Benefits for businesses and their drivers
Lower maintenance
Electric vehicles have fewer parts meaning they are easier and cheaper to service.
Impact on environment
We use Lithium-ion batteries that are almost 100% recyclable. Both electric and hybrid vehicles also emit far less CO2 than their petrol equivalents.
Cheaper to run
At just 2 to 3p per mile, electricity is two thirds cheaper than petrol and diesel. Plus Electric vehicles costing less than £40,000 are exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), also known as the road tax
Lower taxes
Benefit in Kind (BIK) rates on BEV and PHEV models are really low, meaning employee much pay less in Company Car Tax and the company make a significant saving on their Class 1a National Insurance contributions.
For businesses
Helping to improve your corporate social responsibility, EV’s are more ecofriendly than traditional combustion cars, lowering CO2 tail pipe emissions.

For company car drivers
Company car drivers enjoy reductions on their Benefit in Kind (BiK) rates. There are also plenty of local benefits including free parking, free use of bus lanes and exemption from London’s Congestion Charge.
Company car drivers
If your company car is classed as "Benefit in kind" (BIK), you are liable for company car tax. Calculate BIK tax rates and work out the amount of tax payable on any ŠKODA model using our company car tax calculator.
Additional UK incentives
On top of the OLEV grant, there are plenty of other local and national incentives to make switching to electric cheaper.
The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS)
EVHS provides a £350 grant towards the cost of installing a smart charge point at home and an additional £300 support in Scotland.
The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS)
WCS gives eligible applicants a grant designed to make installing workplace charge-points cheaper.
London Congestion Charge
EVs and PHEVs that emit 75g/km CO2 or less or have a minimum zero-emission range of 20 miles are completely exempt from the Congestion Charge (£11.50 per day) and the new T-Charge (£10 per day).
Local council incentives
Local councils offer electric vehicle drivers perks such as free parking at facilities, free charge points, access to bus lanes and residents’ parking permits at reduced costs.
