About The Electric Car Scheme

Written by the company

The Electric Car Scheme helps people switch to electric cars. We set up salary sacrifice schemes for UK businesses. They can then offer their employees access electric cars in the cheapest way possible. Employees can save 20-50% on any electric car through salary sacrifice. The employer provides the car, and the employee sacrifices their salary in return. This enables employees to pay out of their salary before tax.

The UK government is supporting the switch to electric by providing these tax incentives. The Electric Car Scheme makes it hassle-free, risk-free, and cost-free for businesses to pass on these savings to their employees.

In short, we do for electric cars what the ‘Cycle to Work Scheme’ did for bicycles.

We believe that every person wants to make a significant impact to lower carbon emissions. Switching to an electric car is the biggest step you can take as an individual to reduce your carbon footprint.

Salary sacrifice for electric cars

Written by the company

Save 20-50% on any electric car through salary sacrifice
Salary sacrifice saves 20-50% on the cost of any electric car by paying from salary before tax. The Electric Car Scheme makes it a no-brainer for employers with first-rate risk protection, best prices available, and will manage the scheme at no cost. Join our 5 star salary sacrifice scheme to help your team on their journey to Net Zero.
Driving down CO2 Emissions
At The Electric Car Scheme, we understand that every person can make a significant impact to lower carbon emissions. Switching to an electric car is the biggest step you can take as an individual to reduce your carbon footprint.
Unlocking government tax savings
The government's tax incentives for electric cars promote sustainable choices. But they are complex and difficult to access. At The Electric Car Scheme, we make it simple to access the government tax incentives for our Net Zero transition.
The obvious choice
We believe sustainable choices should be obvious and affordable. That means no trade-offs. When the choice is better for your wallet and better for the environment – it’s a no brainer. We enable everyone to make the choice to accelerate the transition to net zero.

Flawless onboarding and launch support for our business

The onboarding team at The Electric Car Scheme are wonderful; from initial engagement, to credit checks and launching to the business; they explained everything, providing opportunities for check ins and questions as well as providing us with direct support- arranging webinars to launch to our team. The process was easy, smooth and meant we have had a great launch within the business. Thank you especially to Chris and Rahil.

Satisfied - from start to finish

From the launch, the process was clear.
Andrius Baltbarzdis was my contact person and he went through all options including second hand car. As I was narrowing the choice, Andrius inputs were excellent and detailed.
Once I decided on a car, he sourced the car and passed it on to his delivery team. Delivery was on 30 January as per the estimates previously provided.

Would recommend using TECS for corporate customers.

Great Service - Highly Recommended

As a business, we have used The Electric Car Scheme for a number of vehicles. This is the 2nd car I've had through this, and it's great value.
I worked with Henry, who supported me all the way, found me the car I was looking for and even managed to get the pricing down from the original listing.
Highly recommended.

I recently leased a Nissan Ariya EV through the Electric Car Scheme as part of a salary sacrifice arrangement, and the whole experience has been excellent from start to finish.

Ben Smallbone guided me through the configuration process, helped me choose the right setup, and answered every question clearly and patiently. Once the vehicle was booked, Aaron Figgett took over and kept in regular contact, providing timely updates all the way through to delivery.

Both Ben and Aaron made the process smooth and stress‑free, and their professionalism really stood out. Overall, the service has been very good and I’m extremely happy with the experience.

Great experience from initial contact…

Great experience from initial contact to my order being confirmed, and even post delivery. I have been dealing with Henry Flynn who has been my point of contact for the last 6 months or so. He has always been on hand to answer any questions I’ve had, very responsive, followed up when he said he would and overall a pleasure to deal with.

Even after taking delivery of the car, Henry has been in contact to ensure everything is ok and (off his own back) reached out to offer help with The Charge Scheme and making sure to complete public charging using The Charge Card, which worked perfectly with his instructions.

I've got nothing but good things to say about the service provided, particularly post-sale. Henry is a true asset to ECS. Thank you.

We’ll be sure to pass on your fantastic feedback to Henry Flynn. He’ll really appreciate the special mention, particularly for his responsiveness, follow-ups, and for proactively helping with The Charge Scheme.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about our service. We’re delighted to have Henry on the team, and we look forward to continuing to support you in the future.
