It’s 2025, and electric vehicles have taken over the fast lane. Globally, EVs account for around 21% of auto sales; that’s about one in five new vehicles hitting the road. In April, battery electric vehicles were capturing over 20% of the market share in the UK. This is a transformative trend that’s reshaping consumer behaviour. Now is the time to accelerate towards the adoption of green vehicles by ensuring you have the required infrastructure in place. In addition, the government is keeping pace by updating planning rules. These cut through the red tape and give businesses fewer hurdles when installing EV charging stations. In this blog, we look at why EV Charger Leasing is a great option for businesses looking to remain in front.
Why EV Charging Matters to Your Business
The EV revolution isn’t coming — it’s already parked in your car park. If you’re in retail, hospitality, office leasing, leisure, or even industrial services, and you’re not offering EV charging, you risk being left behind. This is why installing EV chargers can be a game-changer for any business:
- Attract More Visitors: EV drivers actively seek out locations with quality charging facilities. A conveniently placed charging station means more people stopping by, whether they’re shopping, dining, or just waiting for a meeting.
- Extend Customer Dwell Time: As vehicles charge, customers have extra time to relax, browse, and spend money. More time at your premises translates directly into greater revenue.
- Boost Your Green Credentials: Installing EV chargers demonstrates your commitment to sustainability. It sends a powerful message that your business is forward-thinking, eco-friendly, and in tune with modern values.
- Future-Proof Your Property: Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, having the right infrastructure in place now safeguards your property’s relevance in a rapidly evolving market.
Let’s not forget that the reputational benefits of being known as an eco-conscious, forward-thinking brand are never a bad thing.
Tackling the Cost Challenge with EV Charger Leasing
EV chargers, especially commercial-grade ones, can be expensive. Between the hardware, installation, network software, and ongoing maintenance, the initial outlay can easily run into the thousands. And if you’re managing tight budgets or juggling multiple investment priorities, those capital outlays can be a bit… shocking.
EV charger leasing is not only smart but also scalable:
- Preserve Your Capital: Keep your cash where it belongs, investing in growth initiatives, marketing, or other critical areas of your business, while still upgrading your infrastructure.
- Flexible Terms for Every Business: Whether you’re starting with a small installation or planning a large-scale roll-out, the leasing options can be tailored to match your budget and needs. Grow at your own pace, expanding your charging capacity as demand increases.
- Tax advantages: In many cases, lease payments can be written off as operating expenses, offering tax efficiencies compared to buying outright.
- Access to Top-Tier Technology: We work with leading UK suppliers and installers, so you’re getting best-in-class charging solutions, and can ensure your technology never falls behind.
- Fast deployment: Thanks to the streamlined approval process, we can get you from quote to installation quickly, without the faff.
In short, instead of paying one big lump sum, you spread the cost over a flexible lease term that fits your budget. No capital shock. No compromising on tech. Just simple, scalable finance that grows with your needs.
