What’s the difference between salary sacrifice and personal leasing?
EV salary sacrifice explained
Salary sacrifice is a way of getting a shiny new EV saving up to 40%. The payments come out before tax, so your taxable income drops and you pay less in Income Tax and National Insurance.
In other words: money that would usually disappear to HMRC goes towards your new wheels instead.
And with Octopus EV, your monthly payment bundles in 4,000 free miles or a charger plus insurance, servicing, tyres, maintenance, breakdown cover, the whole shebang.
Personal leasing explained
Personal leasing is more like a long-term rental but without the nice tax perks.
You’ll need an upfront deposit, plus monthly payments, and at the end you hand the car back or, if allowed, pay a big lump sum to keep it. No tax savings, no extras rolled in… just a regular lease.
Unless, you go with our Intelligent EV personal leasing package of course. In which case, you do get a few extra perks thrown in.
Both costings are based on 40 year old, 40% taxpayer taking out a 48 month lease with 5k miles per year. Personal lease rentals and other items are estimated averages from third party sources and will vary by driver and location. Insurance is usually the biggest variable. Pricing correct as of 09/03/2026.

Boost Employee Retention with Octopus EV
More than half of employees (59%) are more likely to join or stay with an organisation if they have a comprehensive benefits package on offer.
It was the sales approach and how the team managed the relationships that swung it for us. It was unlike anything else I’d experienced when looking into salary sacrifice car schemes.

One of the things I really like about the Octopus EV scheme is that it’s the full package. The charger, plus the Octopus Energy tariff - I think the whole offer is really attractive.
