EV salary sacrifice schemes are increasingly positioned as a cost-neutral employee benefit, with strong and growing uptake among UK employers. Yet, research suggests there is still confusion among employees about the true costs and savings involved.
This People Management Insight webinar, produced in partnership with The Electric Car Scheme, brings together HR leaders to unpack what EV schemes really look like once they’re live.
We’ll explore:
- Why employee demand is rising and what’s driving it
- Where schemes deliver clear value for organisations and employees
- The gaps, risks and misconceptions that only emerge after rollout
- What HR teams would change if they were starting again today
- How protection and scheme design are evolving in 2026
