Delivering affordability and accessibility
Zenith, the UK’s leading independent leasing, fleet management and vehicle outsourcing business, has launched its fully digital used electric (EV) salary sacrifice scheme, designed to make electric vehicles more accessible and cost effective for drivers.
The proposition gives drivers the opportunity to lease a high-quality pre-owned EV through a salary sacrifice agreement. Providing drivers with a wider selection of options for their budget, vehicle contracts start at just 12 months, ensuring a risk-averse option for drivers looking to try an EV without a long-term commitment.
Each vehicle is quality checked, will have passed the AA Safety Inspection, comes with a full service history, and manufacturer’s battery warranty, as well as a full maintenance package. Refurbished to the highest standard, Zenith’s used car promise aims to provide drivers with complete peace of mind, reinforced with a first-of-its-kind seven-day return period available on all vehicles.
Zenith has built an industry leading, fully digital stock management system, allowing drivers to see and order the latest stock in real time. And with all available cars ready to go, delivery can be arranged in under 14 days.
“Zenith launched the very first car salary sacrifice scheme back in 1999, so this new proposition is the next natural step in providing affordable access to electric vehicles as we continue to drive towards net zero. "We know from our market research that 81% of drivers would take a used salary sacrifice car. By combining affordability, accessibility, and quality, we’re removing the barriers that have traditionally held back EV adoption, while helping establish a healthy used market and mitigating the impact of falling residual values, which is vital to the overall EV ecosystem.”
