Electric leasing guide – PHEV & Hybrid cars – Range is not a concern on a Hybrid or PHEV, as you have a conventional engine to back up the electric motor. However, on electric vehicles, it is really important to be sure that an electric car would meet your driving needs, both in terms of how far you drive and your driving style.
Electric leasing guide – BEV cars – With fully electric leasing, the advertised range will be impacted by several factors in the same way it would on a normal petrol or diesel car. For example, the faster you drive it and the more functions you use, e.g. lights, aircon, etc, the quicker the battery will deplete.
The key difference between hybrid and electric is that you cannot pull into the garage, fill up and be on your way 5 minutes later. Therefore, if regular journeys over 100 miles are required, an electric car lease on a vehicle with a range of over 250 miles would be suitable as long as you set off with at least 80% charge.
Electric leasing guide PHEV & Hybrid cars – the servicing and maintenance on a PHEV or Hybrid is broadly the same as a conventional car, as it still has all the same mechanical elements as a traditional car. There can be some savings due to less usage on certain parts of the car, like the brakes, due to regenerative braking technology, meaning your brake pads should wear slightly slower.
Electric leasing guide – BEV cars – because there are fewer mechanical parts on a BEV vehicle, the servicing and maintenance costs can be significantly lower. Depending on the model, this is estimated to be between 30-50% lower than it would be on a traditional fuel car. Tyres can be more expensive to replace as the tyres used are less common.
However, if you include the Servicing, Maintenance and Breakdown cover within your electric car lease, all these costs, including the tyres (and often punctures), are taken care of by the finance company.
