⚡️How The Charge Scheme is Making EV Charging More Affordable ⚡️ Through The Charge Scheme, employees can now save 20-50% on the cost of charging their electric vehicles (EVs) via their company’s salary sacrifice scheme. This market-leading benefit covers charging at home as well as more costly public rapid and ultra-rapid charging stations, making electric driving even more accessible. 🤝🚘 As demand for salary-sacrifice EVs grows, one of the biggest challenges for both new and experienced EV drivers is the high cost of public charging. At The Electric Car Scheme, we’re committed to addressing this need by helping employees enjoy real savings on charging through salary sacrifice. John Godfrey, an MG4 driver, expects to save around £600 in his first year using The Charge Scheme since his company rolled out the benefit.
