Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Salary Sacrifice or vehicle leasing? We've got you covered.

Are electric vehicles more costly than traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles?

The upfront cost of an electric vehicle (EV) can be higher than that of a traditional petrol or diesel vehicle. However, the cost of electricity, depending on your energy tariff, is often much lower than that of fossil fuels. Additionally, maintenance costs for an EV are generally lower because there is no engine to service, no oil changes required, and the wear on brake pads is reduced due to regenerative braking systems. These systems help slow the vehicle down, resulting in less wear on brake pads, shoes, and discs. If you are leasing an EV through a business or salary sacrifice scheme, the government provides various incentives and tax benefits to promote EV adoption. When considering whether an EV lease is right for you, it's important to evaluate the total cost of ownership throughout the lease period to understand the overall affordability.

Are electric vehicles more environmentally friendly?

Yes, electric vehicles are better for the environment, especially when it comes to our health. They produce zero tailpipe emissions and generate significantly fewer emissions over their lifetime compared to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. Moreover, many electric utility companies use renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to generate electricity, which further reduces the environmental impact of electric vehicles.
