Electric Vehicle Leasing

New research suggests that leasing a battery electric vehicle (BEV) is 19% cheaper than financing a new vehicle on personal contract purchase (PCP). 

KR Fleet solutions analysed pricing data for its 10 most popular BEVs and found that leasing was the most cost-effective option on 9/10 vehicles. 

Kevin Rodgers Managing director of KR Fleet Solutions said: “one of the most important factors the industry faces with EVs, is making them affordable to the average consumer – this is where leasing comes in.  Without affordable options, the market won’t move over to electric vehicles at the pace required.  Luckily, with our leasing platform, consumers can find the most competitive deals on the market, saving them money. Leasing (PCH) is a the most cost-efficient way to drive a brand-new EV.”
