Electric Van Leasing
As the world shifts towards more sustainable modes of transportation, electric van leasing is rapidly gaining popularity. Check out our electric van leasing deals below.
The adoption of electric vans (EV vans) is growing, driven by environmental concerns, government incentives, cheaper overall running costs, and major advancements in battery and charging technology.
Many businesses and drivers are new to electric vans, so below we explain the ins and outs of electric van leasing, covering everything from its benefits to the different leasing options available.
What is Electric Van Leasing?
Electric van leasing is a financial arrangement that allows you to drive a new electric van without the long-term commitment of purchasing it outright. Instead of buying the van, you pay a fixed monthly fee to use it for a set period, typically between 2 to 4 years. At the end of the lease term, you return the van to the leasing company, with the option to lease a new model.
There are two primary types of electric van leasing:
Personal Contract Hire (PCH): This option is designed for individuals or sole traders who want an electric van for personal or light business use. Monthly payments cover the vehicle's depreciation over the lease term. At the end of the contract, you simply return the van without any obligation to purchase it.
Business Contract Hire (BCH): Tailored for companies and fleets, this leasing option allows businesses to provide employees with electric vans for work-related purposes. BCH can offer significant financial benefits, such as tax deductions, VAT recovery, and the ability to manage multiple vehicles cost-effectively.

Government Incentives: In the UK, electric vans are eligible for the Plug-in Van Grant (PiVG) as well as reduced road tax, making them even more cost-effective.
Modern Features: Electric vans are equipped with the latest safety and driver-assist technology, plus improved load space efficiency.
Frequent Upgrades: With shorter lease terms, you can replace your vans more often and benefit from the latest technology, longer ranges, and better charging speeds.

Why Choose An Electric Van?
Electric vans have significant advantages over traditional diesel vans. Here are some of the key benefits:
Save Money
Cut fuel and maintenance costs by charging at home, at work, or using low-cost overnight tariffs. Many businesses save thousands per year across their fleet.
Go Green
Drive with zero emissions and meet Clean Air Zone (CAZ) and Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) requirements, helping your business stay compliant while reducing its environmental impact.
Practical Performance
Electric vans deliver instant torque for responsive acceleration, perfect for city driving and stop-start delivery routes. Many models also offer excellent payload capacity.
Low Maintenance
With fewer moving parts than diesel engines, electric vans typically require less servicing, meaning less downtime and lower running costs for your business.
Why Should I Lease An Electric Van?
There are several reasons to consider leasing an electric van through Stable Vehicle Contracts, whether for personal use or business purposes. Leasing an electric van offers significant financial flexibility. The lower initial costs and predictable monthly payments help businesses and individuals manage budgets more effectively. For companies, leasing also improves cash flow management, as funds are not tied up in depreciating assets.
Switching to an electric van is a proactive step towards reducing environmental impact and meeting Clean Air Zone (CAZ) or Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) regulations. Leasing makes this transition easier and more affordable, enabling more businesses to operate sustainably. Fleet managers can also enhance their company’s green credentials by incorporating electric vans. Leasing often includes comprehensive optional maintenance packages, reducing downtime and repair worries. Additionally, a full manufacturer warranty ensures that any issues are resolved without extra costs.
Is It Better to Lease an Electric Van via Personal Contract Hire or Business Contract Hire?
The decision between Personal Contract Hire (PCH) and Business Contract Hire (BCH) depends on your specific needs and circumstances.
Personal Contract Hire (PCH)
PCH is ideal for individuals or sole traders who want the flexibility of driving a new van without the long-term commitment of ownership. The process is simple, with fixed monthly payments that cover depreciation and can include maintenance. At the end of the lease, you simply return the van without worrying about resale value.
Business Contract Hire (BCH)
BCH provides significant tax advantages, including VAT recovery on lease payments and deducting costs as business expenses. For companies, leasing enables efficient fleet management, providing employees with reliable, zero-emission vans that are compliant with environmental regulations. Adopting electric vans also strengthens a company’s sustainability profile and reduces operating costs.
Electric van leasing is an excellent option for those looking to modernise their transport without the long-term financial burden of ownership. Whether through Personal Contract Hire (PCH) for individuals or Business Contract Hire (BCH) for businesses, leasing offers clear benefits, including cost savings, environmental impact reduction, and access to the latest technology.
The shift towards electric vans is supported by government incentives such as the Plug-in Van Grant and a growing UK charging infrastructure, making now an ideal time to consider leasing an electric van. By choosing to lease, you enjoy the perks of driving a new and eco-friendly vehicle while contributing to a greener future and lowering operating costs.
As the electric van market continues to expand, leasing remains a flexible and attractive option, ensuring you stay ahead with the latest advancements while managing your finances effectively. Whether for business use or individual needs, electric van leasing is a smart, sustainable choice for modern mobility.

Electric Van Leasing FAQs
A standard lease contract and an electric lease contract are similar in terms of structure, but the latter may include considerations for battery maintenance, charging infrastructure, and government incentives such as the Plug-in Van Grant (PiVG) which is specific to electric vans.
You can charge an electric van at home, at your business premises with a wallbox, or at public charging stations, which are increasingly available at service stations, industrial estates, supermarkets, and car parks across the UK.
The range of an electric van varies by model, but most modern vans can run between 100 to 250 miles on a single charge—more than enough for typical daily delivery routes and service jobs.
If you run out of charge, you’ll need to call roadside assistance to tow you to the nearest charging station, or in some areas mobile charging units may be available. Planning routes with apps like ZapMap helps avoid this issue.
Insurance for electric vans can be slightly higher due to the cost of batteries and specialist repairs, but this depends on the provider and the model. Many insurers now offer competitive EV policies for both personal use and fleets.
Electric van leasing works by paying a fixed monthly fee to use the van for a set period, usually 2 to 4 years. At the end of the contract, you return the van and can choose to lease a new one, avoiding depreciation and resale concerns.
It’s not required, but many businesses and individuals choose to install a wallbox for convenient overnight charging and lower electricity rates. If that’s not possible, you can rely on the UK’s extensive public charging network or explore depot charging solutions for fleets.
Smaller electric vans like the Vauxhall Combo-e or Citroën ë-Berlingo are typically the most affordable to lease. Larger panel vans such as the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter or Volkswagen ID.Buzz Cargo are more expensive but offer greater space and range.
As mentioned previously, you can charge your EV at home or over 10,000 public charging stations across the UK. You can also charge your EV at the workplace if applicable. If you want to know the location of a nearby charging station, websites like ZapMap are available, as well as apps like PlugShare.
There are over 10,000 electric charging points across the UK. You can find a nearby one by using websites like ZapMap or apps like PlugShare.
Yes, electric vans still require servicing and, after three years, an annual MOT. However, because EVs have fewer moving parts than diesel vans, servicing is often cheaper and faster. Brakes, tyres, and suspension still need routine checks.
Insurance is not included in our leasing deals—you’ll need to arrange this separately. Road tax is included for the full duration of your contract, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Yes, we offer free UK mainland delivery on all electric van lease deals. Customers in Northern Ireland can collect from our Liverpool office and return via ferry to Belfast.
