Best Electric Car PCP Deals March 2025
Electric car PCP deals are here to help motorists get behind the wheel of a new EV as cheaply as possible.
One big sticking point of switching to an electric vehicle is high list prices. However, we're here to show how affordable an EV can be, and have rounded up the best electric car deals on offer in the UK.
Many electric cars are made available with PCP car finance. These are a long-term financial agreement that comprise an up-front deposit and monthly payments over a set period of, say, two to five years. They can benefit from 0% APR.
At the end of the finance deal, buyers can hand the car back with nothing more to pay, or buy the car outright by paying off a lump sum – or, most often, use the collateral in the car to put towards another new-car PCP deal.
Electric car deals are also available on outright hire purchase (HP) packages, while other deals simply offer considerable up-front savings for those who may want to pay cash.
Why are electric car finance deals so appealing?
Electric car finance deals are designed to help make the higher up-front cost of EVs more manageable. Spreading the payments over several years takes away the ‘sticker shock’. Add in the considerable savings you get from running an EV – charging from home is far cheaper than filling up with petrol and diesel – and electric car deals help turn EVs into real money-savers.
Carmakers are tied to the new ZEV Mandate, which means all car brands have to sell a certain number of electric cars each year or face fines. That's good new if you're looking for a deal, as incentives like 0% offers, deposit contributions and free home chargers are all being offered to encourage drivers to switch to EVs.
Best of all, an appealing electric car deal means you can get into a future-proof car for far less than you might expect. Check out the electric car deals here to see how much you can save!

Electric Car PCP Deal FAQs
Buying an electric car can be daunting for a number of reasons, ranging from the fact that an EV drives differently to the fact that recharging it requires a different approach from filling up a conventional car with petrol. However, one thing that isn't different is the fact that electric car finance works just like any other type of car finance. The vast majority of new cars in the UK are bought using PCP, and that's the most common type of electric car finance, too. Electric car HP, or hire purchase, is also popular, and there's also the option of Personal Contract Hire, commonly called leasing, if you don't need the option of owning the car.
Electric car finance helps make EVs more affordable by spreading the payments over several years. This offsets the fact electric cars oftne have higher prices than petrol and diesel cars. What's more, because the vast majority of new-car buyers use PCP to get behind the wheel of a new car, and carmakers want more people to switch to electric cars, there are some fantastic deals on EVs available, including 0% or low APR offers, significant deposit contributions that can mean you don't need to stump up any more than the monthly payments, and other incentives like free home chargers or charging credit to help get you on your way.
To help encourage new-car buyers to make the switch to driving an electric car, car manufacturers frequently offer competitive deals on EVs. These are often extremely tempting, and are aimed at turning the heads of even the most sceptical drivers who aren't planning to go electric any time soon. That's because, as part of the Zero Emissions Vehicles mandate, carmakers must sell a certain percentage of electric cars as part of the total fleet of new cars they sell in the UK or face significant fines.
Yes, is the simple answer. Providing you pass a credit check, which is standard practice with setting up all PCP agreements, getting a used electric car with a PCP requires the same process as with a petrol or diesel-powered model. If you're looking to buy a used electric car, it's worth bearing in mind how much of the car's battery warranty is remaining. Generally, although this varies a little between car makes and models, a battery warranty should cover the car's first eight years or 100,000 miles, so opting for the newest electric car with the fewest miles is worth considering. Luckily, there's more and more used EVs available, which helps make prices more affordable, too.
Before you sign up for a PCP agreement, it is worth ensuring you understand exactly what's expected of you, and any penalties you might face, should the car not be returned with just fair wear and tear. For example, it's worth figuring out how many miles you're likely to drive before you sign up, as extra miles have an impact on the car's depreciation, and thus come with a cost if you go over your agreed limit. The same goes for damage to the car that hasn't been repaired. Other things to consider are ensuring you can afford the agreement, as the car can be repossessed if you miss payments. If you terminate the agreement early, you can be subject to significant costs, too.
