Your questions answered
With leasing you cover the cost of the vehicle usage rather than the purchase price which means that your money goes further.
The benefits of leasing really lend themselves to electric cars which currently tend to have higher initial purchase prices as the vehicle technology continues to evolve. Many electric car owners rent their car batteries anyway so for many people leasing the entire vehicle may be a smarter course of action.
In summary, leasing provides motorist with an opportunity to drive a state-of-the-art, electric car for an affordable monthly price.
Electric vehicles are on the cutting edge of automotive technology and are progressing quickly with new and improved models being released all the time. Purchasing an electric vehicle at this stage could mean committing money to a branch of technology that could become outdated relatively quickly.
With electric car leasing you are only locked in for the duration of the contract, so can rest assured that you’ll always be able to drive the latest and best electric technology available.
For many people, the most important reason to drive electric is to reduce their impact on the planet. With zero exhaust emissions electric cars are far less polluting than petrol or diesel vehicles.
Another major advantage is the low running costs associated with electric vehicles as the cost of electricity per mile is a fraction of the cost of petrol or diesel. And there are also several tax benefits and incentives available to electric car users which can make a big difference to leasing affordability.
Whilst the electric charger network is growing rapidly across the UK, you may also want to consider installing a home charger for maximum convenience.
To install a home charger you’ll need the following:
Rivervale leasing provide a unique service where the cost of home charger installation can be added to the monthly leasing rental. This helps to spread the cost over the duration of the contract and ensures peace of mind.
Electric cars do need servicing at the same intervals as any petrol or diesel car but a major strength of electric is ease of maintenance. Electric drive trains have far fewer moving parts than conventional engines (less things to go wrong). And consumables such as brake pads last a lot longer on electric cars which incorporate regenerative braking systems.
Electric cars are subject to an MOT after three years (same as any car) but with no emissions test required and with fewer parts to check, you’d expect far less issues than a petrol or diesel car.
