Zenith vs The Electric Car Scheme
Side-by-side comparison from the PerkIQ directory. Cover, pricing, regulator status, and fit at a glance.
The Electric Car Scheme
- 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.
- New and used EVs. A choice of new and used electric vehicles, with used cars typically delivered quickly.
- Day-one employer protection. Early-termination cover from day one, so the employer is protected from the outset.
- The Charge Scheme. A separate salary sacrifice arrangement for home electricity to reduce EV charging costs.
- All-inclusive lease. Maintenance, insurance and servicing included, with multiple funders accessed for competitive pricing.
- 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
- SMEs wanting a fast, low-admin launch: the platform is built for quick scheme setup
- B Corp-minded employers: certified B Corp credentials align with values-led organisations
- Budget-conscious drivers: used EV options and the home-charging scheme lower the total cost
- Very large enterprise fleets: better suited to SME and mid-market schemes than complex global fleet management
