Is an electric car right for you?
Is an electric car right for me? That's one of the most common questions LeasePlan employees receive from clients, drivers, colleagues and friends!
Whether an electric car is right for you depends on a number of factors, including: driving habits and charging capabilities. The country you live in will also have a major impact on whether an EV is right for you, with charging infrastructure and government incentives differing country to country. Tell us a bit about your driving habits and we'll let you know how much of a match an electric car is for you!
