What you need to know about electric Audi leasing
It’s easy to see just why Audi EVs are among our most popular lease cars.
The German marque’s electric range combines high-performance engineering and luxurious interiors with the latest technology, creating premium cars that are efficient to run and produce zero tailpipe emissions.
Before taking out an Audi EV lease, you probably have a few questions, and we’ll attempt to answer them in this article.
Why lease an electric Audi?
Audi is one of the most popular premium car brands in the UK, and leasing makes it more affordable and accessible to get behind the wheel.
The key benefits of leasing an electric Audi rather than buying one include:
Affordable, fixed monthly payments: When you lease an Audi, you pay a fixed monthly amount to borrow it from a leasing company. The monthly fee is usually considerably less than it would be if you took out a loan to buy the same car on finance
Lower upfront cost: When buying a new Audi on finance, you’d usually be expected to pay between 10-20% of the vehicle’s value upfront. When you lease a car, the upfront cost is typically lower, working out at the equivalent of three, six, or nine monthly payments.
No need to worry about depreciation: A key benefit of leasing an electric Audi is that you will never own the vehicle, so you won’t have to shoulder the cost of depreciation or worry about reselling it later down the line – you simply hand it back to the leasing company at the end of your lease
Upgrade your vehicle regularly: And, once your Audi lease has ended and you’ve handed the car back, you choose what to do next - walk away or upgrade to a newer model

How much does it cost to lease an electric Audi?
The cost of leasing an electric Audi varies depending on the model and deal that you choose – there are options available to suit a variety of budgets.
When working out how much you need to budget for leasing an electric Audi, you should factor in the following costs:
Monthly payments: Your monthly payments cover the cost of financing your vehicle, vehicle registration, delivery, vehicle excise duty, and a full manufacturer’s warranty
Initial up-front payment: You can choose how much you pay upfront, usually the equivalent of three, six, or nine monthly payments – the more you pay upfront, the lower your monthly payments will be
Admin fee: This is a one-off fee to cover the cost of sourcing the vehicle and setting up your contract
Maintenance costs: You will either need to arrange maintenance and servicing yourself or add the optional maintenance package to the cost of your agreement
How far can an electric Audi travel on one charge?
Today, advanced EV technology means that modern electric Audis can cover an impressive range on one charge.
The exact distance varies between models but, generally, modern Audi EVs have a range of between 350-400 miles.
Where can you charge an electric Audi?
If you’ve not driven an electric car before, it’s important to consider where you would charge one.
Many people find that the most convenient option is to have a wallbox installed at home, allowing them to plug in their vehicle overnight and charge it from their home’s mains electricity.
Of course, you can also use the UK’s growing number of public charging points, available at locations like supermarkets, service stations, and car parks.
Many locations now offer ultra-rapid public chargers, making it possible to add significant range during a relatively short stop.
Are there tax benefits to leasing an electric Audi?
At LetsTalk Leasing, we offer electric Audi leasing for personal and business use, with significant tax advantages available on electric cars being leased for business.
When you opt for an electric company car, you will benefit from much lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates.
