Electric vehicles

To kick this off we have introductory discounts to make leasing electric cars and vans even more affordable with special rates exclusive to Orkney residents, with an offer that includes replacement vehicles, enhanced warranty, and easy trade-in.

You could save up to £150 per month on the market lease rate and around £4,000 in total on a new car lease.

• The details

  • Drive green, save green. Electric vehicles are already more affordable and greener to drive and repair than petrol and diesel cars. ReFLEX Orkney offers a rare opportunity to save even more.

  • Choose from the full range of electric vehicles offered by our supplier DriveElectric. When you take a look remember that the ReFLEX Orkney leases cost less than the prices shown on their website.

  • Below-market rates. Save up to £150 per month on the market lease rate through an outstanding discounted lease only available to Orkney residents.

  • Long-term savings. Save around £4,000 in total on a new car lease.

  • Lease prices include VAT.

  • Leasing is managed locally in Orkney by Jonathan Porterfield of Eco-cars, who has been supplying electric vehicles to Orcadians for many years and is working in partnership with ReFLEX Orkney’s experienced electric vehicle suppliers, DriveElectric.

  • Grant-supported. At the start of the ReFLEX project, grant funding is being used to support the affordable electric vehicle leases offered to Orkney residents. The grant is applied in a way that gives the highest percentage of discount to the lowest cost vehicles, with the aim of making them affordable to people who would previously not have been able to afford an electric vehicle.

  • FCA-regulated lease agreement. All leases will be managed by our experienced electric vehicle suppliers, DriveElectric.

  • Two- to four-year term. Leasing on a personal contract hire basis.*

  • Exclusions apply, including insurance. All leases require full comprehensive insurance when you collect your electric vehicle and for the duration of the lease.

  • Our current discounts, promoted since launch, will be available until the beginning of June 2021 or first 200 EVs leased, whichever comes first.**

  • An integral part of the Orkney energy system. Each vehicle is set up and monitored so its battery is a flexible energy storage asset within the wider integrated energy system.

• Additional benefits that come with your lease:
  • Easy trade-in for your existing diesel/petrol or electric car or van.
  • Replacement vehicle during servicing.
  • Enhanced warranty cover specific to Orkney.
  • Financial support with the installation of your ReFLEX EV Charger in the form of a contribution towards survey and installation costs.

  • Access to demonstrator electric vehicles.
  • Support and guidance to potentially buy your electric vehicle at the end of your lease.

* Your lease will be a Contract Hire Agreement. Excess milage and vehicle damage charges other than fair wear and tear may be payable. All contracts are subject to terms and conditions as detailed in the Contract Hire agreement. Early termination fees may apply if you wish to end the agreement early. Administrative fees and charges for delivery, including ferry, will apply.
