Ready to join the electric revolution? Let’s dive into the benefits of leasing an EV - and why iCarLease is your ideal partner.
Lower Upfront Costs & Budget-Friendly Driving
No Large Deposit, No Depreciation Worries
Due to advanced batteries and tech, electric cars often have higher sticker prices. Leasing bypasses this hurdle: you’ll pay a small initial rental (usually just 1–3 months upfront) instead of a hefty purchase deposit. For example, a Tesla Model 3 lease might start at £299/month with £1,500 upfront - far less than its £40,000+ retail price.
Why this matters:
- Preserve savings for other priorities (home charging installation, holidays, investments).
- Avoid depreciation risks - EVs lose value faster due to rapid tech advancements.
- Fixed monthly payments simplify budgeting, shielding you from interest rate hikes.
Access to Cutting-Edge Technology
Stay Ahead with Zero Commitment
EV innovation moves quickly. Leasing allows you to upgrade to newer models every 2–4 years, which offer improved range, faster charging, and more innovative features.
Latest Advancements Included:
- Extended Range Batteries: Models like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 now offer 380+ miles per charge.
- Ultra-Fast Charging: 10–80% battery in 18 minutes with 800V systems (e.g., Kia EV6).
- Autonomous Driving: Experience Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Beta or BMW’s Driver Assistance Pro.
Why settle for outdated tech? With iCarLease, you’ll always drive the latest EVs without long-term commitments.
Environmental Impact: Drive Green, Save the Planet
Reduce Emissions & Noise Pollution
Switching to an EV cuts your carbon footprint by 60–70% compared to petrol/diesel cars. Leasing amplifies this impact:
- Battery Recycling Programs: Manufacturers like Nissan repurpose old batteries into energy storage.
- Renewable Energy Matching: Pair your lease with a green energy tariff for accurate zero-emission driving.
Government Incentives:
- Plug-in Grant: Save up to £1,500 on eligible EVs (e.g., MG4 Electric).
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: Avoid daily charges in cities like London and Birmingham.
Hassle-Free Maintenance & Warranty Coverage
Stress-Free Ownership
EVs have fewer moving parts than combustion engines, meaning lower servicing costs. Lease packages often include:
- Manufacturer Warranties: Most cover batteries for 8 years (e.g., Volkswagen ID.3).
- Servicing Plans: Optional inclusive packages for tyres, brakes, and software updates.
Real-World Example:
A Nissan Leaf lessee spends ~£100/year on maintenance vs. £300+ for a petrol equivalent.
iCarLease benefit: Our partners offer 24/7 roadside assistance and courtesy cars during repairs.
Tax Advantages for Businesses & Individuals
Save Thousands with HMRC-Approved Schemes
- Salary Sacrifice: Employees save 30–60% on leases via pre-tax income deductions.
- Corporation Tax Relief: Businesses deduct 100% of lease costs against profits.
- Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) Rates: As low as 2% for EVs vs. 37% for petrol cars.
Case Study: A 40% taxpayer leasing a Polestar 2 via salary sacrifice saves £3,200/year versus buying.
Home & Public Charging Made Simple
Never Run Out of Juice
- Home Chargers: Install a 7kW wall box (grants cover 75% of costs) for overnight charging.
- Public Networks: Access 50,000+ UK chargers via networks like BP Pulse and Ionity.
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G): Earn money by returning stored energy to the grid (e.g., Ford Pro Smart Charging).
