Here at Current Car Leasing we get often get enquiries about Electric vehicles, often the revolve around the range, how to charge, and what they cost.
Reading through an article earlier today by the CEO of The Society of Motor Manufacturer and Traders (SMMT), we found the content both interested and reassuring.
The article characterises the massive complex multi-billion pound transformation that is in progress, to build the vehicles, add the charging infrastructure, remove fossil fuel legacy, and align other areas such as taxation and policy, both vehicle policy but also overall manufacturing strategy.
In general consumers express concern about the relatively high cost of EVs though this is very clearly trending downwards. Here are some examples of electric car leasing deals for less than £350 a month !
There is also concerns about the used EV market, though if you are leasing a new EV this should not impact you too much, and might present an opportunity to lease a Used EV at a competitive price, in the future. Work is ongoing to provide accreditation connected to battery life, and alongside range concerns, we think these will gradually reduce in the consumer’s mind.
The article references the EV facts initiative which aims to provide a balanced, data led view of EV motoring in a digestible format. It was encouraging to note that 9 out of 10 people who had swapped to EV, had no intention of going back.
Below you will find some examples of great deals we have on Electric Cars at Current Car Leasing.
