A new salary sacrifice scheme has launched in the UK, bringing claimed savings of around 30-60% on any electric car lease.

Introduced as demand for salary sacrifice continues to soar, The Electric Car Scheme makes it easier for employees to access electric cars through their employers – at no cost to their bosses. An employee could drive a Tesla Model 3 from as little as £350 per month.

Unlike some other electric car salary sacrifice schemes, The Electric Car Scheme includes protection to the company covering all the cars on the scheme. If employees leave, whether through redundancy, dismissal, taking a new role, long-term sickness or parental leave, they are protected.

Once a company signs up to the service, The Electric Car Scheme helps employees select and order the best car for them. The company is also supported throughout, with payroll, admin and finance support offered by The Electric Car Scheme.

The scheme also help employers hit recruitment and retention targets, along with supporting sustainability goals.

Thom Groot, co-founder and CEO of The Electric Car Scheme, said: “More than 80% of employees in the UK want their next car to be an electric car, and The Electric Car Scheme now makes this affordable through salary sacrifice.

“We’ve designed this with both the employer and employee in mind, so staff can drive new, electric cars at a 30-60% discount without creating a net cost or risk for their company.”

He added: “I encourage all UK employees that are looking to switch to driving electric to approach their company leadership team – whether it be via HR or finance – and request they look into this, as it really does benefit everyone.

“At The Electric Car Scheme, we are dedicated to making it a ‘no-brainer’ decision for everyone to switch to driving electric, at an affordable cost.”
