Best Electric Car Lease Deals

The best electric car lease deals in December 2024

Electric car leasing is an affordable way to get behind the wheel of a brand-new EV. You’ll be doing your bit for the planet, and your wallet, with zero-emission driving and reduced running costs.

And with a wide variety of competitive electric lease deals across all the biggest brands (and the smallest!), from Tesla to Polestar to Fisker to BYD and beyond, you’re sure to find the right deal for your lifestyle and your budget.

With the ability to tinker your terms to suit you, it couldn’t be easier to drive away in your dream electric car lease.

It’s especially good news if you’re hankering after an electric car business lease. Not only do EVs fall into the lowest Benefit in Kind tax brackets, saving you a lot of cash compared to their petrol or diesel counterparts, but they’re often cheaper to run.

It’s a win all around.

You can even save £30 off the price of a new electric home charger, thanks to our partnership with British Gas. It couldn’t be easier to make the switch to electric driving.

Volkswagen ID.7

Factory Order

The latest addition to VW’s all singing, all dancing, all electric ID. range, the Volkswagen ID.7 takes the very nice ID.3 and elongates it into a saloon that really does nail the basics.

With its sleek, aerodynamic looks and roomy cabin, the VW ID.7 is a competitive entrant into the electric saloon market, with its rivals including the Kia EV6, Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2.

If range is your biggest worry when it comes to electric leasing, the VW ID.7 has you covered, with even the entry-level Pro models coming with a 77kWh battery and claimed range of 384 miles. If that’s not enough juice for you, the top spec VW ID.7 Pro S comes with a mammoth 86kWh battery and claimed 435 miles of range.

Pretty good stats, pretty good car.

Polestar 2

In stock now for quick delivery

Polestar once built racing cars for Volvo, but they’ve since branched out. Since 2019, they’ve been single-handedly (or four wheel-edly) conquering the electric world, starting with the Polestar 2.

What a start it was.

And still is. Built to rival the Tesla Model 3, the Polestar 2 brings a little Scandi common sense and a lot of Swedish minimalist design to the EV game. In fact, it’s the perfect place to indulge in a coffee and sweet pastry with a friend or two.

Or fika, as it’s known in Sweden.

With its 2023 revisions, the Polestar 2 now has a WLTP Comb range of up to 406 miles (model dependent), making it a real contender for a more upmarket EV.

Volvo XC40

In stock for quick delivery

Volvo’s second smallest SUV, the Volvo XC40 is quick, agile and practical.

With its bold styling and chunky SUV lines, the XC40 is as easy on the eyes as it is to drive. The cabin and exterior are both design-led, with the digital displays and high-quality materials creating a relaxing and upmarket interior.

Volvo’s SUV range is going through a little shake up at the moment, with the XC40 Recharge (the electric model) being renamed the EX40 to bring it in line with the EX30 and EX90. But – for the moment – we still have a deal available on the Volvo XC40 Recharge, so you can drive a new EV for less.

With a WLTP Comb range of up to 332 miles, a spacious interior and plenty of safety kit, the Volvo XC40 makes an excellent option for your next Volvo lease.

Hyundai Kona

In stock for quick delivery

The all-electric Hyundai Kona boasts high levels of comfort and practicality that are matched only by its excellent performance and affordable price tag.

It’s available with a choice of two powertrains: the Standard Range with the 64.4kWh battery and 234 miles of range, and the Long Range with its 65.4kWh battery and claimed 306-mile range.

The Kona EV rivals the Kia Niro in both size and range, making it a competitive choice if you’re after a family SUV.

Vauxhall Astra Electric

In stock for quick delivery

Would you believe that the Astra is now in its eighth generation? The classic family vehicle has been knocking around in some guise or another since 1980, and the electric Astra is its latest regeneration.

We like it when a brand takes a well-known, well-loved model and converts it from combustion to electric. It’s a proven formula, and when it’s done well, it really works. And Vauxhall are particularly good at it, having turned both the Mokka and the Corsa into very good EVs.

The Astra is no exception to the rule.

Visually, there’s no difference between the Astra Electric and the combustion engine version – other than the lack of an exhaust. It comes with a decent 54kWh battery for a WLTP Comb range of 258 miles, which is pretty good for an EV of this size and price.

And with its comfortable cabin and pretty spacious boot, it’s well worth some consideration for your next electric lease.

Volkswagen ID.4

In stock for quick delivery

You’re not short of electric choice if you’re looking at a Volkswagen lease.

Since the launch of the VW ID.3 in 2019, Volkswagen has launched EV after EV at us, each one tackling a different area of the market and bringing a VW flavour to the electric game. 

