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.

Great Experience

The whole process was seamless from start to finish and the turn around time was really quick. Zahir and Ben really help throughout the process and answered any questions or concerns that we had. Great service all round.

Brilliant

Brilliant. There was alot of back and forth with my order, availability, affordability, delivery etc. but the people I spoke to to (Sam, ash, and I believe Marcus?) genuinely seemed like they wanted to get the best outcome for me, and now I have a car I'm really happy with. Understanding and great service throughout, including several follow up calls to make sure I'm happy with everything absolutely 10/10

Responsive, Professional and Knowledgeable.

Right from the beginning the team was very impressive and created a very positive experience through the process. As a busy executive, my initial conversation with Sarah Giles made it clear that this was the company we wanted to go with. Subsequently, Alex Antoni and Marios Christophi were amazing to keep me informed and proactive around next steps and also on hand to help with any questions.

I had a very excellent experience. The staff at TECS were very helpful, patient and friendly. Chris was my first contact and he made my experience in searching for the perfect car for my needs very enjoyable. He was always ready to help and available to answer any burning questions. After purchase he remains my go to person when unsure what to do.

The Electric Cars Scheme....

I recently took delivery of a new EV via the ECS. Great selection of cars and great customer service. I had lots of questions to begin with but the team were always happy to help and kept me updated regularly between ordering and delivery. The whole process from car selection and ordering, to charger install and car delivery/handover was hassle free. Highly recommended.

Great experience. Highly recommend

My first experience with The Electric Car Scheme has been fantastic. From searching deals, selecting and ordering your car and being kept up to date with your own dedicated support agent. It has been great from start to finish. My car arrived this morning and I am very pleased. A special thank you to Aaron Figgett, who kept me up to date along the way.

Alex Antoni - Great Experience!

Had a really good experience with Alex Antoni at Electric Car Scheme. He was very helpful and knowledgeable while helping me sort a car through the salary sacrifice scheme.

He explained everything clearly, answered my questions very quickly, and made the whole process feel a lot more straightforward than I expected. It was easy to deal with him and I felt well supported throughout.

Would happily recommend Alex to anyone considering the scheme :)
