Side-by-side comparison from the PerkIQ directory. Cover, pricing, regulator status, and fit at a glance.
- Fleet management integration. EV salary sacrifice offered alongside full fleet outsourcing for cars and commercial vehicles.
- Pulse platform. Real-time reporting on orders, delivery status, emissions, accidents and terminations.
- New and used EVs. A range of electric vehicles with insurance, maintenance and breakdown cover included.
- Risk mitigation cover. Protection covering early departures, suited to larger and more complex fleet environments.
- Full EV range. New and nearly-new electric vehicles across the major makes and models on the UK market.
- Home charging bundled. Free Ohme home charger and installation, or a choice of 4,000 free charging miles via the Electroverse network.
- All-inclusive lease. Insurance for the employee and a named partner, servicing, maintenance, tyres and breakdown cover in one monthly figure.
- Early-termination protection. Cover for a range of life events so the employer is protected if an employee can no longer continue the lease.
- Renewable energy ecosystem. Links to Octopus Energy tariffs and the Electroverse public charging app for a joined-up EV experience.
- Mid-market and enterprise employers with an existing fleet to electrify
- Organisations wanting one provider for both fleet management and salary sacrifice
- Small businesses: the full-service model is geared to larger, more complex requirements
- Sustainability-focused employers wanting a benefit aligned with net zero and renewable energy
- Employees with home charging: the bundled charger and energy links deliver most value to drivers who can charge at home
- SMEs through to large institutions: the scheme scales from small teams to embedded, white-label programmes
- Employees without off-street parking: home charging is central to the proposition, so on-street-only drivers see less benefit

Free for the employer to set up and run. The cost is met by the employee through salary sacrifice, and the employer can save on National Insurance.
