Our take

New cars and vans powered wholly by petrol and diesel will not be sold in the UK from 2030. Because of this, there is expected to be a huge shift in the market towards electric vehicles. In 2021, hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles accounted for just 18.5% of car registrations, so there is a long way to go.

From 6th April 2020 the UK government introduced huge tax savings for people who lease an electric vehicle through their company. The Electric Car Scheme makes it easy for people to access these tax savings through salary sacrifice, essentially offering the Cycle-to-Work Scheme - but for electric cars.

Anyone looking to lease an electric car can use The Electric Car Scheme to get the tax savings. That’s 32%-62% off of the cost of the car lease, which makes it much more attractive than petrol or diesel cars. The Electric Car Scheme has great tailwinds given the shift, and will be moving fast to try and capitalise on it.

Jessica Ingram (Senior Talent Partner)

  • Here at ECS we believe that diversity not only brings us together but it allows us to be as creative as possible - essential for a start- up! Embracing diversity and inclusion is not only a responsibility we take seriously as an employer but also imperative to ensure we positively impact innovation, talent management, market competitiveness, and success. We're huge advocates for encouraging candidates from all backgrounds to apply for our roles. We're all to aware that the motor trade is a male dominated industry so we're continuously striving to ensure we're attracting and encouraging candidates of all genders to apply for our roles, even if they don't meet 100% of the "what you bring to the role".
