If you’re thinking about making the switch to electric but wondering how to keep things simple and affordable, Motability could be the perfect route. The Motability Scheme offers a hassle free way to lease a brand new car and these days, there are more electric options than ever before.

Let’s explore why Motability makes so much sense for electric car drivers.


What is the Motability Scheme?

The Motability Scheme allows eligible people exchange their mobility allowance for a lease on a brand-new car. It’s all about making driving as stress-free as possible. Insurance, servicing, breakdown cover and even tyre and windscreen replacements are all included.

That means you don’t need to worry about separate bills, it’s all rolled into one regular payment.

The Rise of Electric Cars on the Motability Scheme

As more drivers make the move to electric, the Motability Scheme has followed suit. There’s now a growing range of EVs available through the scheme, from practical models like the Peugeot e-208 to family favourites like the Volkswagen ID.3.

And with electric cars becoming more affordable, more reliable and easier to charge, they’re fast becoming a smart choice for Motability customers.

Why Electric Cars and Motability Are a Perfect Match

Here’s why switching to electric on the Motability Scheme is a win-win:

Lower Running Costs

Electric cars are generally cheaper to run than petrol or diesel vehicles. You’ll spend far less on charging than you would filling up at the pump, especially if you’re able to charge at home.

Worry Free Maintenance

EVs have fewer moving parts, which means there’s less that can go wrong. And with servicing included in your Motability lease, you’re completely covered for any routine checks or unexpected issues.

Home Charging Support

If you’re leasing your first electric car through Motability, you might be eligible for a free home charging point, supplied and installed as part of your lease, making charging even easier and more convenient.

Better for the Environment

Electric vehicles produce zero emissions while driving, making them a great option if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and do your bit for the planet.

Electric Cars Available on the Motability Scheme

The list of EVs available through Motability is growing all the time. Here are just a few popular choices that offer great value and features:

· Peugeot e-208- Compact, comfy and perfect for city driving

· Volkswagen ID.3- A futuristic design with plenty of smart features

· Audi Q4 e-tron- Premium feel with a smooth, quiet drive

· CUPRA Born- Bold styling and great range in a sporty hatch

· Volkswagen ID.4- A roomy electric SUV, great for growing families

Depending on the model, you may need to pay an Advance Payment, but it’s often far lower than the upfront cost of buying a new EV outright.

Is an EV Right for You?

Before making the switch to electric, it’s worth thinking about your lifestyle and driving habits. EVs are ideal if:

  • You do most of your driving locally
  • You’ve got access to home charging
  • You want to reduce your running costs
  • You’re looking for a smoother, quieter driving experience

If you regularly take long road trips, you’ll want to consider EVs with a higher range or make sure you’re comfortable using public chargers.
