Best Electric Car PCP Deals - August 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. The government knows this, too, and has recently introduced the Electric Car Grant, which gives eligible models that cost less than £37,000 a discount of up to £3750. New models that have the high £3750 discount or lower £1500 contribution are added to an official list regularly.
We're here to show how affordable an EV can be, and have rounded up the best electric car deals regardless of their Electric Car Grant status on offer in the UK. Many electric cars are 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. Often, the lender applies interest to the loan, but many EVs benefit from 0% APR to encourage drivers to make the switch.
At the end of the finance deal, buyers can hand the car back with nothing more to pay, 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. And yes, that also includes the government's Electric Car Grant. This discount would be included if you opt for PCP, so 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 news if you're looking for a deal, as incentives like 0% APR, deposit contributions and free home chargers are all being offered to encourage drivers to switch to EVs, in addition to the government grant, which is part of a larger package of measures to make electric cars easier to live with.
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
The UK Electric Car Grant is a £650 million fund intended to make buying a brand-new electric car more affordable and encourage people to switch to an EV before new petrol and diesel car sales are phased out in 2030.
The maximum grant amount is £3750 off the car's OTR price, although a £1500 grant is available for models that partially meet the scheme criteria. Carmakers have to apply to add their models to the scheme, and only models that cost £37,000 or less are eligible, along with other conditions in order to qualify for the full amount.
Applications began on July 16, and the first models to qualify will be announced on August 11. However, carmakers including Leapmotor, GWM, Skywell, Smart, Hyundai and Volvo have all announced equivalent grant discounts so you don't have to wait to get behind the wheel of a shiny new EV at a discounted price.
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.
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.
