Ayvens vs Octopus EV
Side-by-side comparison from the PerkIQ directory. Cover, pricing, regulator status, and fit at a glance.
- Enterprise EV salary sacrifice. Salary sacrifice delivered within a wider, consultative fleet management service.
- Choice-list management. Full management of vehicle choice lists, including restricted electric-only lists where required.
- Early-termination risk cover. Risk management cover for early termination across large schemes.
- Global fleet operations. Operations across more than 40 countries for organisations with international fleet needs.
- Full EV range. New and nearly-new electric vehicles across the major makes and models on the UK market.
- Home charging bundled. Free Ohme home charger and installation, or a choice of 4,000 free charging miles via the Electroverse network.
- All-inclusive lease. Insurance for the employee and a named partner, servicing, maintenance, tyres and breakdown cover in one monthly figure.
- Early-termination protection. Cover for a range of life events so the employer is protected if an employee can no longer continue the lease.
- Renewable energy ecosystem. Links to Octopus Energy tariffs and the Electroverse public charging app for a joined-up EV experience.
- Large enterprises with significant fleet or international requirements
- Sustainability-led organisations: fleet electrification consultancy and net zero commitments
- Small businesses: the consultative, enterprise model is heavier than a focused SME scheme
- Sustainability-focused employers wanting a benefit aligned with net zero and renewable energy
- Employees with home charging: the bundled charger and energy links deliver most value to drivers who can charge at home
- SMEs through to large institutions: the scheme scales from small teams to embedded, white-label programmes
- Employees without off-street parking: home charging is central to the proposition, so on-street-only drivers see less benefit

Free for the employer to set up and run. The cost is met by the employee through salary sacrifice, and the employer can save on National Insurance.
