Top 5: electric cars for business leasing

Leasing is a form of financing that allows you to enjoy the experience of a new car for a predefined period - usually two, three or four years - before returning the vehicle. One of the main advantages of leasing is that you avoid a cash outflow by paying one instalment each month. At the end of the leasing period, you are free to choose whether to purchase the vehicle or withdraw. In France, there are two types of leasing:

• LOA or lease with purchase option (recommended for individuals)
• Long-term leasing (recommended for professionals)

Electric car leasing, sometimes referred to as long-term leasing (LLD) or leasing with an option to purchase (LOA), is a form of vehicle financing. Leasing is aimed at both private individuals and companies, and enables a vehicle to be leased for a period generally ranging from 12 to 72 months. During this period, the lessee makes fixed monthly payments to the lessor, who remains the owner of the vehicle. On signing the contract, the lessee receives a new car and pays a monthly rental fee. Depending on the contract, monthly payments may include additional services such as maintenance, consumables (tires, brake pads, etc.), assistance and vehicle insurance. Unlike a conventional loan, you won't have to pay any interest, and the final value of the contract stipulated at the time of signing will be the same when the car is returned. At the end of the contract, all you have to do is return the vehicle - in the case of a long-term lease - or buy the car - in the case of a lease with purchase option, if you ultimately wish to own the vehicle in question.

Electric car leasing gives you a fixed monthly payment. No more unpleasant surprises linked to your vehicle. If your leased car breaks down, you'll immediately have a replacement vehicle, and you'll spend nothing on repairs. Life's good, isn't it?

• Your vehicle(s) will always be adapted to your company's needs. Your business evolves over time, whether in terms of size or the diversity of its activities. Leasing allows you to renew your fleet on a regular basis, so you can be sure of always having the vehicles best suited to your business.
• Easier management. The manufacturer's warranty is valid for the entire rental period. The cost of the vehicle is defined in the contract, giving you visibility of your expenses and control over your budget.
• Your electric car is not considered the property of the company, and therefore cannot be seized in the event of default.
• Tax advantages. Companies subject to VAT can reclaim it on current expenses (maintenance, repairs, etc.). Professionals and self-employed workers can claim monthly payments as overheads.

Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset due to its use, technical evolution or the passage of time. The maximum depreciation on an electric car is €30,000. Let's take the example of a vehicle costing €45,000. The depreciation is 30,000€ and the non-deductible depreciation (AND) is 15,000€. In your accounting, all you have to do is include the non-deductible depreciation (AND). This amount is always identified on the quotation, order form and contract for your leased vehicle.

Here are the main advantages of car leasing:

• Smooth out your budget: instead of paying cash, you pay monthly installments known in advance.
• Fixed monthly payments give you peace of mind and control over your budget.

Car leasing is a long-term rental contract that allows you to lease another vehicle or purchase one at the end of your lease. Note that when you buy a car, you own it - and accept the associated costs, such as depreciation and maintenance. In the case of electric car maintenance, costs are much lower than with a conventional car. If your aim is to keep your monthly payment as low as possible, leasing could be your best option. Leasing instalments are generally lower than those for a car loan, because they are based on the depreciation of the car at the time you drive it, and not on its purchase price.

The first step is to set a budget based on your resources. The second step is to define your driving habits: do you drive long or short distances? Then you can start prospecting! Don't be fooled by offers that may be too tempting - you could be in for a nasty surprise. With or without a deposit, with or without insurance: contract prices can vary by as much as double. Always read the terms of the contract carefully before committing yourself. If you change your mind, remember that you have 14 calendar days (including weekends and public holidays) in which to withdraw from the contract.
