About Us:

Switching to an electric car is one of the most significant ways you can make a positive change towards net zero. We want to make it cheaper and easier than any other option. Salary sacrifice makes this possible, allowing employees to save 30-60% on any electric car by reducing your salary in exchange for an electric car as a benefit. This makes electric cars an affordable option for everyone.
Each person wants to make choices to achieve a net zero future. People are limited by information, access, price and complexity - this is slowing down progress globally. The pace of achieving net-zero is a huge problem because each tonne of carbon emissions contributes to climate change for centuries.
At The Electric Car Scheme, our goal is to make net zero the obvious choice.
You can offer a cost-neutral benefit that gives employees access to the most affordable way to switch to an electric car. Together we’re speeding up our ability to tackle climate change by empowering others to make sustainable choices.
The Electric Car Scheme is here to break down barriers. By empowering others to make sustainable choices, we can speed up your efforts to tackle climate change.
