Leasing.com and Ezoo launch live‑price EV salary sacrifice

Leasing.com together with Ezoo has launched a new salary‑sacrifice platform for electric vehicles that uses live business contract hire rates to price each model, rather than relying on a static menu of prices. The approach offers dealers real‑time cost information for EV offerings.

Key takeaways

• Leasing.com and Ezoo created an EV salary‑sacrifice platform.
• Pricing is based on live business contract hire deals.
• The platform replaces fixed‑menu price structures.
• Dealers receive up‑to‑date cost data for electric vehicles.
• The service targets business‑to‑business leasing markets.

Platform launch and partnership

The platform is the result of a collaboration between Leasing.com, a major online vehicle leasing marketplace, and Ezoo, a provider of salary‑sacrifice solutions. Both parties aim to simplify the EV acquisition process for businesses that use salary‑sacrifice schemes.

The joint offering is positioned as a single digital gateway where users can explore electric models, enter their business details and receive a price that mirrors the current contract‑hire market. By combining Leasing.com’s catalogue with Ezoo’s salary‑sacrifice expertise, the service delivers a seamless experience for end‑users.

At launch, the platform covered a range of mainstream electric cars, allowing companies to compare options without needing to negotiate separate contract‑hire agreements. The live‑price model ensures the information shown reflects the most recent market conditions.

Live business contract hire pricing

Unlike traditional salary‑sacrifice tools that rely on a static price list, this service pulls live data from business contract hire agreements. Each price displayed is calculated from the actual rates that leasing providers are offering at that moment.

The use of live data means the quoted monthly cost can adjust as market rates move, protecting both the business employee and the dealer from outdated figures. It also removes the need for manual updates to a fixed menu each time a contract‑hire deal changes.

Because the platform accesses real‑time contract‑hire information, dealers can see how changes in mileage allowances, lease terms or residual values affect the final salary‑sacrifice cost. This transparency assists in accurate forecasting and budgeting.

Advantages over fixed‑menu pricing

A fixed‑menu approach presents a set of pre‑determined prices that may become stale as market conditions evolve. The live‑price system sidesteps that limitation by always reflecting current contract‑hire rates.

Dealers benefit from the ability to present up‑to‑date pricing to customers, reducing the risk of quoting figures that later require correction. This can improve trust and speed up the decision‑making process for businesses considering an EV through salary sacrifice.

The dynamic model also supports a broader range of vehicles, as each model’s price is generated on demand rather than being limited by a pre‑compiled list. This flexibility can help dealers showcase newer or niche electric models that might otherwise be omitted from a static menu.

What this means for dealers

Dealers now have a tool that provides immediate insight into the cost of offering an electric vehicle through a salary‑sacrifice scheme. The live pricing aligns dealer quotations with the actual rates that leasing partners are using, reducing the need for manual price adjustments.

Having transparent, up‑to‑date cost data can enhance a dealer’s ability to compete for business‑fleet customers, who increasingly demand accurate, real‑time information when evaluating EV options. The platform also simplifies the sales conversation, as dealers can reference live numbers rather than estimates.
