Electric cars in the catalogue
All prices are "from" prices. What you are quoted can move with availability, which supplier the car comes from, its age and exact specification, and how long you take it for. What binds is your written quote.
No cars match those filters
Nothing in this category matches that combination. Widen one filter — or tell us the car and the dates, and we will go and find it.
What you are hiring
Electric leasing covers every battery-electric car in this catalogue, on the same terms as everything else here: a six-month minimum term, two months up front and then one a month, with 12,000 miles a year included. The car is delivered to your address rather than collected from a counter. The one thing worth settling before it arrives is where you are going to charge it.
Almost nobody takes their first electric car knowing whether it will fit their life, and almost everybody finds out in the first fortnight. What decides it is rarely the car. It is whether you can plug in where you sleep, whether the journeys you actually make are the journeys the range covers, and whether fifteen minutes at a motorway charger reads as a nuisance or as the coffee you were going to stop for anyway. Six months is the length of term that answers those questions honestly. It is long enough to take in a cold month, a long trip and at least one occasion when the charger you were relying on is broken, and short enough that finding out the answer is no has not cost you a car. That is the case for leasing one rather than buying one, and it is why this page exists on its own rather than as a footnote on the SUV lander. The cars themselves sit across several segments — there are electric saloons, electric performance SUVs and lighter electric machinery in the catalogue — so this is not a page about one kind of car. It is a page about one decision, taken before the kind of car is chosen, and it is the decision that goes wrong most often. Everything below is the practical detail that decides whether it goes well: what to arrange before delivery, what a British winter does to the range figure, what the car is actually like once the novelty has worn off, and what none of it changes about the agreement itself. The terms are the terms whether the car burns petrol or does not.

What should you sort out before an electric car is delivered?
Charging, in that order of priority: home first, work second, public third. A wall-mounted home charger on a single-phase domestic supply typically delivers around 7kW, which fills most cars comfortably overnight. A three-pin lead is far slower and is a top-up rather than a way to fill a car, and it should never run through an extension reel. If you rent, or if the parking is shared or on-street, an installation needs the freeholder's or the council's agreement and that takes longer than the delivery does — start it before you enquire rather than after. Set up accounts on the two or three public networks that cover your usual routes while you are at it, because standing at a post creating an account in the rain is the moment people decide they dislike electric cars.
How far will an electric car go in a British winter?
Less than the official figure, and the gap is widest exactly where you notice it most — a cold, wet motorway run with the heating on. Cold slows the chemistry and warming the cabin draws real power, so treat the quoted range as a fair-weather maximum rather than a plan. Two habits claw much of it back. Preconditioning the cabin while the car is still plugged in spends electricity you are not carrying, and setting the navigation to a rapid charger lets most cars warm the battery on the way so it will accept a fast charge when you arrive. On a long winter journey, plan two shorter stops rather than one long one: charging slows markedly as the battery fills, so two stops from low are quicker than one to full.
What is an electric prestige car like to live with?
Quiet in a way that changes the character of a fast car — the performance arrives without theatre, instantly and in near silence, which some drivers love and some find hollow by the second month. One-pedal driving takes about a day to learn and is genuinely restful in traffic. The weight is the part nobody mentions: a large battery adds several hundred kilograms low down in the car, which helps it feel planted, hurts it in quick direction changes, and works the tyres harder than an equivalent petrol car would. Practically, most have a flat floor and generous rear legroom, and some add a front boot. The servicing burden is lower, though a term of six months rarely reaches a service either way.
Does an electric car change how the lease works?
No. It is the same agreement as every other car on this site: a six-month minimum term, two months up front and then one a month, with 12,000 miles a year included and a pence-per-mile charge beyond it stated on each car's page. The mileage allowance is not adjusted for fuel type. Electricity is yours to pay for, exactly as petrol would be. What differs car by car is what comes with it — ask at the enquiry stage which cables are supplied, because a car that arrives without the lead you need makes for a poor first evening. Deposit, insurance excess and driver criteria are set per vehicle and are provisional, and the insurance arrangement is confirmed with you before anything is agreed. A business lease is available; how a business should treat it is a question for your accountant rather than for us.
The driver criteria, the refundable deposit and the insurance excess differ car by car — see driver requirements for what is checked and how delivery works.
If this is not quite the car
Plug-in hybrids
A plug-in hybrid pairs a petrol engine with a battery big enough to drive on alone, so short journeys can be electric and long ones need no planning.

All-wheel-drive cars
All-wheel drive puts power through all four wheels instead of two, which is why it is the majority layout in this catalogue: it launches hard in any weather, copes with a wet or frozen morning, and makes a very powerful car usable on an ordinary road.

Luxury SUVs
Luxury SUV leasing covers the four and five-seat performance SUVs — the class that carries people and luggage, copes with a gravel drive or a wet January motorway, and still reaches 62mph in around four seconds in its quicker forms.

Electric cars leasing — common questions
Do you supply the charging cables?
Ask at the enquiry stage, because it varies by car. Most are delivered with at least one lead, but which one — a type 2 for home and public posts, a three-pin for emergencies — is not something to assume. Whatever is coming with the car is confirmed with you before delivery rather than discovered on the driveway.
Can I run one entirely from a three-pin socket?
For a light week of short journeys, possibly. As a plan for six months, no. A domestic socket adds only a small fraction of a large battery overnight, so you would spend the whole term slightly behind. Treat it as the fallback when you are away from home, plug straight into a wall socket rather than an extension reel, and arrange something faster where the car sleeps most nights.
Does the mileage allowance change because the car is electric?
No. Twelve thousand miles a year, the same as every other car in the catalogue, with the excess-mileage rate stated on each vehicle page. If your year looks more like eighteen thousand, say so when you enquire and we will price the extra mileage into the quote rather than settle it afterwards.
Is an electric car sensible for regular long-distance driving?
It is workable, and it asks for a little more thought. The number that matters on a long run is not the size of the battery but how fast the car will take a charge and how long it holds that rate before tapering — a smaller battery that charges hard can be quicker door to door than a large one that does not. If most of your months involve several long motorway legs, say so when you enquire and we will be straight about which cars suit that and which do not.
Tell us the car and how long. We’ll confirm the figure.
The car you want, roughly how long, and the town you are in — that is all we need to start. Someone here comes back with the monthly figure and the whole cost, initial payment, deposit, excess and mileage included.