The Volkswagen ID.4 is VW’s electric SUV, and it’s a very nice one indeed. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage to hide away all of your odds and ends (snacks, toys, coins – you name it, there’s space for it).

It’s a stylish and very practical vehicle, with a claimed range of up to 322 miles depending on the battery size. If you’re looking to make the switch top electric, the VW ID.4 is a good place to start.

Tesla Model Y

In stock

The Tesla Model Y has become a pretty ubiquitous sight on our roads over the last year or so, and its popularity doesn’t seem to be waning.

And for good reason.

Featuring a distinctive ‘bubble’ roof and sleek lines, it’s deceivingly large. With an 854L boot, plus additional front trunk and enough space in the cabin to seat five tall adults quite comfortably, the Model Y is supremely practical.

With a competitive WLTP Comb range of up to 331 miles (model dependent), the Tesla Model Y is an absolute winner if you’re looking for something reasonably affordable with a premium finish.

Volvo EX30

In stock for quick delivery

The baby of the Volvo SUV line-up, the Volvo EX30 offers the same premium experience in a compact package.

We say compact. It’s still a fairly sizeable car, spacious enough for a small family and all their everyday baggage. But, unlike some of the larger Volvo SUVs, you’ll have no issues parking this one in the tighter spaces.

Why are there only ever tiny spaces left when you just want to dash into town and run a quick errand?

We digress. The Volvo EX30 might be the smallest Volvo, but it’s certainly still mighty. And with a WLTP Comb range of 214 miles, it’ll get you there and back again with ease.

BYD DOLPHIN

Delivery from 4 weeks

The toddler of the BYD line-up, the BYD DOLPHIN proves that good things really do come in small packages.

It was the first to launch in BYD’s trio of ocean-inspired cars (with the SEAGULL and the SEAL bookending it), and offers compact electric driving in a very attractive package. The DOLPHIN comes in a range of interior and exterior colours, including four two-toned numbers as well as pink, purple and white.

And it’s not just fun on the outside – the surprisingly spacious cabin comes in a range of colours too, including a very nice pink and white option.

The DOLPHIN also has an excellent claimed mileage for its size, with a WLTP Comb range of 265 miles. You certainly won’t end up beached in this DOLPHIN, with rapid charging speeds perfect for public charging on longer journeys.

Nissan Ariya

January Delivery

The latest EV to come from the brand that put affordable electric driving on the map, the Nissan Ariya is an excellent choice for your next electric car lease.

It’s a big step forward from the old Nissan Leaf, both in terms of style and the stuff that’s gone under the bonnet.

Nissan have essentially taken everything they’ve learned in the last decade-and-a-bit the Leaf has been on the market, and packaged it up into a very nice electric car.

With a WLTP Comb range of up to 315 miles (model dependent), it’s an excellent choice if you need something to cope with the school run/work commute, plus holidays, plus tip runs, plus whatever else life wants to throw at you.

How does electric car leasing work?

Electric car leasing (also known as Personal or Business Contract Hire) is an easy way to drive your favourite car for an affordable monthly payment.

All you have to do is pick the terms of your contract – your annual mileage limit, how long you want to lease the car for, and how much you want to pay upfront – and you’re good to go. You’ll pay a fixed monthly fee for the duration of your contract, and when it’s over, you simply hand the car back to your funder and you’re free to move on to a new car.

It’s a hassle-free way to drive the latest cars, which – especially in the world of EVs, where new and exciting tech is being released yearly – means you’ll be able to stay up to date.

And you don’t have to worry about depreciation and losing tons of money when it comes to selling your car on. That’s all handled for you.

Sounds good, right?

Which electric car is right for me?

If you’re unsure on which EV is right for you, there’s a few things you can consider when deciding which electric car to lease.

Like any car, you want to make sure it’s suitable for your lifestyle. Most things – size and monthly cost – remain the same whether it’s fuelled by petrol, diesel, electricity, or pulled by an ox.

If you’ve got a big family, you’ll want a big car. Something like the Tesla Model Y or BYD ATTO 3. If you just need a little town runaround, you’ll want to look at something like the Fiat 500e or Volkswagen ID.3.

But, unlike with a combustion engine car, you’ll want to consider the range of the electric lease deal you’re looking at.

If you can recharge your car easily at home or at work, and you don’t often find yourself on long journeys up and down the country, you should be fine with most EVs. But if you do a lot of long motorway drives, you’ll want to go for something with a larger range to minimise the amount you’ll need to stop and recharge.

However, with electric ranges improving all the time, you’ll find that most EVs are suitable.
