Leasing an electric car
Leasing a car has several advantages over buying one. Manageable monthly rates allow you to budget, while also allowing you to exchange your car for a new model every xxx to xxxx years. Often, leasing is available without a deposit, avoiding the need for a large initial investment. And when it comes to electric cars, leasing makes a lot of sense, because it allows you to always be up to date with the latest technical electric mobility developments.

If you decide to lease a car, you can enjoy a high-quality vehicle at relatively low monthly rates. Short contract periods allow the lessee to always be on the road with the latest technology. There are two additional advantages with commercial leasing. One key beneift is the tax deduction of the leasing instalment. If your commercially leased vehicle is a 100% electric car that is also used privately, this private use is only taxed at a rate of 0.25% on the tax base.

When buying a car, it's a good idea to take out a loan to finance the purchase price of the vehicle. The loan can be repaid in monthly instalments over a period of usually up to six years, making a large initial investment unnecessary. Although you only become the legal owner after the loan has been repaid in full, you can already use the vehicle without restrictions while paying it off - and you can decide independently on maintenance measures. The purchase of electric cars is financially supported in this way. In addition to an exemption from vehicle tax, the buyer benefits from government-sponsored environmental and innovation bonuses. In addition, many local authorities offer further individual subsidies and incentives.
Purchase of a vehicle is possible even if you don't have the financial means to buy the car outright in one go
Once the loan has been repayed in full, the vehicle becomes the property of the borrower
The loan can be repaid over a longer period (usually three to six years)
If it is an annuity loan, there is no need to pay a high final instalment
The vehicle can be used as much as you like. There is no mileage limit
