Electric vehicle leases

To support this effort we are working with DriveElectric to make it easier and more affordable for Orcadians to get electric cars and vans.

Since we launched in December 2020 ReFLEX Orkney has helped more than 200 people get an electric vehicle through leasing new and second-hand sales. Our experienced team can help find the right electric vehicle for you.

If you lease an electric vehicle through ReFLEX Orkney, your lease will be set up by DriveElectric. DriveElectric is one of the UK’s leading electric vehicle leasing companies providing excellent deals on new cars and vans.

ReFLEX Orkney provides face-to-face service in Orkney, with local test driving, vehicle collection and customer service from our Hatston office.
