The Electric Car Scheme helps people switch to electric cars. We set up salary sacrifice schemes for small businesses to allow their employees access electric cars in the cheapest way possible. Employees can save 30%- 60% on any electric car by leasing it through their employer - paying out of their salary before tax. The UK government is supporting the switch to electric by providing these tax incentives. The Electric Car Scheme makes it hassle-free, risk-free, and cost-free for small businesses to pass on these savings to their employees. In short, we do for electric cars what the ‘Cycle to Work Scheme’ did for bicycles.
