Employers are now fully protected from day 1
Electric car salary sacrifice schemes have become well known as the most affordable way to get into an electric car. However, concerns still exist within businesses as to the costs and practicalities of implementing one, with risk of early termination fees among the areas holding them back.
For example, in the event that an employer needs to make an employee redundant, the company could incur a fee equal to 50% of the remaining car lease costs. This could amount to tens of thousands of pounds. Taking significant financial risks, even when offering substantial benefits, is often seen as a blocker for a company to offer a salary sacrifice scheme to employees. Recent research conducted by The Electric Car Scheme found that 90% of businesses believe that there is a significant risk in having an electric car salary sacrifice scheme as an employee benefit.

Early termination means returning the car to the leasing company before your lease period ends, and this can happen for different reasons. These reasons might include getting a new job, taking sick or parental leave, or even your employer ending your employment early because of issues like an accident, misconduct, or redundancy.
No matter why it happens, ending your lease early can be costly. Why? Well, typical car lease agreements run for 1, 2, 3, or 4 years, so ending it prematurely means breaking a contract, which can result in fines and penalties.
The good news is that The Electric Car Scheme providers Complete Risk Protection to shield you from these costs when such situations arise.
