Electric Van Leasing

Electric car leasing is a flexible and affordable way to drive a brand-new electric vehicle (EV) without the long-term commitment or financial burden of buying one outright. When you lease an electric car, you choose a contract term (usually between 3 and 5 years), agree on an annual mileage limit, and pay a fixed monthly fee.

The lease provider retains ownership of the car, and you simply return it at the end of the agreement. There’s no need to worry about resale value, depreciation, or the hassle of selling it later. With RightLease, your monthly payments can also include extras such as maintenance packages, giving you a fully managed and stress-free EV experience.

For many drivers, leasing an electric car is significantly more cost-effective than buying. Buying a new EV outright often involves a large upfront payment, followed by the inevitable loss of value through depreciation. Leasing removes this risk. You pay a manageable monthly fee for a set period and return the car at the end, meaning you only pay for the time you use the vehicle.

Leasing also gives you access to newer electric models with longer ranges and better tech, without the long-term financial commitment. Plus, you can often upgrade to a newer EV every few years, staying ahead of advances in battery technology and safety features. When you lease through RightLease, you also avoid balloon payments or hidden fees, everything is clear and up front.

Yes, you can lease an electric car with no deposit through RightLease. This is a popular option for drivers who want to keep their upfront costs as low as possible. A zero-deposit EV lease allows you to spread the entire cost of the lease across the monthly payments, making it easier to budget.

Approval for no-deposit leasing depends on your credit profile, but our team works with a wide panel of funders to find the right solution for you. Whether you’re looking for a personal lease or a business lease on an electric vehicle, we’ll help you access the most competitive no-deposit options available in the UK market.

Yes, modern electric cars are increasingly well-suited to long-distance travel. Many new EVs now come with real-world ranges exceeding 250 to 300 miles on a single charge, depending on the model and driving conditions. Vehicles such as the Tesla Model Y, Polestar 2, and BMW i4 are built for motorway driving, offering smooth performance, excellent efficiency, and fast-charging capabilities.

Public charging infrastructure in the UK has also improved dramatically in recent years, with thousands of rapid and ultra-rapid chargers now available along major routes and at service stations. For most drivers, long journeys in an electric car are now entirely practical and convenient.

Leasing electric vehicles for business use offers major financial and environmental advantages. One of the biggest incentives is the reduced Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax, qualifying fully electric company cars attract a BiK rate as low as 2%, making them a highly tax-efficient choice for both employers and employees.

Businesses can also deduct lease costs from their taxable profits and may be eligible for additional savings on National Insurance contributions. Beyond the tax benefits, electric cars also help reduce fleet running costs, improve corporate sustainability credentials, and provide access to low- and zero-emission zones without extra charges. RightLease offers tailored EV leasing solutions for companies of all sizes, whether you need a single vehicle or an entire electric fleet.

No, a home charger is not essential for leasing an electric car, but it does make charging more convenient and cost-effective. Home charging allows you to plug in your EV overnight and take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity rates, helping you save even more on running costs.

However, if you don’t have access to private off-street parking or can’t install a charger at home, you can still lease an EV and use the growing network of public charging stations across the UK. Workplace charging, destination chargers, and high-speed motorway chargers are widely available, making EV driving more accessible than ever.

Leasing an electric car with bad credit can be more challenging, but it’s not impossible. Approval depends on your individual financial circumstances, credit history, and affordability checks. At RightLease, we work with a broad panel of funders, including those who consider applications from people with less-than-perfect credit and we’ll always try to find a solution that works for you.

You may be asked to provide a larger initial payment or agree to a shorter lease term, but we’re happy to talk through your options in confidence and without obligation.

When your electric car lease comes to an end, you simply return the vehicle to the leasing provider. There’s no pressure to buy the car, no need to sell it, and no worries about its resale value. If the car has been returned in good condition and within the agreed mileage limit, you won’t pay anything extra.

At that point, you can either upgrade to a newer EV on a fresh lease deal, extend your existing lease if eligible, or walk away. Many customers choose to continue leasing to take advantage of newer models and improved electric car technology.
