Electric Car Leasing FAQs | All Your EV Questions Answered

Electric car leasing involves renting an electric vehicle (EV) for a set period, typically 2-4 years, with fixed monthly payments.

You choose an EV, agree on lease terms such as duration and mileage, make regular payments, and return the car at the end of the lease term.

Benefits include lower running costs, tax incentives, reduced Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rates (for company car drivers), and the ability to drive a new, eco-friendly vehicle.

Yes, businesses can lease electric cars, often benefiting from lower BIK rates, government incentives, and reduced fuel and maintenance costs.

A wide range of EVs is available for lease, from compact city cars to luxury SUVs, each offering different ranges and features.

This really depends on the current offers in the market. However, if the lease payments are similar to petrol or diesel, the overall cost of leasing an EV can be lower due to reduced fuel and maintenance costs, and potential tax benefits (for company car drivers).

A typical lease agreement includes road tax, manufacturer’s warranty, breakdown cover, and optional maintenance packages.

A good credit score can help secure better lease terms, but options are available for those with varying credit histories.

Yes, new businesses can lease EVs, though they may need to provide additional documentation like management accounts.

We work with multiple leasing companies that consider all types of businesses, including those trading for as little as 3 months, with supporting documents.

Yes, individuals can lease EVs, provided they meet the leasing company’s credit requirements and provide necessary documentation.

Initially, we only require a quick application form and a copy of your driving licence. But, sometimes you may be required to provide documents like proof of address, income, and, for businesses, financial statements and registration details.

Yes, some leasing companies offer plans for those with poor credit, though you may face higher payments or larger initial deposits.

A credit check assesses your financial reliability and ability to make lease payments, influencing the terms and approval of your lease.

An electric vehicle (EV) is powered entirely by electricity, using an electric motor and battery instead of a traditional internal combustion engine.

EVs can be charged at home using a standard outlet or a dedicated home charger, as well as at public charging stations located in various places like parking lots, highways, and shopping centres. We highly recommend having a charger fitted at home if you plan on buying or leasing an EV, which we can help arrange for you.

The range of an EV depends on its battery capacity and efficiency. Modern EVs typically offer ranges from 150 to 400 miles on a single charge. We display all range data on our offers.

Charging times vary based on the charger type and battery size. A standard home charger may take 8-12 hours, while fast chargers can provide an 80% charge in 30-60 minutes. We display all of the charge times on our offers.

Yes, EVs are generally cheaper to run due to lower fuel (electricity) costs and reduced maintenance requirements, as they have fewer moving parts and no need for oil changes.

EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. They also contribute to lower noise pollution.

EVs require less maintenance than conventional cars, as they have fewer moving parts. Regular checks on the battery, electric motor, and associated electronics are essential.

Regenerative braking is a feature in EVs that recovers energy during braking and uses it to recharge the battery, enhancing efficiency and extending the vehicle’s range.

Yes, modern EVs offer comparable, if not superior, performance with instant torque, smooth acceleration, and quiet operation.

Yes, many governments offer incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and grants to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles. Check the gov website or get in touch for up-to-date incentives.
