Electric Car Novated Leasing: Affordable, Tax-Free EV Ownership
Electric Vehicle Novated Leasing starts with the employer & our service is free to all employers
At Vehicle Solutions, we love and support the world transitioning to EVs. This started with our employees and the installation of free chargers at our office. This small incentive quickly saw the uptake of three new EVs, with more to follow.
However, the Federal Government incentive that now makes all EVs under $91,387 tax-free on a Novated Lease has transformed the EV market in Australia. Watch the video below that demonstrates the power of this tax incentive. This video shows how a Tesla is now more affordable than a Hybrid Corolla.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are an excellent choice for reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation. Transitioning to electric vehicles is crucial in combating climate change and improving air quality.
Living the electric vehicle ownership journey involves several key aspects:
- Vehicle Selection: Choosing the right electric vehicle that suits your needs is essential. Consider range, charging infrastructure, cost, and available incentives. Research different models and compare their specifications and features.
- Charging Infrastructure: Access to convenient and reliable charging infrastructure is vital for EV owners. Check for public charging stations in your area and ensure that you have access to charging points at your home or workplace. Installing a home charging station can provide added convenience and faster charging.
- Charging Etiquette: Be mindful of charging etiquette, especially when using public charging stations. Try to be considerate by not leaving your vehicle parked at a charging station after it’s fully charged so that others can use the available spot.
- Range and Trip Planning: Electric vehicles have a range limitation, so you must plan your trips accordingly. Take advantage of range calculators and navigation systems that help identify charging stations along your route. This way, you can prepare for charging stops to ensure a smooth journey.
- Maintenance and Service: Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than traditional internal combustion engines, which generally results in lower maintenance costs. However, regular maintenance, such as tyre rotations, brake inspections, and software updates, is still necessary. Familiarise yourself with the specific maintenance requirements of your EV model.
- Community Engagement: Engaging with the electric vehicle community can provide valuable insights, tips, and support. Join local EV owner groups, attend events, and participate in online forums to share experiences, learn from us and our partners, and stay updated with the latest EV advancements.
- Advocacy and Education: As an EV owner, you can contribute to the broader adoption of electric vehicles by advocating for clean transportation policies and educating others about the benefits of EVs. Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to consider electric vehicles and share your positive experiences.
By actively embracing and promoting the electric vehicle ownership journey, you play a vital role in driving the transition to sustainable transportation and creating a greener future.
Novated Leasing is entirely free for employers to establish and maintain. Vehicle Solutions will manage the entire rollout and vehicle management. If you want to set up this reward program at your workplace, please call us at 1300 990 880 or fill out the contact form by clicking the button below.
