Workplace travel network members to receive EV discount

Members of Smartgo workplace travel networks across the UK will be able to buy or lease a new Nissan Leaf electric car at a discounted price.

The move is part of an agreement between Nissan and Go Travel Solutions, and will enable Smartgo members to purchase vehicles at a discounted price, in addition to already existing government grants.

Russell Higgins, EV workplace manager at Nissan GB, said: “We are excited to partner with Go Travel Solutions to give Smartgo members the opportunity to learn about and experience the electric side of driving. As a further incentive to consider an electric vehicle, we are pleased to provide Smartgo members with access to substantially-enhanced discounts on the Nissan Leaf.”

Robin Pointon, managing director of Go Travel Solutions added: “With more grants available to help with purchasing of electric vehicles and with a better infrastructure for charging, there is a growing take-up of electric vehicles amongst UK drivers and the Nissan LEAF is leading the market. This is a tremendous financial saving for members of our Smartgo networks across the UK. With reduced purchase costs and running costs of just 2p per mile, the business case for electric cars gets ever stronger.”
