Octopus adds Dacia Spring to sal-sac scheme for £195 per month

Octopus Electric Vehicles is offering the Dacia Spring via its salary sacrifice scheme for less than £200 per month.

The company has placed an initial order for 50 vehicles and says it will monitor demand before ordering more.

Under Octopus’ scheme, drivers are provided with everything they need to take the road within one price – including the car, installed home charger, insurance, maintenance and access to Octopus Electroverse, a charging roaming service with access to over 850,000 chargers, paid for with one card and app.

Alvin Castillo, head of procurement at Octopus Electric Vehicles, said: “New EV models are hitting UK roads every month, providing drivers with a choice to help find the car that is the right fit for them. Being able to get a new electric car for less than £200 a month is a gamechanger – opening up clean, affordable driving for drivers that previously wouldn’t have been able to switch.”

The Spring is one of the most affordable electric cars on sale, with a list price of £14,995.

It comes with a choice of 46PS or 66PS motors, offering a range of 140 miles (WLTP).

Luke Broad, Dacia brand director for the UK, added: “With such an affordable price and compact size, we knew the Spring would be perfect for many fleet customers. We love that leasing via Octopus Electric Vehicles makes switching to an EV so easy and accessible, allowing more UK drivers to get behind the wheel of a highly efficient and usable car at a very attractive cost.”
