Is it expensive to lease an electric car?

Electric cars can be more expensive to lease compared to diesel and petrol cars, but leasing is the most affordable way to drive a brand new electric vehicle. Many workplaces and councils offer free charging, which can help you save money that you would otherwise spend on fuel. Fully electric cars are also exempt from paying tax until 2025, which can further help reduce the overall cost of driving an electric car. Plus, if you drive through a clean air zone or London’s low emission zone , you won’t have to worry about paying any congestion zone charges.

Which electric car should I lease?

If you’re confused about which electric car to lease, you should consider your budget, how long you want to drive the car for and what your expected annual mileage is likely to be. Answering these questions will help you shortlist the best electric cars to suit your day-to-day driving needs at a price you can afford.

How does leasing an electric car compare to financing?

Leasing an electric car has various benefits when compared to financing. At the end of your leasing contract, you simply return the car. This means you can upgrade to the latest tech and avoid paying any balloon payment that might be owed if you were on a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) contract and decided to buy the car at the end of your term. There’s also no hefty initial deposit like there is with PCP. With leasing, you can choose how much you want to pay upfront at the start of your contract and that will be your initial payment. Finally, with leasing, you get the flexibility of choosing how many miles you’ll be driving in a year, so if you specify that you drive fewer miles, your monthly payments can end up being cheaper.

Can I lease a used electric car?

No, we don’t offer used cars on lease, but you can explore thousands of used cars to buy on Auto Trader .

Is it worth leasing an electric car for my business?

Leasing makes driving a brand new electric car, which can typically be expensive to buy outright, more affordable. Leasing an electric car now gives you the opportunity to get behind the electric revolution before the ban on diesel and petrol cars goes ahead in 2030 and to reduce your car’s carbon emissions. With more and more manufacturers focusing on electric cars, the tech, the range and the charging speeds available are quickly improving which means if you lease an electric car, you can regularly upgrade as the technology continues to evolve. And finally, there are lots of savings to make if you drive an electric car including saving on fuel costs, paying zero vehicle excise duty till 2025 and avoiding the congestion charges in clean air zones and low emission zones.
