Exclusive: Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson talks electric cars (and bikes), energy pricing and much more

Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson joins The Independent to talk all things electric – from how Octopus started to how it became the UK’s biggest energy company.

Jackson joined The Independent’s electric vehicles editor, Steve Fowler, for a drive around London in an all-electric Citroen e-C5 Aircross and talked about the dynamics of Octopus switching from being a challenger brand into being challenged. He explains how energy pricing works and what Octopus is doing to promote green energy.

And, of course, the discussion moved on to EVs, what Jackson drives (and rides), why people should switch to electric cars and his choice of music to sing along to in the car.
