Electric Vehicle Leasing by ICR Leasing

ICR Leasing is a fully self-funded leasing company, enabling us to offer funding to businesses of all sizes. Unlike typical 'tick box' approaches, we provide bespoke underwriting for our customers.

Electric vehicles attract gadget enthusiasts eager for the latest in vehicle technology, while environmentally conscious individuals choose electric to contribute to a greener planet. Financially, leasing electric vehicles is often more viable than purchasing, with lower monthly payments facilitating access to new technology and reducing emissions. 

The range of electric vehicles is expanding rapidly, including everything from superminis and family cars to luxury and sports cars, as well as people carriers and light commercial vehicles.
