The Main Benefits for Employees

For employees, The Electric Car Scheme offers several key advantages:

1. Significant Cost Savings: Salary sacrifice allows you to save thousands of Pounds on any electric car of your choice. You simply agree to have a portion of your pre-tax salary deducted each month to cover the car cost.

5. Zero Upfront Costs: The scheme eliminates the need for an initial deposit, allowing employees to access a premium electric car without a large upfront payment. This makes the scheme accessible to more individuals, regardless of their financial situation.
6. All-Inclusive Leasing Package: Employees enjoy a worry-free driving experience as the scheme includes comprehensive insurance, servicing, maintenance, MOTs, tyre replacement, and breakdown cover. This eliminates unexpected expenses, making EV ownership both predictable and manageable.
7. Eco-Friendly Benefits: By choosing an electric car, employees contribute to reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. The scheme aligns with the values of employees who want to make environmentally conscious commuting choices.
