ELECTRIC vehicle specialist broker DriveElectric is now supplying EDF business customers with a salary sacrifice programme.
EDF customers can search, select and order an EV entirely online – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – and businesses can control and oversee salary sacrifice electric vehicle leases using DriveElectric’s EV Hub.
DriveElectric has partnered with energy firm EDF since 2019.
The Marlow-based broker has dedicated consultants to advise about electric cars, supported by tax and compliance specialists, and an on-call team to answer any questions. It will also assist organisations to promote salary sacrifice schemes to employees, and can organise EV test drive events.
Cost reductions offered by salary sacrifice compared to a personal lease for an employee include a £206 monthly saving on a new MG4 SE, or a £210 monthly saving on a new Kia Niro 2 Nav, for a 40% taxpayer, says DriveElectric.
A Pod Point 7kW Solo 3 home charger can also be included in the salary sacrifice package.
At EDF, we’re on a mission to help everyone go net zero by making it easier for customers to save cash and CO2. So we’re delighted to announce the launch of our salary sacrifice offer with DriveElectric. This latest initiative gives the employees of our business customers the ability to drive a brand new EV and have a Pod Point home charger fitted with significant savings, as well as to charge their vehicle using our zero carbon GoElectric tariff.
Diana added that the business was already pleased with the “exceptional service” provided to EDF’s personal and business leasing customers, and was excited to be extending the relationship to its SME customers.
Working in partnership with EDF since 2019, together we pioneered one of the first EV lease, charger and tariff propositions. Our expanded partnership now allows EDF business customers to drive an EV cost-effectively through salary sacrifice, and our new online system puts them in charge of the car selection and ordering process.
Salary sacrifice is showing astonishing growth. Latest figures from Q1 2023 show that the salary sacrifice market grew 41% year-on-year, with 91% of registrations pure electric.
