Hybrid Car Salary Sacrifice
A practical step towards electric, with meaningful savings from day one.
Save up to 30% on a plug-in hybrid through salary sacrifice, with lower BiK rates and the same all-inclusive package as our electric cars.
The right choice for drivers who are not quite ready to go fully electric
Real savings, even before full electrification
Plug-in hybrids qualifying for our scheme attract BiK rates of just 6 to 20%, compared to 25 to 37% for petrol and diesel cars. Combined with salary sacrifice, employees can save meaningfully on their monthly motoring costs while making a real reduction in emissions.
The confidence to make the switch
A plug-in hybrid gives you the electric driving experience for everyday journeys, with a petrol engine for longer trips. That removes range anxiety entirely and builds confidence to make the move to fully electric when the time is right.
Open the scheme to more employees
Offering hybrids alongside fully electric cars increases the number of employees who can take part.
The same all-inclusive package as our electric cars
Your all-inclusive monthly package covers everything you need to drive your hybrid.
Comprehensive insurance, underwritten by Aviva
Routine maintenance and servicing
MOTs where applicable
Tyre replacement and breakdown cover
Complete Employer Protection from day one
Please note: The Charge Scheme is not currently available for plug-in hybrid vehicles. Because it is not possible to accurately calculate which miles are driven on battery versus engine, hybrid drivers are not able to access The Charge Scheme's salary sacrifice charging savings.
How much could I save on a plug-in hybrid?
Salary sacrifice lets you pay for your car from your gross salary before Income Tax and National Insurance. On a plug-in hybrid, lower BiK rates mean the overall saving is lower than a fully electric car, but still significantly better than leasing a petrol or diesel vehicle privately.
Why plug-in hybrids make sense through salary sacrifice
The tax you pay on a car through your employer is called Benefit-in-Kind (BiK). The lower your car's emissions, the lower your BiK rate and the more you save.
Petrol and diesel cars attract BiK rates of 25 to 37%. Plug-in hybrids qualifying for our scheme attract rates of just 6 to 20%. That difference is significant, and it's what makes a hybrid genuinely worthwhile through salary sacrifice.
We only offer plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) emitting 75g/km CO2 or below. That ensures every hybrid on the scheme has enough electric range for everyday driving and delivers real savings through salary sacrifice.
Frequently asked questions
-
We set this threshold to ensure every hybrid on the scheme delivers genuine savings and a genuine environmental benefit. PHEVs at this level attract BiK rates of 6 to 20% and have enough electric range to make a real difference to daily emissions. Models above this threshold do not deliver the savings or the environmental impact that make salary sacrifice worthwhile.
-
Yes, meaningfully. While fully electric cars are the most impactful choice, plug-in hybrids with strong electric range reduce average fleet emissions and help more employees begin their journey towards fully electric driving.
-
No. Hybrid cars use identical onboarding, payroll inputs and HMRC reporting processes to electric cars. Your employer portal and account management remain exactly the same.
-
Yes. PHEVs can be charged using a standard domestic socket or a dedicated home charge point. Most fully charge overnight, giving you enough electric range for a typical daily commute.
-
No. The Charge Scheme is currently only available for fully electric cars. Because we cannot accurately calculate which miles are driven on battery versus engine for hybrid vehicles, hybrid drivers are not able to access The Charge Scheme savings. Employees who want to access The Charge Scheme should consider a fully electric vehicle.
-
When your hybrid agreement ends, you can choose any vehicle available on The Electric Car Scheme, including a fully electric car. Your dedicated Customer Success Manager can help you plan ahead.
