Electric car technology is moving quickly. New models are arriving with longer ranges, smarter tech, faster charging and increasingly capable batteries, which is great news for drivers looking to lease a car.
Leasing an EV offers the choice of a broad range of vehicles – from small city cars to sleek estates, family SUVs and sports cars – as well as a way to stay ahead of the curve without taking on the longer-term risks of ownership.
EV values have been changing as the market matures, with rapid advances in technology and a growing choice of models affecting used prices. With a lease, you’re not left worrying about depreciation and what your car might be worth when it’s time to move on.
What’s more, with fewer moving parts than petrol or diesel cars, maintaining an EV is much simpler. Even better, your service and maintenance can be included in your lease with GoLease!
Battery health is one of the big considerations when buying a used EV, but leasing means you can enjoy the benefits of electric driving without having to think too far down the road about long-term battery condition.
Newer generations are bringing further improvements in efficiency, battery capacity and technology. Indeed, reports show the 2026 average range for a new EV on a single charge is nearly 300 miles – a big jump from five years ago, where average EV range was reported at roughly 217 miles, with entry-level models closer to 150–200 miles. Leasing lets you make the most of new advances with the flexibility to upgrade, rather than committing to what could quickly become an outdated model.
An EV lease for all lifestyles
For personal drivers, leasing can mean enjoying a new EV, predictable monthly payments and the freedom to move on to the next generation when your lease ends.
For business users, there are additional attractions, from keeping fleet costs predictable to accessing the latest electric models and, where applicable, taking advantage of favourable tax treatment.
