Hybrid and Electric Car Leasing – Explore our Best Deals

Car leasing is a long-term rental agreement offering the exclusive use of an electric car for a set period of time at a fixed monthly price. At the start of a contract, you pay an initial rental, usually equivalent to three monthly payments.

You then make regular, fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract term, typically two, three or four years, to use the vehicle. At the end of the contract, you can hand the vehicle back or choose to purchase the vehicle, depending on the type of contract taken.

There is no difference in how the contracts work. Whether you choose to lease a conventional petrol or diesel car with us or choose electric or hybrid car leasing, the lease agreement works in exactly the same way.

You pre-agree parameters like the term, annual mileage, initial rental amount and the type of contract you want (personal leasing or business leasing) then pay a fixed monthly rental for the use of the vehicle during the period of the contract.

By choosing electric or hybrid car leasing, you can enjoy the benefits of electric cars, such as zero emissions and lower running costs, as well as the benefits of hybrid cars, which include reduced fuel consumption and emissions compared to traditional vehicles. This makes both options cost-effective and environmentally friendly choices.

If you have a dedicated home charger installed it should have a cable attached, which you can plug into your vehicle. The plug can be positioned at the front of the vehicle, the side, or even where the petrol tank would be on a normal car. They can also be plugged into a standard 3-pin plug – but long charge times and lack of safety features makes this bad practice. 

To charge your electric car in public areas like supermarkets or retail parks, you’ll need to bring your own charging cable, and at times, depending on your vehicle, download a smartphone application.

If you're on a budget, there are a wide range of electric cars to lease for a low monthly rental. 

Whether you're after a small city EV or an all-electric family hatchback, our handy Top 10 Cheapest Electric Cars guide lists a great range of electric cars to lease for cheaper than you may think.

It's purely up to you whether to install an electric charging point at your home. Most EV drivers prefer to charge their electric vehicle at home throughout the night to take advantage of lower electricity costs and wake up in the morning to a fully-charged vehicle, however, this is a personal choice.

If you're unable to, or would prefer not to have a charging point installed at your home address, you can charge your vehicle at one of the many public charging points across the UK, or speak to your employer about having a charging point installed at your workplace.

With public charging points increasing all the time, the easiest way to find your nearest electric vehicle charging point is to check out or download the Zap-Map app to see what EV charging points are available to you in your local area. 

Put simply, the range of an electric car is how far the car can travel on a single charge. Most pure electric vehicles can travel over 150 miles with ease on a single charge, although some newer models offer a range of 300 miles or more. 

If you’re worried about the range of an electric car, our Electric Cars with the Longest Range guide should help ease any concerns you may have.

Just like a conventional petrol or diesel car that needs refuelling, if you’re nearing the end of the charge in your electric vehicle, it’s time to find a charging point as soon as you can.

There are loads of public charging points in the UK so chances are you’ll be able to find a charge point close to you. If not, a breakdown recovery service like the AA or the RAC should be able to help you on your way.

Yes, just like a petrol or diesel vehicle, electric and hybrid cars still need servicing and an MOT on a regular basis.

Fortunately, with fewer moving parts than a conventional petrol or diesel car, servicing costs can be significantly cheaper on an electric and/or hybrid vehicle, helping you save money on running costs, including electric car maintenance. You can find out more in our Electric Car Running Costs guide.

The cost of insuring an electric vehicle is based on a number of factors including the age of the driver, location, driving history (including any points or driving convictions), as well as the make and model of the vehicle.

Therefore, it's difficult to determine whether an electric vehicle is more expensive to insure than a conventional petrol or diesel vehicle.

In our Electric Car Running Costs guide, we found the insurance group of an electric vehicle to be like that of its petrol/diesel counterpart, however it's always worth running insurance prices before committing to an electric car lease to ensure it's right for you.

We offer a wide range of electric cars from leading manufacturers, including Tesla, BMW, BYD, Kia, Volkswagen, Nissan, and more.

Popular choices include the Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal, Kia EV6, and Cupra Born. Availability depends on current stock and funder supply, so check our electric car leasing deals for the latest availability.

Yes. Every electric car has an official WLTP-tested range, and you can filter our lease deals by model to find one that suits your driving needs. For example, smaller city cars may offer around 150–200 miles, while larger models such as the Tesla Model Y can exceed 300 miles on a single charge.

You can find the vehicle range at the top of every vehicle card or on the individual vehicle pages.

Lease terms typically run from 24 to 48 months, with annual mileage allowances starting from 5,000 miles and going up to 50,000 miles per year with certain funders. Choosing the right mileage and contract length will help you avoid excess charges and keep your monthly payments tailored to your lifestyle.

We don’t add hidden fees and all standard costs are clearly set out in your agreement. Your monthly payments cover the vehicle, road tax, and manufacturer’s warranty. Additional charges could apply if you exceed your agreed mileage, return the vehicle with damage outside fair wear and tear, or end the contract early. Running costs such as insurance and charging are your responsibility.

We’re committed to complete transparency, making sure every cost is clear from the moment you browse our website, right through to signing your finance agreement.

You have the right to cancel within 14 days of signing your finance agreement.

Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, helping to reduce air pollution. By switching from petrol or diesel, you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint and contribute towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Electric cars also qualify for a discounted London Congestion Charge, helping to save you money in the long term. 

There's two main schemes to know about. The EV Chargepoint Grant covers renters and flat owners with private off-street parking, offering 75% off the cost of a home charge point, with up to £500 per socket.

There's also the Electric Car Grant, which provides a discount of up to £3,750 on brand new, fully electric cars priced at or under £37,000. When leasing, this discount is applied to the monthly lease price already, contributing to affordable payments for the duration of your lease term. 

At the end of your contract, your electric car will be inspected against the BVRLA’s fair wear and tear guidelines. Minor marks are usually acceptable, but significant damage (such as dents, scratches, or interior issues) may incur additional charges. To avoid unexpected costs, we recommend regular servicing, maintenance, and reviewing the wear and tear guidelines before collection.

Regular servicing is part of your lease obligations and helps keep the car in good condition, but it will not prevent charges for accidental damage
