Thinking of Leasing an Electric Vehicle? Here’s What to Expect

Advanced Vehicle Contracts • December 8, 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) are revolutionising transportation, offering a greener and more sustainable way to drive. For first-time EV drivers, the switch can seem daunting, but Advanced Vehicle Contracts makes the transition simple with tailored EV leasing solutions.

Overcoming EV Challenges

Switching from a petrol or diesel car to an EV comes with unique considerations:


  • Range Anxiety: The fear of running out of charge is common but increasingly unnecessary. The UK’s expanding charging network and advancements in battery technology make long-distance EV driving more convenient than ever.
  • Upfront Costs: Buying an EV outright can be pricey. Leasing offers a cost-effective alternative, giving you access to the latest models without a large initial payment.



At Advanced Vehicle Contracts, we’ll guide you through these challenges to help you make a confident choice.

Why Lease and EV?

Leasing is ideal for first-time EV drivers, combining financial flexibility with the environmental and technological benefits of electric driving.

Advantages of Driving an EV:

  • Zero Emissions: Reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Lower Running Costs: Charging is often cheaper than petrol or diesel.
  • Cutting-Edge Features: EVs come equipped with advanced safety, infotainment, and driving technologies.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Fewer moving parts mean fewer repairs.
  • Government Incentives: Benefit from grants and perks designed for EV drivers.

Why Lease with Advanced Vehicle Contracts?

  • Affordable Entry: Manageable deposits and monthly payments.
  • Access to New Models: Enjoy the latest EV features.
  • Flexible Plans: Tailored agreements to suit your lifestyle and mileage needs.
  • No Depreciation Hassle: Return your car at the lease’s end.
  • Optional Maintenance Packages: Cover routine upkeep for stress-free driving.

  1. Choose Your EV: Select from a wide range of models, from city cars to family SUVs.
  2. Set Your Budget: Customise your deposit and monthly payment plan.

Picture this: you’re cruising down the M1, the hum of your engine replaced by a near-silent whirr, your fuel gauge a distant memory, and your wallet thanking you for skipping the petrol pump. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, it’s not a fantasy, it’s the reality of leasing an electric vehicle (EV) in 2025, and it’s no surprise why more UK drivers are making the switch. From jaw-dropping savings to eco-friendly vibes, EV leasing is the trend that’s got everyone buzzing. Let’s dive into why it’s taking off and how it could be your next smart move. The EV Boom Is Real Electric vehicles aren’t just for tech geeks or tree-huggers anymore. Last year, EVs made up over 20% of new car registrations in the UK, and that number’s only climbing. Why? For starters, the government’s pushing hard for net zero, with plans to ban new petrol and diesel car sales by 2035. Add in congestion charges, Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) popping up in cities like London and Birmingham, and skyrocketing fuel prices—going electric isn’t just trendy, it’s practical. At Advanced Vehicle Contracts, we’ve seen enquiries for EV leases double in the last 12 months alone. People aren’t just curious; they’re ready to commit. Savings That Hit Different Let’s talk money—because who doesn’t love a good deal? Leasing an EV often costs less per month than you’d think. Sure, the upfront price of buying an electric car can sting, but with leasing, you sidestep that altogether. Take the Nissan Leaf or MG4 EV—both are wallet-friendly options we offer at AVC, with monthly payments that rival traditional petrol cars. Then there’s the running costs: charging an EV at home can cost as little as £5 for a full battery, compared to £50+ for a tank of unleaded. Businesses get an extra perk too—tax breaks and VAT reclaim options make fleet leasing a no-brainer. Switching to electric could slash fuel bills big time, and we’ve got the numbers to prove it. Driving Into the Future EVs aren’t just about savings—they’re a blast to drive. Ever felt the instant torque of a Tesla Model 3 or the smooth handling of a Polestar 2? It’s like upgrading from a flip phone to a smartphone. Plus, the tech is next-level: think touchscreen dashboards, over-the-air updates, and range anxiety becoming a thing of the past with batteries now pushing 300+ miles on a single charge. At Advanced Vehicle Contracts, we’ve got a lineup of EVs that’ll suit everyone—from zippy city runabouts to family-friendly SUVs. Fancy a test drive? We can sort that out. The Green Factor Let’s not dodge the big one: climate change. The UK’s all-in on cutting emissions, and driving electric is one of the easiest ways to do your bit. No tailpipe, no guilt—simple as that. Pair that with more charging stations popping up (over 50,000 nationwide last count), and it’s never been easier to go green. It’s not just about the planet either—it’s about driving something that feels forward-thinking. Why Lease, Not Buy? Here’s the kicker: leasing an EV makes more sense than buying one outright. Tech moves fast—today’s cutting-edge battery could be old news in five years. Leasing keeps you flexible, letting you upgrade to the latest model without the hassle of selling. Plus, with AVC, you don’t have to sweat the details—maintenance packages and mileage options are all sorted to fit your life. Whether you’re a business owner needing a fleet or a solo driver after something slick, we’ve got your back. Ready to Plug In? Electric vehicle leasing isn’t just a trend—it’s the future rolling into the present. With lower costs, greener creds, and a driving experience that’s hard to beat, it’s no wonder the UK’s jumping on board. Curious about what an EV could do for you? Swing by Advanced Vehicle Contracts at avcgb.co.uk —we’ll hook you up with a deal that’s as electric as the cars themselves. Let’s get you behind the wheel of tomorrow, today.
