Looking at leasing 1st EV through NHS Fleet Solutions and there are a couple of options that are available which I have considered and just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on the following vehicles

Audi A6 Avant eTron
BYD Seal Excellence
BYD Sealion Excellence
Skoda Enyaq Coupe

Without knowing your requirements, any of them might be right for you.

Welcom to Pistonheads.

I think you should go for the Build Your Dreams Sealion Excellence just from the name alone!

We went for the the BYD SL7 comfort through NHS salary sacrifice leasing (tusker).

Very happy with it, coming from a Range Rover Sport.

EVs are all pretty similar to drive and own. On our NHS scheme prices vary alot, with some brand/models clearly being discounted whilst others are more expensive than normal lease/PCP even after tax/pension deductions.

Go for the best deal you can get, you need to check the cost for each model in a normal lease/PCP situation to workout if the NHS scheme is offering a good deal.

Yeah these are the "special offers" so priced accordingly. My instinct is Audi or Polestar and steer clear of BYD but they are under £425pm with insurance, maintenance etc included so well below PCH/PCP price points

^Polestar 3/4s are very cheap on Tusker at present. I had a look at Tusker, for cars with similar P11ds, if we didn't want a 6 seater car we would have gone for a pre-build Polestar 3, its really cheap on Tusker at present given the list price. However, if it's absolutely cheapest, it sounds like BYD is hard to beat.

Those Polestar 3 costs seem reasonable, does that factor in BIK cost as an average over the lease term?

Reasonable? Those prices are extremely cheap!

Our Tusker portal has the Polestar 3 starting from £850 per month.

26/27 only, detail quote does show increases over next few years.

Just checked this morning, 3s are now back up to £800+, there are 10 pre build 4s they clearly want to shift though. 48 months, 10k, single motor but under £500/month.

Yep - I've got those too. They come with the Prime pack so a good spec. Last year there were dual motor P4's in this spec for £500.

My current EV lease ends 12th December and i'm holding out for a better deal in December, else will continue with what I have (iX) and wait for Zeekr and Xiaomi to hit the UK next year
