Octopus Electric Vehicles (Octopus EV) has seen EV leasing enquiries rise by 36 per cent since the start of the conflict in the Middle East.

The trend doesn’t stop at cars. Last week, Octopus Electric Vehicles’ sister company Octopus Energy reported a 27 per cent jump in solar enquiries in the early days of the conflict in the Middle East, as homeowners look to take control of their energy bills.
