About The Electric Car Scheme
Written by the company
The Electric Car Scheme helps people switch to electric cars. We set up salary sacrifice schemes for UK businesses. They can then offer their employees access electric cars in the cheapest way possible. Employees can save 20-50% on any electric car through salary sacrifice. The employer provides the car, and the employee sacrifices their salary in return. This enables employees to pay out of their salary before tax.
The UK government is supporting the switch to electric by providing these tax incentives. The Electric Car Scheme makes it hassle-free, risk-free, and cost-free for businesses to pass on these savings to their employees.
In short, we do for electric cars what the ‘Cycle to Work Scheme’ did for bicycles.
We believe that every person wants to make a significant impact to lower carbon emissions. Switching to an electric car is the biggest step you can take as an individual to reduce your carbon footprint.

Salary sacrifice for electric cars
Written by the company
- Save 20-50% on any electric car through salary sacrifice
- Salary sacrifice saves 20-50% on the cost of any electric car by paying from salary before tax. The Electric Car Scheme makes it a no-brainer for employers with first-rate risk protection, best prices available, and will manage the scheme at no cost. Join our 5 star salary sacrifice scheme to help your team on their journey to Net Zero.
- Driving down CO2 Emissions
- At The Electric Car Scheme, we understand that every person can make a significant impact to lower carbon emissions. Switching to an electric car is the biggest step you can take as an individual to reduce your carbon footprint.
- Unlocking government tax savings
- The government's tax incentives for electric cars promote sustainable choices. But they are complex and difficult to access. At The Electric Car Scheme, we make it simple to access the government tax incentives for our Net Zero transition.
- The obvious choice
- We believe sustainable choices should be obvious and affordable. That means no trade-offs. When the choice is better for your wallet and better for the environment – it’s a no brainer. We enable everyone to make the choice to accelerate the transition to net zero.

Absolute shambles
Absolute shambles. Terrible communication. Cars delivery dates that keep extending. One of the worst companies I’ve had the misfortune to have deal with.

We've dropped the ball here and I am very sorry this has happened.
Although your order is affected by a manufacturing and dealership issue we should have asked you how frequently you wanted updates so you didn't need to chase us. I can appreciate the frustration this experience has caused and will feedback to my colleagues.
I appreciate you taking my call, I will do all I can to help turn this experience around for you.

From start to finish
From start to finish, my experience with the Electric Car Scheme has been fantastic. The team kept me informed every step of the way and provided excellent communication throughout the entire process.
We did encounter a small hiccup, but it was due to the manufacturer and was in no way the fault of the Electric Car Scheme. Louis and Tara were outstanding—they kept me updated regularly, answered all my questions, and even called after the car was delivered to make sure everything had gone smoothly.
I would highly recommend the Electric Car Scheme to anyone considering a new electric vehicle. If you're lucky enough to have Louis and Tara looking after you, you'll be in great hands.
Thanks again, everyone! I'll definitely be back in a few years when it's time for my next car.

Good service
Adam Constantinides has been really helpful throughout the process so far. Can communicate both by email and phone to go through the order details and has been fairly responsive. Helped with getting the exact spec of car that I wanted which I'm really pleased with. Considering getting a second car through the scheme for my fiancé as well.

Chris & Yasmin were fantastic
Chris & Yasmin were fantastic. From the start Chris was helpful giving lots of information and happy to quote for all of the cars sent. Once we had finally made a decision, he reserved our chosen car and talked through the paperwork. Once that was signed and ordered, Yasmin took over with regular updates and replied promptly when emailed. Both reached out after delivery to check everything had gone smoothly. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend introducing to your business
We brought in the electric car scheme for our business to give our employees an additional benefit, and as a B Corp, it was something that we wanted to support the progression of our employees towards electric vehicles.
I have to say the team at the electric car scheme has been absolutely amazing, from Chris to Mehdi to the team answering the phone when we had questions. It's been a really fantastic experience. We would highly recommend them, and I would suggest any organization this is really worthwhile bringing in. It's exciting to see solar panels and heat pumps being added and what the shape of that will be going forwards.
I think it really aligns with any company that's focused on sustainable initiatives that provide an added benefit and essentially at zero cost within the business, so highly recommend

Marcus and the team were incredibly responsive, helpful and informative throughout. They clearly outlined all the critical information relating to the lease hire, and crucially, the website experience itself was effortless: user experience, the selection, pricing and specifications of each vehicle were clear and concise.
My used EC vehicle matched the specification exactly, including all three noted imperfections being accurately disclosed beforehand. It was delivered earlier than scheduled, with open communication throughout and a genuine follow-up on my feedback afterwards.
It was a privilege to work with them, and I'm truly grateful for such a smooth experience.
