WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DRIVING ELECTRIC WITH LEAPMOTOR?

The knowledge that your car is producing less CO2 isn’t the only benefit of having an electric car, there’s also plenty of cost and performance benefits, take a look at some of the best:

Congestion Charge

The London Congestion Charge is a daily fee for driving in central London’s congestion zone. As of 2nd January 2026, the charge applies from 07:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and between 12:00 and 18:00 on weekends, with a daily rate of £18 for an indefinite period. Leapmotor vehicles qualify for the 25% Cleaner Vehicle Discount, reducing the fee to £13.50 until 4th March 2030

Ultra Low Emission Zones

Leapmotor vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions while driving and therefore can enter London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) without paying the £12.50 daily noncompliance fee. The ULEZ currently covers all London boroughs, and for drivers entering the zone daily, the cost of noncompliance could add up to £4,462.50 per year.

^The £4,462.50 saving figure was calculated by multiplying the £12.50 daily rate by the days in a year with the exception of the time period of Christmas day to New Years Day (including the holidays).

Company Car Tax (Benefit in Kind)

Leapmotor vehicles qualify for a 4% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rate for the 2026/2027 tax year. This will increase to 5% for the 2027/28 tax year. In comparison, petrol and diesel vehicles typically have a BiK rate of 20% to 37%, making a Leapmotor a more tax-efficient choice for company car drivers.

^^All figures are correct as of 27th March 2026.

Performance and Comfort

Our electric motors provide 100% torque meaning instant smooth acceleration but with low noise in comparison to a petrol engine making for a more relaxed driving experience. Our regenerative braking technology also means that less energy is wasted and mechanical parts can last longer.

WHAT IS TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP?

Purchasing a Leapmotor is more than just buying a high specification vehicle, it's a long-term decision that goes beyond the initial purchase price. That’s why it’s important to consider the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This includes the price of your vehicle, running costs like fuel or charging, maintenance, servicing, and vehicle tax.

When comparing powertrains, upfront costs can be misleading. While electric vehicles traditionally have a higher initial price, their lower running costs often make them more cost-effective over time. Charging is typically cheaper than refuelling, and EVs generally require less maintenance. That means with a Leapmotor, you get the best of both worlds; high level technology and specification and long-term savings.

Key factors that contribute to TCO include:

Energy or fuel costs* – EV charging can be significantly cheaper than fuel. For example, using the average petrol and electric costs for the UK (as of 2nd December 2025) the average petrol vehicle costs £17.64 per 100 miles to run, in comparison the Leapmotor B10 costs nearly half as much at £7.64 over the same distance.

Vehicle tax – Our Leapmotor full electric range costs £10 in road tax for the first year of ownership. In comparison the vehicle tax on a petrol vehicle is £440 for the first year if registered after April 1st 2017 (as of 27th March 2026).

Servicing & maintenance – Fewer mechanical parts in electric vehicles mean lower upkeep costs.

Finance payments - Although monthly agreements for a petrol vehicle can be more affordable than electric vehicles, electric vehicles can benefit from savings through tax, servicing and charging.

Range achieved in real world may differ according to factors such as accessories fitted, battery condition, weather, driving style and vehicle load.

The range and electric consumption figures mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. They may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as: vehicle load, accessories fitted (post registration), speed, thermal comfort on board the vehicle, driving style and outside temperature.

The charging time depends in particular on the power of the charger on board the vehicle, the charging cable and the type and power of the charging station used. Please contact your Leapmotor retailer for further information.

This guide is for illustrative purposes only. All calculations are strictly estimates and results should not be relied upon. There are a range of factors that affect the estimated costs which include (without limitation) grant availability; taxes; registration fees; energy prices; residual values; weather and road conditions; wheel and tyre type; accessories; driving habits; mileage; servicing & maintenance; and general regional cost variations.

*Fuel costs are based on a 100-mile distance and are indicative and based on an average current fuel price of 137.01p a litre and electricity costs of a fixed rate of 26.35p per kWh. This calculation has assumed 100% of home charging. These prices can fluctuate. This is a simplified calculation and may not reflect your actual fuel/energy costs, which vary depending on a number of factors, such as your driving style, tyre pressure, what you are carrying, heating & conditioning, the type of fuel you use and road conditions. The petrol fuel consumption used in these calculations was 8 (l/100km) and is not representative of all petrol vehicles, some vehicles will be higher and some will be lower.
