Using a Hire Purchase
This is a straightforward loan where you make fixed monthly payments over a set period. At the end of the term, the EV is yours. A hire purchase works like a traditional loan, with monthly payments that include interest (APR), which is based on your credit rating. It is important to look at the overall cost of the loan (total term x monthly payments) and not just the monthly payments.
Using Hire Purchase also means that you are typically responsible for the maintenance as well as the wear and tear on the car - which is why a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or a Personal Contract Hire (PCH) may be more suited to you if you are looking to own your car over a shorter term (say 3 years).
