Great Service from Octopus EV

Great Service from Octopus EV. My first venture into EV driving has been smooth and easy. Car delivered quickly and charger installed without any fuss. Daz has been very helpful with all of the information I need throughout the process.

Brilliant Customer Service

This is the second car I've had with Octopus, I picked an in stock car and because of unforeseen circumstances I wanted the car quickly. I have to say both Octopus and Mercedes Benz in Glasgow got all of the paperwork done quickly and were extremely helpful at all stages. So far my experiences with Octopus EV (over the last 3 years too) have been nothing but positive, and the staff are all friendly and helpful.

The Customer Service was exemplary

The Customer Service was exemplary. From start to finish, the communication, professionalism, and flow of information was above and beyond. My original car developed a fault last minute, so Octopus gave me an equivalent courtesy car until the issue was resolved. I cannot fault them and cannot rate them highly enough. Charlie, at Octopus, was first class. Thank you.

Smooth, Stress-Free and So Impressive!

My experience with Octopus Electric Vehicles has been everything I expected and more – absolutely amazing. From start to finish, the whole process was smooth, professional and genuinely enjoyable.

The little touches, like the welcome box and mats, made it feel extra special and really show how much care the team puts into their service.

A huge thank you to the entire Octopus team for your outstanding support throughout – you truly deliver exceptional customer service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you!

Oh where do I begin

Oh where do I begin.

Thought I was over having to engage with Octopus. Car arrived , charger finally installed after a near 6 month delay, over that hurdle.

Then the car develops an issue. It’s a new car its under warranty. A quick fix surely. Octopus website directors you to fill out a form - web form wont submit hitting the button doesn't work. See there’s a phone number - call that thinking I’ll explain the issue and they’ll book it in with the manufacturer. No they will email me back.

Asked to have it looked at while I wait. They responded days later with an email saying thats not an option they can provide and that I would have to drop it off. I said tell me where and I can confirm - a week later they confirm an appointment for 9 days in the future 20miles away.

Now email asking if I’m getting a replacement vehicle during that time. I mean if I’d just bought the car myself I would have been able to just take it to my local dealer

Reply from Octopus Electric Vehicles

Good Morning Simon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve faced especially after already dealing with the delay to your charger installation. I can completely understand how disappointing it must feel to then encounter further issues when your new car developed a fault.

We’re currently reviewing the timeline of what’s happened to better understand where we could have acted more quickly and communicated more clearly. We’ll also be in touch directly to discuss further and help resolve this matter.

Thank you again for raising this with us your feedback is genuinely important and helps us improve the experience for our customers.

Kind regards,
Sid

A quick, friendly, helpful experience ordering new EV

The communication was great throughout the whole process from ordering to delivery. Delivery was a little over a month from ordering.
I had an issue uploading one document but they chased up and I was able to upload second time around.
Service was helpful and friendly.
The delivery guy sat with me, explained how the car worked and it's features. Also went through the charging process, I was grateful for his patience. Overall a very positive experience.

Seamless, Fully Automated Experience

I've just taken delivery of my OMODA E5 on a personal lease and I can't praise Octopus EV enough! From application to delivery, it was all automated and very easy to navigate. It did take a lot longer to be delivered, but I think that was down to the dealership rather than Octopus EV. A big shoutout for Rocky (Customer Operations Specialist) for providing first-class customer service! She would always respond to my emails quickly and her honesty was appreciated!

Great advice

Jamie was so helpful, he asked loads of questions to ensure I chose the right vehicle for me and he wasn't pushy, did not rush me into a decision, and allowed me time to make my decision.
