Electric Car Leasing

When leasing an electric vehicle, a few factors have to be taken into consideration. Firstly, your weekly mileage. With all lease agreements, we ask for your annual mileage, however, with an EV, it is important to be aware of your weekly and daily mileage.

Secondly, charging. If you live in a block of flats and are unable to charge at your property, it is important that you have an alternative way to charge your vehicle. This could be at work or via the public charging infrastructure.

There are also different types of charging connectors. Some offer rapid-speed charging, giving up to 80% charge in less than 30 minutes. Though this is down to the vehicle you lease and whether your local network is capable of this.

There are a few ways to charge your electric vehicle. The first is using a standard 3-pin connector that you plug into a standard UK plug socket. This is usually a trickle charge and can take up to about 9 hours depending on the model.

If you are looking to charge at home but with faster speeds, it could be worthwhile to invest in a wall box. Companies such as Pod Point are able to quote you and fit you an external box giving you up to 10x the charging speeds of a 3-pin plug. You can read more about charging at home here.

The fastest charging speeds will come from rapid-chargers on the public network.

These are capable of charging an equipped EV from 0-80% in just 15 minutes!

Using ZapMap, you are able to locate your nearest public charging station.

On average, a public rapid charger costs 63p/kWh which is roughly £19 for every 30 minutes of charging, meaning it will cost around £25-£30 for a full charge.

Depending on individual home electricity tariff will impact the cost of charging at home. Many providers split their tariffs between daytime and night time, making it cheaper to charge overnight when electricity usage is at its lowest.

If you are unsure how much it might cost to charge at home, speak with your energy provider for more information.

With any vehicle, electric vehicles still require regular maintenance. However, with EVs, there are less moving parts without an internal combustion engine.

It is important to use qualified technicians who are capable of maintaining electric vehicles as it is still a new technology.

When working with batteries, correct procedures must be followed to reduce the risk of damaging the vehicle.
