Fleet Evolution vs Octopus EV
Side-by-side comparison from the PerkIQ directory. Cover, pricing, regulator status, and fit at a glance.
- Day-one termination protection. Early-termination cover from day one, removing employer risk if a driver leaves.
- All-inclusive lease. Insurance, maintenance, breakdown and road tax included in a single monthly figure.
- SME and start-up friendly. Scheme structures designed to work for small and micro businesses, not just large fleets.
- Hands-on onboarding. Dedicated support for employers setting up a scheme, plus online portals for staff.
- 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.
- SMEs and start-ups wanting a specialist that understands smaller schemes
- Employers prioritising risk cover: day-one early-termination protection is a core selling point
- Large enterprise fleets: better suited to SME and mid-market employers
- 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
