When we looked at expanding our business to include finance options, we were keen to remain focused on our original mission to “accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles” to the UK market.

So, we have taken our combined 20+ years of experience with selling and maintaining electric vehicles, plus lessons learned over the last 3 years of E-Van-Guru Limited and identified the challenges operators are facing.

With the expansion of the London ULEZ and Congestion Zone roll outs in many of the large cities in the UK and the EV legislation changes, operator costs are increasing at a frightening pace.

We have therefore decided to focus our Finance Solutions business in a way that recognises these challenges, plus gives operators a speedy solution.

Our Strategy

  • Using our knowledge and experience we offer competitive finance for electric cars, vans and e-scooters, utilising Finance Partners who have a proven appetite to fund electric vehicles, including new and used products.
  • We only offer finance to business users, with particular focus on small, medium enterprise businesses (SME) who need that mix of specialist advice for vehicle and charging options, as well as the best finance solution.
  • We will only market stock products, utilising our relationships with vehicle manufacturers and large dealer groups, we have a ready supply of electric vehicles that can be delivered within 10 days from completion of finance documentation (subject to any conversion work).
