Here at Lease Electric we are passionate about all things electric and all things leasing. We see the future of motoring as electric and the way to get there as leasing.
The world is changing with electric and ultra-low emission vehicles becoming more and more prevalent and no longer only bought by the early adopters, electric vehicles are the future.
Along with the technological advancements in motoring, the way people and businesses are buying cars is changing too, no longer being set on owning their cars outright and identifying the financial benefits of purchasing on finance or lease. Leasing is fast becoming the way to drive a brand-new car and with Lease Electric that way is the electric way.
In 2020 and after 8 years with Mitsubishi Motors, Managing Director Richard started Fleet Electric to help businesses understand the benefits of electric vehicles and support the adoption of electric cars and vans through leasing. In a world of limited resources and compounding climate change, Richard wanted to use his knowledge and experience in both electric vehicles and corporate business leasing to help accelerate the UK’s transition to net zero.
During Richards tenure at Mitsubishi Motors, the UK's leading plug-in vehicle manufacturer, Richard had responsibilities for UK corporate, daily rental, public sector and specialist vehicle sales in his role as a Corporate Sales Manager. He then later went on to become the Product Planning Manager with responsibilities for Mitsubishi’s UK product and pricing strategies, including electric vehicles, and its UK and EU vehicle and emissions compliance.
As part of his role as Product Planning Manager, Richard developed key and lasting relationships with the Governments Office for Low Emissions Vehicles (OLEV), Department for Transport (DfT) and electric vehicle charging manufacturers. This experience uniquely places him in the perfect position to advised businesses and help facilitate the uptake of electric cars and vans. Lease Electric is also a Jurni Partner.
In April 2024, Fleet Electric announced their official rebranding to "Lease Electric." This strategic rebranding reflects the company's continued commitment to promoting the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and its vision for a sustainable transport future.
The transition to Lease Electric is more than just a name change; it represents a renewed focus and dedication to providing businesses and consumers with accessible and affordable electric vehicle leasing solutions. With the rapid growth of the EV market and increasing demand for zero-emission vehicles, Lease Electric aims to be at the forefront of this transition by offering a consultative approach, ensuring customers choose the right leasing product for their circumstances and gain access to the best manufacturer discounts.
