The rate of electric car ownership is increasing globally due to environmental factors and advances that have been made in technology. Pivotal offers flexible and attractive subscription packages for you to choose from to get you started on your electric journey.
There are some differences you should know about when selecting an electric car subscription, however. Here are some of the benefits you’ll receive when signing up for an electric car subscription with Pivotal.
Lower rates for electric vehicles
To encourage others to join the electric revolution, the Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rate will continue until 2025 for all cars emitting 0g/km of CO2. Compare this to almost 40% you’d pay for the least environmentally-friendly cars and it’s easy to see why so many people are making the change.
As the nation aims to take huge steps towards becoming eco-sustainable, the ultimate goal is to see a halt in sales of all petrol and diesel cars by the end of the decade, but rather than waiting for 2030 to match the switch, this tax benefit presents an immediate advantage to electric car owners.
Environmentally-friendly spaces
Clean Air Zones have begun appearing all across the UK, including in Bristol, Birmingham, and Sheffield. If you’re driving a car that emits harmful chemicals above a certain threshold in these areas, you’ll need to pay a fee to do so.
Electric car drivers won’t face this payment, however.
Reaping the benefits of driving in these areas, when you’d otherwise be subject to a charge, makes it worth considering. Not to mention that the current trend suggests that other regions will also introduce similar Clear Air Zones e.g. Greater Manchester.
Cities impose a class system so drivers can find out beforehand whether their vehicle will be subject to the fee from their registration.
Charging your vehicle at home
The early days of electric car ownership saw frustration from some owners who couldn’t always source a charger when on the move. Times have changed but Pivotal wants to ensure that all owners of electric vehicles have access to at-home chargers through their subscription to Jaguar I-PACE, for instance.
In fact, there was almost a 10% increase in the number of charging devices at private residences in 2022 than there was the year prior. We’re determined to offer the best promotional advantages when signing up for our subscriptions for electric cars, with exciting news coming shortly.
Less commitment than leasing or purchasing
Maybe you’ve seen a new electric car on offer at Pivotal that you now prefer?
A change of heart can happen, so you shouldn’t be tied to something for a long time. When you lease or purchase a car, you’re unfortunately committed to at least the length of your lease term, or whenever you decide to sell.
After just three months, you have the option to pause your subscription. Better still, Pivotal delivers your new Jaguar I-PACE to your home to take all of the hassle out for you. Any information you need is available from our team of experts.
Stay in the black financially
Payments in the form of a monthly subscription mean that you won’t come into any debt because you’re not taking out a loan for the vehicle you’re subscribing to, you’re simply transferring money monthly as you would with a gym membership or TV subscription.
This means that no bank loans are involved, any notion of a finance provider is deemed redundant, and you can drive away with your brand-new electric vehicle without financial stress.
