Why lease electric?
If you're looking to migrate your fleet from petrol and diesel vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EV), not only are you doing your bit for the planet, but you and your organisation can also benefit.
As EV adoption becomes more mainstream and electric cars and vans become increasingly available the costs are reducing rapidly and there is now a wide variety of benefits and vehicle options for drivers looking to make the switch to an electric car.
From the environmental impact to the savings you and your company can make on fuel, tax and maintenance costs, there’s never been a better time to Go Electric.
Lookers Leasing has been providing leasing and fleet management services since 2006. It has grown to be an established FN50 leasing company with a wide customer base of both corporate and public sector clients. Offering all brands and models to anywhere in the UK working with any size of organisation.
Advantages of going Electric
As we push towards Net Zero, it’s important for you to consider the environmental impact of your fleet, its current greenhouse gas output and how the adoption of electric vehicles will decrease those emissions.
We advocate Whole Life Cost Analysis as it allows you to build up a picture of what each vehicle is actually going to cost you. Whole life cost will allow you to procure your vehicles in a pence per mile format rather than a headline rental, making sure you’re in control of the costs when migrating from ICE.
- Benefits All Stakeholders
There’s a thumbs up across the board. Drivers see a reduction in BIK and their private fuel bill and your organisation can see actual cost savings. One example of this is a reduction in National Insurance paid, and alongside this environmental policies can be realised and promoted.
With the eyes of the world on the climate crisis, adopting electric vehicles could boost your business’ reputation and standing by visibly operating a zero emission vehicle scheme.
- R & D improvements in Technology
As the focus from OEM’s hones in on increasing their volume of electric vehicles produced, the impact of this for the end user is an electric vehicle is no longer a (first adoptor with an out of reach price point) luxury. As battery production increases in volume so does the range output, allowing for fleet mileages to be achievable.
There’s a number of benefits to going green. Some of these include the UK Plug-in Car grant, access to clean air zones, 1% Benefit in Kind (BiK) and reduced National Insurance contributions.
