EV leasing specialist Octopus Electric Vehicles (Octopus EV), has been announced as an approved leasing partner for XPENG’s latest all-electric SUV, the XPENG G6, as the Chinese brand enters the UK market.
XPENG, one of China’s advanced technology OEMs, is the latest global brand to land in Britain. The G6 has a range of more than 350 miles and ultra-fast 800-Volt charging.
Newer entrants to the UK continue to take up market share from some of the incumbent car brands, with Octopus’ latest figures highlighting the increased prominence of EV-first brands.
The partnership means customers can access the XPENG G6 through Octopus EV’s all-in-one salary sacrifice scheme, which includes the car, charger, home energy bundle, maintenance, insurance and more – helping drivers save up to 40% compared to traditional ownership.
Alvin Castillo, Procurement Director and EV Guru at Octopus Electric Vehicles, commented: “A few years ago, there were just a handful of EVs on the market – today we can offer more than 100 different models to drivers.
“Prices continue to become more affordable, the ranges continue to grow, and newer brands like XPENG are bringing a level of innovation that is helping to push some of the better-known brands to up their game.”
William Brown, Managing Director at IM Group, XPENG UK, said: “We’re pleased to team up with Octopus EV to make the XPENG G6 even more accessible to drivers across the UK.
“The scheme offers outstanding value and makes it easier than ever for employees to choose a premium, highly specified and electric vehicle with real long-distance capability and next-generation technology.”
