Silverstone sees uptick in EV sales to business and private customers
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE-BASED leasing broker Silverstone Leasing says it is seeing growth in the market for EVs from both business customers – as you would expect – and from private customers.
Silverstone Leasing Account Manager Tom Bailey (pictured) said: “We’ve certainly seen a higher drive towards electric. There’s a lot of incentives out there in terms of the actual rentals coming down and we’ve seen a few exceptional deals to attract buyers.
“Add to that the fact that people are watching the pennies more and electric vehicles still do make good sense for a lot of people because there are fewer running costs.”

Developed from existing core FleetCheck technology, FleetCheck Enterprise adds features including bespoke workflows, custom integrations and enhanced service level agreements, plus access to high level management expertise.

With FleetCheck Enterprise, we’re essentially formalising our offering in this sector with a product that is suitable for almost any large fleet scenario.”
