Which should you choose?
Octopus EV may suit you if home charging matters to your workforce. Employees can choose a home charger or charging credit, depending on current terms, and get access to the Electroverse public charging app.
Tusker may suit you if you want a long-established provider with a wide vehicle choice, including used cars and hybrids, and Lifestyle Protection, which limits early-termination costs for employers in most circumstances.
Both are free for employers to set up, with insurance and maintenance included in the lease. Compare the current terms and quotes from each, or speak to a broker, before deciding.
