According to many, electric driving is the future. But whether it now already suits your specific situation, there are often still doubts about that. What about the range in the winter? Can I charge easily in my neighborhood? And how do you like such an EV on the highway? A test drive at the dealer often only takes an hour; too short to really experience whether an EV fits into your life.

The practical test in your own life

The only way to really find out is to integrate the car into your daily routine. Not for an hour, but for a few months. Shortlease is the perfect solution for this. It allows you to try an electric car for a longer period of time without being directly tied to a four- or five-year contract. You're not stuck with anything for a long time, but you do have time to get used to it.

Why short leasing can help

During a period of, for example, three months, you will encounter all the practical situations that you miss during a dealer visit:

  • Commuting to and from work: Can you easily survive on one battery, even when it's cold and the heating needs to be turned on?
  • Loading stress: Is finding a pole in your street really as difficult as you thought, or is it not that bad?
  • Driving behavior: You'll experience how relaxed driving with an automatic transmission and “one-pedal driving” works in the city and in traffic jams.

No risk, but experience

The main advantage of this construction is the way out. After three months, does it appear that electric driving is still too much hassle in your current living situation? Then you hand in the car and switch back to an economical petrol car or a hybrid model via VWP Shortlease in no time.

But does it turn out to be a hit? Then you can be sure that your next fixed car should be an electric one. This way, you are guaranteed to make the right choice in the future.
