Your Definitive Guide to the new Volvo EX60 Electric Car Lease

The new Volvo EX60 Electric Car Lease-Your Definitive Guide

Appealing to the hearts and minds of the UK driving community is essential if the Government wants to ensure that the uptake of battery electric vehicles keeps in line with the obligation of the ZEV Mandate, which is the political tool obligating vehicle manufacturers to create a certain number of zero-emission vehicles.

For 2026, the minimum is 33%, which is a big jump from the 26% set for 2025. While there is ongoing debate and discussion as to the percentages and application of this approach, the reality is that with each year there is increased pressure on brands to create more battery-led vehicles.

While hydrogen car leasing solutions may also come into play, this isn’t really expected for a number of years. As such, lithium-ion tech is the way forward for the next 5 - 10 years, at the very minimum. But is the Government doing enough to help spread messages about moving into an EV?

For 2026, a new campaign has commenced from our political powers - Switch to an EV and get that electric feeling - with a new useful guide and information focused government website.

The approach is now very much about demystifying the misnomers, misunderstandings and conjecture which has obliterated some of the pro-EV efforts from companies like ours. As you can see on the new website, the Government will be using various advertising campaigns to bring the clear benefits and pros of electric driving to the attention of the UK populous.

With key headlines, like the low cost of charging, robust ranges and convenience of use. The big headline is that “9 in 10 electric vehicle drivers would recommend an EV”. The reality is that the advantage of a BEV is no longer just reserved for businesses enjoying significant tax breaks and low company car tax.

Personal customers using leasing and PCP finance products are enjoying overnight tariffs for charging, lower service and maintenance costs plus having fun in what are fabulous machines to operate. The Government has also reiterated the Electric Vehicle Grants, which are to remain in place for the foreseeable. These ensure a Band 1 support of £3,750 or a Band 2 support of £1,500.

What is the best way to get an EV?

As listed on the new Clean Energy website, the Lease route is a preferred option with this offering flexibility, fixed monthly payments and “piece of mind” maintenance solutions. With e-car now rolling out new and used EV leasing solutions, many of our personal and business customers are reaping the rewards of this fixed cost motoring solution.

With both a standard SUV and the Cross Country alternative, the “longest range of any Volvo” is promising a practical performance, exceptional DC charging time via 800-volt technology, evolving technology via the HuginCore system, next generation of support and safety plus 1637 litres of cargo space in the front and rear of the vehicle.
