💡 Spotlight - loveelectric

In short, loveelectric is a “cycle to work scheme for EVs’. Making electric vehicles more attractive, more affordable and more accessible by halving your monthly car costs. We had founder Steve Tigar on Riding Unicorns in November 2021. Employers sign up to loveelectric and they take care of the rest. It works just like the popular bike-to-work scheme. Except you don’t even have to use your car to get to work. You sacrifice a small proportion of your salary in return for a new electric car, typically saving around 50% of the cost through income tax and national insurance. Monthly motoring costs changed, buying power changed, climate changed. It’s never been easier to loveelectric.
