What Green Car Guide readers ask us
-
For most people, yes, and by more than the headline lease price suggests. You pay from gross salary, so the income tax and National Insurance you'd have paid on that money goes towards the car instead. That's where the 20–50% saving comes from.
The bit the comparison articles often miss is what's inside the monthly figure. With The Electric Car Scheme it's the car, insurance, servicing, maintenance, breakdown cover, tyres and a home charger, in one payment. Put that against a petrol car's finance plus insurance plus fuel plus servicing and the gap is usually wide.
New and used EVs are both available, so if a brand-new car doesn't make the maths work, a two-year-old one often does.
-
No. Charging is the running cost that decides whether an EV is cheap to live with, so we built The Charge Scheme to put it through salary sacrifice too.
Employees pay for charging at home, at work and on the public network from pre-tax salary, saving 20–50% on every kWh. If you're on an off-peak home tariff already, this stacks on top.
It's the only salary sacrifice charging scheme in the UK, and it's included when an employer runs their car scheme with us.
If you're on an off-peak or EV tariff already, this stacks on top.

This is the question that stops most people, and it's the one most schemes answer badly.
Ours covers the life events that actually happen: resignation, redundancy, dismissal, long-term sickness, parental leave, divorce, a partner losing their job, an involuntary pay cut, moving abroad with work. When circumstances change, you return the car. No early-termination bill for you and none for your employer.
Most providers cover a short list with exclusions and caps. We cover it from day one with no small print, which is why HR teams who've been burned before switch to us.
-
Nothing. When employees sacrifice salary, the business pays less employer National Insurance. Our fee is set to match that saving, so the scheme is cost-neutral from month one.
Admin is handled for you: payroll adjustments, HMRC reporting, P11D values and compliance. Your finance team gets a dedicated account manager and a monthly file, not a new job.
If you're an employee reading this: that "no cost" line is what makes the conversation with your HR team an easy one. We'll give you the one-pager to send them.
Complete protection if an employee’s circumstances change
The biggest barrier to EV salary sacrifice has never been the maths. It’s been the what ifs.
Ours is the only scheme that covers the life events employers have always worried about: long-term sickness, divorce, a partner's redundancy, an overseas company move, an involuntary salary cut. When circumstances change, employees return the car. No penalties.
If you're an employee, this is why you can say yes without worrying. If you're in HR or Finance, this is the version you can take to your CFO.

Frequently asked questions
-
You're in the majority. Most UK employers haven't set one up yet, and most that have did so because an employee asked.
Tell us who to speak to and we'll take it from there, or download the one-page summary and forward it yourself. It covers the cost (none), the protection and the admin, which is everything HR and Finance ask about. Typical time from first call to employees ordering cars is four to six weeks.
-
A 15-minute call, then a decision. There's no setup fee, no minimum uptake and no exclusivity. Our fee matches your employer NI saving, so the scheme costs nothing to run whether five people or five hundred take a car.
You're protected from day one against early-termination costs across every life event listed above, so there's no contingent liability to explain to the board. We'll send the employer agreement after the call so you can read it before anyone signs anything.
-
Very little. We handle the payroll deductions file, HMRC reporting, insurance, maintenance and the employee side entirely. Your team approves orders and runs the deductions we send. Most clients spend under an hour a month on it.
-
Any electric car on the UK market: new, used or subscription, from small hatchbacks to premium models. We work across the major leasing companies rather than one, which is how we get the best price on each car rather than the best price from one supplier.
-
Three things. We only do EV salary sacrifice, so price and service are the whole business, not a side line. Our employer protection covers more life events than any other scheme, without exclusions. And we're the only provider that puts charging through salary sacrifice as well as the car.
