Used electric vehicle (EV) leasing and how it can save you money
What the LEXperts say
EV batteries are designed to be resilient and durable – lasting between 15 and 20 years before they need replacing. Used EVs can be an ideal entry point for fleet managers who require a sustainable and cost-efficient transit solution.
Why you don't necessarily need a new EV
Leasing a used EV is a cost-effective way to reduce your fleet’s impact on the environment and prepares your organisation for the future, when all new cars must have zero-tailpipe emissions. Monthly payments are lower than if you lease an equivalent new model, and there could be tax savings too.
Flexible 12-month contracts allow fleet managers to test EV integration with minimal commitment, enabling efficient evaluation of vehicle performance and driver satisfaction before long-term adoption. One agreement amounted to a 15% discount compared with leasing a new car.
With many customers upgrading, our range of used vehicles has more options than ever. Additionally, with our own stock of used EVs available, we can typically deliver the chosen vehicle within a few days once the contract terms have been agreed.
EV batteries are shown to outlast their vehicles, with their range degrading by an average of just 2.3% annually. EVs have far fewer components so need less maintenance than petrol or diesel vehicles. Plus, regular advances in battery technology have made EVs safer and more robust.
All used EVs are rigorously tested and assessed
All our used EVs are rigorously tested and assessed to make sure they meet our high standards. Our engineers conduct thorough inspections, covering a range of diagnostics including battery health and mechanical performance. This makes sure that every part of the car is functioning as it should before we lease it to another customer.
Our vehicles typically have less than 50,000 miles on the clock and are less than four years old, providing peace of mind that you're getting a reliable and well-maintained EV. With our comprehensive assessment process, you can be confident that all our used EVs have a clean bill of health and are ready for the road.
Choosing used EVs for your fleet not only offers cost savings but also helps support your sustainability goals. Research shows that EV drivers rarely switch back to petrol or diesel vehicles, a great endorsement of the all-round experience.
