As the UK accelerates toward a more sustainable future, electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer just a trend, they're a transformative shift in how we drive.
While new EVs often steal the spotlight, used electric vehicles are quietly becoming the most cost-effective and sustainable choice for drivers. And when paired with leasing, the benefits multiply.
Leasing a used EV combines the financial flexibility of leasing with the affordability of second-hand vehicles. Here’s why it’s a win-win:
Used EVs have already depreciated, which means leasing them comes with significantly lower monthly costs compared to new models. This allows drivers to access premium brands or higher trim levels without breaking the bank.
EV technology evolves rapidly. Leasing protects you from the risk of owning a car that quickly becomes outdated.
Even used EVs come packed with modern features—like regenerative braking, smart infotainment systems, and efficient battery management.
Leasing companies offer customisable contracts (12–48 months), optional maintenance packages, and roadside support . Many leases include MOT, servicing, tyres, and breakdown cover.
Leasing through salary sacrifice schemes can reduce Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates to as low as 3%, making EVs even more affordable.
If you’re looking for a low-cost, low-emission, low-risk way to drive electric, leasing a used EV is the ideal solution. It offers financial flexibility, access to modern technology, and a smaller environmental footprint—all without the commitment of ownership.
Whether you're a first-time EV driver or upgrading from a petrol car, now is the perfect time to explore the used EV leasing market.
