus

I leased a Polestar 3 through Octopus. The car has had way too many glitches but Octopus - and particularly Sakib Nasir - have been superb. Responsive, considerate and constructive. This is what good customer service should look like.

Hargun was great

Hargun was great, listened, provided a solution and now have my partner insured at no extra charge when I didn't think this was possible.
Hargun got the license checks done super quickly and I had email confirmation within an hour. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Octopus EV enough

I cannot recommend Octopus EV enough, largely thanks to Michael. He has been incredibly supportive throughout the purchasing process. I had a lot of questions, but Michael was always patient and, most importantly, really easy to get hold of. If you want a stress-free experience, he is the person to speak to.

EV Delivery

Had a great and very supportive call from Nathan from Octopus Electrical Vehicle team following the delivery of our EV that our company has organized via Octopus.
So great to go through all my concerns, in a very relaxed nature which was so appreciated.
