A Cost Neutral, Low Risk Benefit that Makes Business Sense
Finance & Fleet Professionals
Finance and Fleet leaders need certainty, not surprises. The Electric Car Scheme gives you a salary sacrifice solution that’s protected from day one, simple to run and proven to generate real savings for your business.
Confidence from Day 1: Complete Employer Protection
In a recent survey we conducted we learnt that 92% of Finance professionals believe EV salary sacrifice carries a high risk - in the event that someone is to leave the business they are worried they’ll be left with a car in the car park that no one wants.
The Electric Car Scheme’s Complete Employer Protection package provides reassurance that the employer is protected from day 1. If an employer has to make redundancies or dismiss an employee, they can do this at any time without facing a fee.
The Electric Car Scheme’s Complete Employer Protection package also protects the employer from any shortfall due to employee resignation, long term sickness, family friendly leave. A new and unique feature even protects employers if the employee doesn’t repay the company for damage to their car.
This proposition differs from other market offerings, which often feature complex terms & conditions, exclusion periods and return limits, potentially leaving employers with significant bills or headaches.
All Inclusive Packages that Simplify Fleet Management
Managing a company car benefit should be simple, predictable and scalable. With The Electric Car Scheme, every car comes as a complete package - giving you full cost visibility from day one.
Each lease includes maintenance, insurance, servicing, breakdown cover and tyres as standard, so there are no hidden extras or unexpected costs. Fixed monthly pricing means easier budgeting and accurate forecasting for Finance and Fleet teams.
Whether you’re running one car or one thousand, our model is built to scale effortlessly. Your dedicated Employer Portal gives you full visibility across your fleet, allowing you to manage approvals, track deliveries, view live orders and export payroll data in one place.
To keep drivers safe and supported, employees automatically receive notifications when MOTs and services are due, along with reminders for maintenance and safety checks.
You can also expand the package to include home charger installation and charging through The Charge Scheme, helping employees save even more while keeping everything under one simple process.
It’s a complete, end-to-end solution; one monthly payment, one point of contact and one clear picture of your fleet.
Generate and Control Employer National Insurance Savings
With The Electric Car Scheme, your business benefits financially from day one. The scheme runs at zero cost, with all lease costs recovered through salary sacrifice - meaning it’s completely cost-neutral for employers.
Each month, your organisation saves on Class 1 National Insurance contributions because employees pay for their cars from their gross salary rather than their net income. Those savings add up quickly, delivering an average of £1,920 per car per year back to the business.
You have complete flexibility over how those savings are used:
Retain up to 100% to support company costs, or
Reinvest part or all of the savings to lower lease prices for employees, increase scheme participation and make the benefit even more attractive.
Passing these savings back into the scheme directly improves employee pricing - helping more of your workforce access electric cars and driving stronger engagement across your company.
Our transparent monthly reporting makes it easy to track how your savings are performing. Through your Employer Portal, you can view NI performance in real time, monitor your fleet’s financial results and receive expert guidance from our team on how to maximise your return.
