Used Electric Cars Explained: Are They Worth It for Salary Sacrifice?
Used electric cars through salary sacrifice can unlock a scheme for far more of your workforce — but are they actually any good? In this webinar, Marketing Director Gaurav Ahluwalia is joined by Sarah Giles (Business Development, The Electric Car Scheme) and special guest Patrick Cresswell, Co-Founder & MD of ClearWatt, to break down what a used EV really means for your employees, your business case, and your bottom line.
What we'll cover:
How salary sacrifice saves employees 20–50% on an electric car
What's actually changed in EV battery technology since the early Gen 1 cars
Why battery degradation is a low-probability, low-frequency issue on 3-4 year old EVs — and how ClearWatt tests for it
Real pricing examples: Tesla Model Y, MG4 and BMW savings on used vs. new
Why 75% of orders from basic-rate taxpayers are used EVs — and what that means for uptake across your organisation
A live walkthrough of the ECS quote tool, including how imperfections on used cars are disclosed upfront
