DriveElectric adds salary sacrifice to EV expertise

THE first broker to specialise in leasing electric vehicles, DriveElectric, is now able to offer customers the option of a salary sacrifice programme.

Offering EV expertise since 2008, DriveElectric says this long-standing EV knowledge, plus its dedicated EV consultants supported by tax and compliance specialists, can assist enterprises to promote salary sacrifice schemes to employees.

The Marlow in Buckinghamshire broker said it could also organise EV test drive events. DriveElectric also offers a secure portal for employers and their employees to order, manage and track their EV.

Example of cost reductions offered by salary sacrifice for a 40% taxpayer compared with a personal lease for an employee include a £260 monthly saving on a Tesla Model Y, or a £319 monthly saving on a Porsche Taycan, according to the company.

It can also supply a home charger if needed, which can be included in the salary sacrifice package, as well as provide support with solutions for workplace charging, solar, vehicle to grid, and energy management and optimisation via its sister company CrowdCharge.

Salary sacrifice offers a wide range of compelling benefits. Bringing down the monthly cost of electric cars helps more drivers make the switch to EVs. This in turn reduces drivers’ vehicle running costs and helps employers to offer attractive benefits for their staff. Reducing emissions also accelerates an organisation’s progress to Net Zero. And this is all backed up by DriveElectric’s unique 15 years of expertise with electric vehicles.
