Electric Vehicle Running Costs

Did you know you can reduce your running costs by switching to an electric vehicle?

Making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) isn’t just about reducing emissions—it can also mean lower running costs compared to a traditional petrol or diesel vehicle. Here’s how EVs stack up against internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles when it comes to the cost of ownership.

Say hello to E-Flexibility from Ford Lease Contract Hire^

We know that the transition to Electric Vehicles poses all sorts of operational questions for our customers. Since we think that you’re going to love our range of electric commercial vehicles, we thought that we’d assist you in answering these questions by providing you with E-Flexibility.

What is it?

E-Flexibility provides your business with the opportunity to review your experience with your electric commercial vehicle within the first 6 months of the contract to discuss whether to:

  • Continue with the current arrangement and keep your lease or
  • Return the vehicle with no Early Termination fee^. We will then be happy to discuss next steps.

Available on the Ford E-Transit Van, E-Transit Custom, and E-Transit Courier, E-Flexibility is designed to make your transition to an Electric Vehicle that little bit less daunting.
