While vehicle financing used to traditionally be the domain of the in-house banks of big manufacturers like BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen, nowadays normal European banks are also entering the leasing market. Companies are also increasingly interested in leasing fleet vehicles or machinery. After all, in these financially unstable times, it\u2019s important for companies to stay solvent. And ideally, the rates for leased EV fleets are financed by the profits realized from the leased products.

We explain the most important ones below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Full amortization contracts<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you conclude a full amortization contract, you as company owner pay all the costs associated with the acquisition and servicing of the vehicles as well as the lessor\u2019s profit share during the term of the contract. At the end of the term, the vehicle becomes your property.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partial amortization contracts <\/strong><br \/>\nHere, only part of the total cost of the vehicle is paid for during the term of the leasing contract, not the entire cost. At the end of the term, a residual value remains and the vehicle is returned to the leasing company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kilometer contracts<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you conclude a kilometer contract, a specific mileage is agreed upon with a specific time (e.g., around 50,000 kilometers per year for three years). Deviations from the agreed mileage are settled at the end of the term. Kilometer contracts are available with or without the option to buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Residual value contracts<\/strong><br \/>\nResidual value contracts are the most popular form of leasing contracts, whereby you agree upon a specific residual value with the leasing company. If the vehicle is sold for less at the end of the term, you have to pay the difference. Any surplus proceeds are shared between you and the company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-hm5a1-5-33125cc9043eebd9f52059cd62003287'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7917 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/900x666_Leasing_Artikel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/900x666_Leasing_Artikel.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/900x666_Leasing_Artikel-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/900x666_Leasing_Artikel-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/900x666_Leasing_Artikel-705x522.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hm5a1-4-76c3e4ab9b2ec50e2579660a8e31794b\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-hm5a1-4-76c3e4ab9b2ec50e2579660a8e31794b .avia_textblock{\n-webkit-column-count:2;\n-moz-column-count:2;\ncolumn-count:2;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 989px){ \n#top .av_textblock_section.av-hm5a1-4-76c3e4ab9b2ec50e2579660a8e31794b .avia_textblock{\ncolumn-count:1;\n}\n.av_textblock_section.av-hm5a1-4-76c3e4ab9b2ec50e2579660a8e31794b .avia_textblock.av_multi_colums > p:first-child{\nmargin-top:0.85em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-hm5a1-4-76c3e4ab9b2ec50e2579660a8e31794b'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_multi_colums'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><strong>The financial advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All electric vehicles with a registration date between May 18, 2011, and December 31, 2025, are exempt from vehicle tax for a maximum of ten years up to December 31, 2030, after which your drivers will be required to pay just 50% of the usual vehicle tax rate.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this tax break, another one is available for anyone who drives an electric company vehicle: The standard 1% rule for the private taxation of company vehicles with combustion engines is reduced to just 0.5% or even 0.25% for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>For electric vehicles with a gross list price of more than \u20ac60,000 (including optional extras), 0.5% of the value as new must be taxed as a noncash benefit.

A vehicle subscription is essentially a long-term rental at a fixed monthly price that includes all maintenance expenses (though normally not the electricity). So unlike when you lease or purchase an electric vehicle, you don&#8217;t have to worry about insurance, maintenance or T\u00dcV certification. Many leasing providers also offer vehicle subscriptions for the period during which a customer has to wait for their desired EV model. Thanks to the high degree of flexibility available with many contracts (with minimum terms of anywhere between one and six months), vehicle subscriptions are also ideal for anyone who wants to try out a few models first before taking the plunge into the world of e-mobility.

You don\u2019t have to worry about the residual value risk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s state-of-the-art EV technology might be old hat tomorrow. The rapid pace of development in the world of battery-powered vehicles naturally impacts the residual value. With the right contract (kilometer leasing), the entire residual value risk for a leased vehicle lies exclusively with the leasing provider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You always get to drive the latest EV model<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As soon as the term of your leasing contract ends, you can conclude a contract for the latest model. The rapid pace of technological development means that you always enjoy the very latest performance when it comes to range and charging times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The batteries will always last<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most manufacturers of electric vehicles now offer warranties of five to eight years on their batteries. So people who purchase an electric vehicle may at some point during the vehicle\u2019s lifetime need to replace the battery, which can be very costly. Since the leasing term for an electric vehicle is always shorter than the electrical endurance of the battery, the lessee doesn\u2019t have to worry about replacing the battery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Leasing is cost-effective thanks to the environmental bonus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since leased vehicles in Germany are also eligible for an environmental bonus, leasing rates are often very cost-effective. To find out whether other countries also offer incentive programs that make leasing even more cost-effective for your company, check the regularly updated federal subsidy database.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Leasing is good for your balance sheet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Leasing keeps you competitive even in financially challenging times. The vehicles are off-balance, and lease expenses are recognized as operating expenses.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-3a876428eececa9d35452247ddb053af hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_promobox  el_before_av_promobox '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='av_promobox av-kbupbijg-2-0ef99cbc4fb4af191019f6cf6580d5a8 avia-button-no  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><div class='avia-promocontent'><h6 style=\"text-align: right;\"><\/h6>\n<h2><strong>Intelligent charging<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve already explained <a href=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/new\/clever-gekoppelt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> how you can intelligently combine e-mobility and power generation: with a PV system and EV fleet \u2013 purchased or leased.
