What is AA Lease for EVs?
AA Lease lets you lease an electric car for a period between 2 and 5 years – the choice is up to you. It works just like other long-term car rental services, with you paying a monthly fee to get behind the wheel of a brand-new electric car for a set mileage per year.

Why lease an electric car?
Looking to upgrade your car and enjoy the zero-emission benefits of an electric vehicle? Here’s why leasing an EV could make sense for you:
- Vehicle cost – EVs are still relatively expensive compared to petrol and diesel vehicles, which makes it difficult for many to enjoy the benefits. With electric car leasing, you pay a much smaller monthly fee for the same vehicle, which can simplify and spread out your budgeting.
- No depreciation – All new cars depreciate, EVs included. If you lease yours, you won’t have to worry about working out how much value it has lost when you finally decide to sell and upgrade.
- Extra benefits – For a single monthly fee, you get your electric car lease alongside extras vehicle tax, and more. If you hate motoring admin then a lease brings peace of mind.
- Cheaper running costs – Electric vehicles are cheaper to run than those that run on combustion engines, given that electricity is cheaper than petrol or diesel. The numbers are significant: in January 2021, British Gas crunched the numbers and found EVs to be around 70% cheaper to run than combustion. That’s a significant saving over the long run.
- Simplified maintenance – Maintenance costs are typically cheaper than for petrol and diesel vehicles. With an electric car lease, you can save significantly in the long run.

Electric car leasing FAQs
How does electric car leasing work?
Electric vehicle leasing works very much in a similar way to petrol and diesel vehicle leasing, by paying a monthly fee to rent a vehicle for a set period and mileage.
You are responsible for the day to day costs of running the vehicle, such as insurance and maintenance. We also offer a fixed price maintenance plan for full peace of mind.
At the end of your lease, we’ll collect your car, leaving you free to lease an even newer vehicle.
How much does it cost to lease an electric car?
The cost of leasing an electric car depends on a range of factors including:
- Make and model of vehicle
- Contract period
- Amount of annual mileage
- Upfront payment size.

Should you buy or lease an electric car?
Wondering whether you should buy or lease an electric car? The choice depends on several things.
First, leasing can make sense if you want a new electric car but don’t have a lump sum to pay for one upfront. Payments will also be simpler and more predictable as you won’t need to worry about paying road tax and other costs.
Similarly, if you’re the type of person who likes driving new cars, you can switch to a new model at the end of the electric car lease. You won’t have to worry about advertising and selling your car and being hit by depreciation.
Electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly popular option for drivers. The BVRLA’s January 2022 Leasing Outlook Report found that 21% of new cars were EVs in Q3 2021, with numbers forecast to grow by 53% by Q3 2022.
When all is said and done, it’s important you compare the price of EV lease deals to buying. Make a decision based on your finances, circumstances and future plans. That way, you can drive an EV the right way.

Is leasing an electric car a good idea?
Leasing an electric vehicle (EV) isn't just a trend – it's a smart financial and practical strategy for many drivers. Here's why:
- Financial Advantages Electric car leasing offers significant economic benefits. You avoid the substantial upfront costs of purchasing, enjoy lower monthly payments, and sidestep the depreciation headache that comes with owning a rapidly evolving technology. With EV technology advancing quickly, leasing lets you stay current without being locked into a single vehicle.
- Technological Flexibility The electric vehicle market is changing at lightning speed. New models with improved range, performance, and features are constantly emerging. Leasing provides the ultimate flexibility – typically every 2-4 years, you can upgrade to the latest EV technology without the complexity of selling your existing vehicle.
- Running Cost Savings Electric vehicles dramatically reduce running costs. Electricity is significantly cheaper than petrol or diesel, with some estimates suggesting up to 70% lower fuel expenses. Add in lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts, and you're looking at substantial long-term savings.
- Environmental Impact Choosing an electric vehicle lease is a tangible way to reduce your carbon footprint. You're directly supporting cleaner transportation technology while enjoying a modern, efficient vehicle. Many lease agreements even include green energy charging solutions.
- Practical Considerations Leasing removes many ownership headaches. Maintenance can be included, and you're protected from unexpected repair costs. For businesses, the tax benefits are particularly attractive, with potential VAT and benefit-in-kind tax advantages.
For most drivers and businesses, leasing an electric car represents a smart, forward-thinking approach. It offers financial and technological flexibility, and a pathway to sustainable transportation.
