The benefits of electric short leases for the modern self-employed person

You see them more and more: the silent, fast-paced electric cars. As a self-employed person, you're probably thinking about the future. Is electric driving for you? It is sustainable, the fuel and maintenance costs are low and the tax benefits, such as the low addition, are attractive.

But there are also doubts. A new electric car can easily cost €40,000 or more. What happens to the value when a model with a much better battery comes on the market in two years? And are you stuck with a long-term contract?

These doubts are justified. But they don't have to stop you. After all, there is a way to make use of the benefits of electric driving without the disadvantages and financial risks. That way is short lease.

Here are 4 reasons why electric short lease is the perfect match for you as a freelancer.

The benefits of electric short lease freelancers

1. Drive electrically without the big investment

The biggest obstacle for many entrepreneurs is the high purchase price of an electric car. That's money you'd rather put into growing your company. With a short lease, you don't have to make this investment. You pay a fixed, all-inclusive monthly fee and keep your capital free for other things. You drive a brand-new electric car without sacrificing your liquidity.

2. No worries about residual value

Technological developments in the EV market are happening very fast. Batteries are getting better, charging speeds are faster and the software is smarter. If you buy a car today, it could be technologically overtaken in three years. This has an enormous impact on the residual value.

With a short lease, that risk is entirely ours. You always drive a modern, current model. Has your contract ended and is there a better car available? Then you can easily switch. This way, you can continuously benefit from the latest technology, without ever bearing the risk of depreciation.

3. Stay flexible

Does electric driving really suit your work and lifestyle? How does that work in practice with charging on location with customers? With a traditional 48-month lease contract, there is no going back. Shortlease offers you the ultimate flexibility to discover this.

With our short, flexible contracts, you can easily try electric driving. Does it turn out to be perfect for you? Then you can drive on without worries. Is your situation changing or do you want something else? Then you won't be stuck with anything for years. You maintain control.
