ELECTRIC VEHICLE FRANCHISE

EVs tend to cost more upfront than equivalent petrol cars due to the nature of their batteries – they’re the biggest reason for the initial cost difference as they feature more raw materials that are expensive to extract and manufacture. We factor in this cost difference to our franchise prices.

However, recent data shows that electric vehicles usually work out cheaper in the long run, thanks to home charging technology which will save you money compared to fuelling up a petrol engine.

When you become an AA Driving School franchisee, we outline how often you’ll need to service and maintain your electric car in your Service Intervals Document. However, booking in for a service is simple through AA Prestige Fleet Servicing and is included as part of your franchise.

As the daily user of the vehicle, you’re responsible for its roadworthiness and general maintenance. Regular servicing ensures your car stays in warranty, remains reliable, efficient and safe for every lesson.

If you’re already teaching in a petrol or diesel car and you’re swapping to an EV, we’ll arrange a convenient handover date for your new car – giving you ample time to inform your students of the change.

If it’s your first car with us, we’ll work closely with you to find a timely delivery date for your new EV.

As with our standard AA All Inclusive franchise (for petrol cars) we’ll provide you with an uncapped supply of pupils who want to learn EVs.

Yes. You'll need to manage your existing pupils’ expectations and let them know you'll be switching to an EV.
