Yes, you can generally choose the accessories and colours for your electric car – however, certain items may impact the availability or delivery lead time for a car. Lease cars typically offer a very broad range of choices (although some requests, especially very bespoke ones, impact lead times if the car has to be built in a manufacturer factory).
Subscription cars offer a more limited range of choices and this is based on what is available in the subscription car market at the time. As such, some accessories and colours may not be available at the time you quote or order your subscription car, but we will do our best to find alternative options that might work for you.
We always recommend letting our EV specialists know your preferences and how you plan to use the car so that we can do our best to source an electric car that meets your needs and that you are happy with.
What add-ons can I include with my electric car?
Add-ons differ between lease and subscription cars.
Subscription cars are provided as part of a package which already includes servicing, MOT, breakdown cover, insurance and road tax. You may also choose to have home charger installation included as part of your salary sacrifice package.
Lease cars are able to be added to a package tailored to your needs: you can include servicing and breakdown cover if required, you may include home charger installation, and car insurance may be made available by your company and be included on all cars ordered through the Scheme (subject to eligibility).
If you are including car insurance through the Scheme, please note:
You are responsible for ensuring that the details of all drivers covered by your insurance are accurate. It is also your responsibility to advise of any changes to circumstances which might affect insurance. Providing false information may invalidate the policy and you will be responsible for any costs incurred as a result.
The main driver will be covered for use related to the company’s business. Other forms of business use for the main driver and/or spouse/civil partner may be considered on a case-by-case basis. These details will be assessed prior to delivery of the car when the insurance broker reaches out to confirm your details. You will not be insured under this policy to drive any other car.
In the event of an insurance claim, you will be responsible for any excess. This cost will be passed on to you in the form of a service charge, collected by the repairer on completion of the repair, or may be deducted through payroll out of your net salary.
Additional details policy details can be found here:
Basic excesses are as per the below:
- Accidental Damage excess £250.
- Fire, Theft and Malicious damage excess £250.
- Replacement windscreen excess £75.00. No excess if the windscreen is repaired.
- An additional excess of £200 applies to drivers aged 21 to 24 for accidental damage.
- An additional excess of £300 applies to drivers aged 17 to 20 for accidental damage.
Your no claim bonus will not accrue whilst benefiting from the insured salary sacrifice car. If you decide to leave the Scheme, our insurance brokers will be able to provide you with a letter confirming your accident history during your term. Many insurers will accept this when considering No Claims continuity, subject to the detail of the history.
If you have any queries about your insurance cover, need to notify or report any changes, or need to add an additional driver during the term of your agreement, you can contact our broker Lloyd Latchford Group directly at 01844 276 498 or salarysacrifice@lloydlatchford.co.uk
