Octopus Energy has launched into Germany its electric vehicle (EV) business, Octopus Electric Vehicles.
Following the success of Octopus Energy in Germany, which has more than 800,000 customers, Octopus is now stepping into the automotive arena.
German drivers will soon be able to get their electric car, home charger, access to the world’s fastest-growing roaming service, Octopus Electroverse, and the smartest energy tariff all in one seamless bundle.
The firm’s Intelligent Octopus smart tariff means that drivers could save up to €450 annually compared to a standard tariff by automatically charging when energy is cheapest and greenest.
In the UK, the company has also led the way on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, turning cars into mobile power stations that feed electricity back to the grid at peak times.
Partnering with global EV giant BYD and Zaptec, Octopus announced the ‘Power Pack Bundle’ earlier this summer, allowing drivers to effectively charge for free.
Those same innovations will be making their way to Germany soon, it said. Around 125,000 V2G-ready cars would be able to power the city of Munich for an hour, as an example.
Octopus Electric Vehicles’ German offer will be open to customers in early 2026.
Fiona Howarth, Founder and Director of Octopus Electric Vehicles, commented:
“Germany is a powerhouse in the automotive industry, and the home of some of our most-loved EV brands.
“With shared values around great technology and reliable, trusted service, we wanted our European debut to be in Germany.
“Our offer takes the stress out of going electric – we make it simple, affordable, and green. 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.”
