Businesses are increasingly ready to make the move to electric vehicles.  While the purchase price is generally a bit higher than their diesel or petrol counterparts, many people have caught on that the leasing costs of an electric vehicle are actually very similar to diesel or petrol.  The running costs are substantially lower when you consider recharging compared to diesel/petrol and then there is the added benefits that the low/zero emissions reduces both road tax and the bill employee’s receive in relation to their benefit in kind tax.  It quickly becomes clear that leasing an electric car is a pretty good deal all round.  The next question becomes – which one to pick from and with this being one of the fastest changing markets at present, we thought it might help to give an overview of a few of the most popular models available at the moment. The cost of leasing an electric car will be higher than a traditional petrol or diesel car but the overall whole life costs balance out over the leasing period.
