Making the transition to electric driving seamless

What is an electric car lease?

Pay an initial upfront payment and then fixed monthly instalments. Electric car leasing gets you behind the wheel of a brand new EV. You keep the car for two to four years and then return it at the end of your contract.

With an Octopus EV personal lease, you can get the car, charger, and servicing, all in one simple package.

Can I buy the car at the end of the lease?

No, with Personal Contract Hire you’ll give the car back at the end of the lease as it’s a hire plan, agreed for a certain period. Remember though, cars are assets that lose value, so this way you get to return the car, hassle free, at the end of your term.

What's the upfront payment?

The higher the initial payment the lower your monthly payments for the lease will be. For example, if you made a 9 month initial payment on a 36 month lease the following 35 payments would be less than if you made a 1 month initial payment.

You don't get a 9 month gap between the initial payment and your first monthly rental payment as the initial payment simply lowers or changes the amount you'll be paying monthly from then on.

What isn't included with an Octopus EV personal lease?

The main thing that you’ll need to do is source yourself comprehensive motor insurance and keep that in place for the length of your contract.

Plus, you’ll also be liable for any fines that you may receive once you have the car, plus any excess mileage and damage above wear and tear when you return the car at the end.

Your lease agreement will detail all of this for you.
