Leasing an electric vehicle explained

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning an electric vehicle (EV), a novated lease could be the best, most cost-effective way.

With government initiatives reducing the costs of electric vehicles, and novated leases offering big cash savings, you could be on the road in an EV sooner than you think.

As part of the Federal Government’s Climate Policy, EVs with low-to-zero emissions are exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT).
What does this mean for you?
It means even bigger cost savings than typical novated leases.
You could save up to $30,000 over a 4-year lease*. For example, with Inside Edge, you can now lease the popular MG ZS SUV with a purchase price of $50,000 for the same monthly lease cost as a $28,000 Mazda 2 over a three-year lease*.

Which vehicles are covered?

To take advantage of the government policy, the vehicle must be one of the following:

BEVs are classified as all-electric cars. They’re powered exclusively by electricity and have larger batteries onboard. BEVs are charged before being driven by a home charger or fast charging station.

FCEVs produce electricity via a hydrogen-powered fuel cell, rather than exclusively drawing power from a battery. FCEVs are refuelled with hydrogen gas and don’t need to be charged.

PHEVs combine internal combustion engines with an electric motor and battery pack. They can be topped up with both electricity and fuel and will automatically switch between motors depending on the conditions. A PHEV can run on petrol alone if the battery is depleted and on battery alone if the fuel has been exhausted.

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), which do not require battery charging are not part of the government policy
