Absolutely! Leasing is one of the best ways to experience an electric vehicle for the first time without committing to ownership. It gives you the flexibility to try out the latest EV models, see how they fit into your lifestyle, and make the switch with minimal risk. Many of our customers are first-time electric vehicle (EV) drivers, and our team is happy to guide you through everything, from charging to selecting the right model for your needs.

Most electric vehicles can be charged using a standard three-pin plug, but we recommend installing a dedicated home wallbox for faster and more efficient charging. With a wallbox, you can fully charge your EV overnight using off-peak electricity, further reducing your costs. We can advise on government grants and trusted installers to help make home charging simple.

Yes – significantly. Charging an electric vehicle costs much less per mile than refuelling a petrol or diesel car. Additionally, EVs have fewer moving parts, which means less maintenance and lower servicing costs. You’ll also benefit from road tax exemptions, lower Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rates for company cars, and no congestion charges in many cities.

At the end of your lease agreement, you return the car to us – there’s no need to worry about selling it or dealing with depreciation. If you’ve stayed within the agreed mileage and the vehicle is in good condition (fair wear and tear accepted), there will be nothing more to pay. You can then choose to lease a new electric model or explore other options with us.

That’s exactly what we’re here for. Our team at Silverstone Leasing are EV specialists and can walk you through the best options based on your driving habits, budget, and preferences. Whether you need a city runaround, a family SUV, or a premium executive model, we’ll find a lease that ticks every box – and we’re always just a call or email away.

While a good credit score can help secure better lease terms, options are available for those with varying credit histories. Some leasing companies offer plans for individuals with lower credit scores, though you may face higher payments or larger initial deposits. It's advisable to check with the leasing provider about their specific credit requirements and any additional documentation needed

A typical electric car lease agreement includes road tax, the manufacturer's warranty, and breakdown cover. Some leases also offer optional maintenance packages, which can cover servicing, tyre replacements, and other routine maintenance tasks. It's important to review the lease terms carefully to understand what's included and what may incur additional costs

Selecting the appropriate mileage allowance depends on your driving habits. Underestimating your annual mileage can lead to excess mileage charges at the end of the lease term. It's recommended to accurately assess your typical driving patterns and choose a mileage package that accommodates your needs. Leasing companies often provide various mileage options to suit different drivers

Exceeding the agreed mileage on your lease can result in additional charges, typically calculated on a per-mile basis. The specific rate is outlined in your lease agreement. To avoid unexpected costs, it's important to monitor your mileage throughout the lease term and consider selecting a higher mileage allowance if you anticipate driving more than initially estimated.
