Electric Vehicle Finance

What is Electric Car Finance?

Thinking of switching to an electric car? You're not alone! With more people considering electric car finance in the UK, there are now a wide range of options available. Electric vehicle finance is a way of spreading the cost of your EV, rather than paying the full amount upfront. Your monthly payments, flexibility, and whether you own the car at the end will depend on the finance agreement you choose.

Some popular types of EV car finance are:

Hire Purchase (HP): Pay monthly instalments until the cost of the vehicle, plus interest, is covered. You will own the car at the end.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP): Typically smaller monthly payments, with the option to buy, return, or part-exchange your EV at the end.

Leasing: Monthly payments to rent the car for a fixed period, returning it at the end of your term.

Personal Loan: Borrow money to pay for the car outright, then repay in installments over time.
