Fed up with expensive petrol? How to switch to an electric short lease car

What does driving on petrol actually cost you?

Many people only notice once they work it out. If you drive 20,000 kilometres a year in a car that does 1 in 14, you use well over 1,400 litres of petrol. At current pump prices, that quickly adds up to a considerable amount per year, for fuel alone.

Do you drive more, or does your car use more fuel? Then that amount rises further. Fuel costs are a fixed expense you can barely influence. You don't set the price at the pump.

What do you pay with an electric car?

Driving electric costs considerably less per kilometre than driving on petrol. If you charge at home, you pay a lot less per kilometre, depending on your energy contract. By comparison, with an average petrol car at current prices you quickly pay several times that per kilometre.

You notice that difference fast. Over a year, at 20,000 kilometres, it easily saves you hundreds of euros in fuel and charging costs. And that's only the driving. With a short lease car from VWP, insurance, maintenance and road tax are also already included in the monthly price.

Is driving electric right for you?

Many people hesitate. Not because driving electric sounds bad, but because they don't know how it works out in practice. Will I charge in time? Will I manage my daily trips? Will I enjoy driving it?

The only way to find out is to drive one. Short lease makes that possible. You drive an electric car for a period of one to twenty-four months and find out for yourself whether it suits you. Do you like it? Then you extend or choose another model. Don't like it? Then you stop.
