Electric car leasing: a new way to go electric

Undoubtedly, leasing an electric car has established itself as an attractive option compared to traditional purchasing. This is because it allows you to enjoy a new electric vehicle, with included services and a much simpler and more predictable user experience.

In a context where the electrification of transport is key to advancing towards a more sustainable energy model, leasing presents itself as a practical solution for accessing an electric vehicle without large initial investments or complex management.

Electric car leasing as a mobility experience

More than just buying a car, leasing offers a new efficient mobility experience. Besides facilitating the adoption of the electric vehicle, it also eliminates the upfront payment, sets a monthly payment and transfers the management of insurance, maintenance, breakdown cover and charging point to the company. This avoids uncertainties and facilitates expense planning.

For example, through our Endesa Drive plan, in addition to the installation of the Waybox charger with certification, your plan also includes a monthly kWh allowance for public charging. Specific discounts are applied to the electricity tariff for charging during off-peak hours (weeknights and weekends and bank holidays), among other advantages.

In this way, electric car leasing allows you to enjoy current models, with greater range and better efficiency systems, without worrying about depreciation or technological obsolescence.

Charging, the key to enjoying the electric car

The experience with an electric vehicle revolves around where and when you charge. This is one of the determining factors for a positive experience. Therefore, having clear, accessible solutions adapted to day-to-day life will make the difference between comfortable electric mobility and an experience full of doubts.

Combining domestic charging with access to a network of public points is the basis for moving electrically with peace of mind, both on daily journeys and on long trips. In Spain, the 2.0TD tariff structure differentiates three energy periods (peak, shoulder and off-peak) and introduces two contracted power periods. This allows consumption such as car charging to be shifted to cheaper hours, and more power to be contracted only when it pays off.

On the other hand, the public car charging network is expanding more and more across the country: Spain ended 2025 with 50,000 operational points, and with a significant increase in rapid charging infrastructure, a vital alternative for 'eco-conscious travellers'.

Charging at home: convenience and control with Waybox

What is Waybox?

Waybox is Endesa's smart domestic charging solution, designed to facilitate electric car charging in private homes or communal garages. These are points with certified installation and options such as dynamic load balancing to avoid overloads. This provides safety and efficiency, adapting the service to your real needs.

Advantages of charging at home

• Convenience: domestic charging allows you to take advantage of the time when the car is parked, such as at night, without needing to travel to an external point. It is as simple as arriving home, plugging it in and waking up with the vehicle's battery fully charged.
• Off-peak hours: charging the vehicle during off-peak hours helps to optimise electricity costs. From 00:00 to 08:00, Monday to Friday, and all weekend, it is usually cheaper, so doing it in those slots will reduce the cost per kWh.
• Consumption control: with a dedicated charging point, the user can know and better manage the consumption associated with electric mobility, integrating it into their usual electricity expenses. Endesa's On Your Way app allows you to schedule, start/stop and monitor Waybox sessions, adjusting charging to optimal times.
• Safety: Waybox is specifically designed for charging electric vehicles, complying with current regulations. These set specific protections and requirements, offering greater assurance than a conventional socket.

How Waybox fits into your day-to-day life

Charging at home with Waybox turns using an electric car into a simple and predictable routine. You park, connect and schedule the session to run during off-peak hours, minimising costs and without overloading the system thanks to balancing.

Having your car charge while you rest is one of the keys to the electric experience. Furthermore, management from the app combines charging at home and charging at a public point, maintaining a history of consumption and invoices.

Charging on the public network: moving without limits

The role of public charging in the electric experience

Public charging complements domestic charging and extends the electric car's driving range during intercity travel. It is very useful for those who do not have a charging point at home, or to cover journeys that exceed the vehicle's usual range.

Different charging speeds according to need

Public charging points offer different power levels: fast, rapid and ultra-rapid. This variety allows the stop to be adapted to the time available. This ranges from a partial charge while doing other things (shopping at the mall, eating at a restaurant, etc.), to a faster charge on long trips.

It is most common to find rapid charging points at service stations, shopping centres and rest areas on motorways. On our charging station map, you can search for the most convenient station for you.

Planning routes with peace of mind

Planning provides security and eliminates uncertainty, one of the aspects that most worries those new to the electric car. For this reason, applications and platforms have emerged on the market that facilitate this preliminary route plan for travellers. Among them is Endesa's On Your Way app, which allows you to filter available points by location, manage the process in real time, control spending and charging history, as well as pay from your mobile.

Endesa Drive as an electric mobility ecosystem

Endesa Drive offers charging solutions both at home and on the public network, providing an electric mobility ecosystem designed to accompany you in various situations.

But our plan goes further: it includes leasing for 48 months, with no upfront payment and 15,000 km per year. It also includes the installation of a Waybox domestic charger with certification and up to 70 m of cabling, and charging on the public network with access to our exclusive Automotive tariff. This comes with an allowance of up to 200 free kWh, all managed from our app, among many other advantages.

What is the objective of this comprehensive approach? To simplify your experience and make it accessible.

What is day-to-day life like with an electric car on lease?

Urban travel

In the city, the electric car is highly practical due to its efficiency, immediate response and absence of direct emissions. Furthermore, by having the 'Zero Emissions' label, it can have unrestricted access to Low Emission Zones (LEZ), with parking and tax advantages in many municipalities. Leasing allows you to enjoy these advantages without worrying about maintenance or unexpected breakdowns.

Weekends and getaways

Due to their range and the possibility of charging at the destination or en route, electric cars are ideal for short weekend getaways. You can enjoy a simple and convenient trip, especially when combined with prior domestic charging.

You can opt for a night charge at home (off-peak hours) and the rest at the destination, or rapid charges on the way. With the included energy allowance from the lease and the growing public network, trips across the region are becoming easier.

Long trips

On long trips or journeys, planning stops at charging points is part of the route. It is advisable to adjust or combine rest times with stops, to take advantage of the time while the car is charging.

More efficient and quieter driving

Driving an electric vehicle is quieter and smoother, without vibrations, which enhances comfort on board. Furthermore, it promotes more efficient driving, aligned with energy saving and emission reduction objectives.

Common myths about leasing and electric cars

The growth of leasing for this type of car is increasing... as are the myths about electric mobility. The most repeated are: that range is insufficient, that charging is complicated or that leasing is only for companies.

The reality is that technological evolution in the automotive market and the expansion of charging point infrastructure have reduced barriers. Comprehensive solutions such as point installation plans in homes and car parks, discounts on electricity tariffs for this function, and platforms that facilitate the usage and payment process, have significantly boosted the profile of electric vehicles.

Who is electric car leasing ideal for?

Urban users

People who regularly travel through the city and seek an efficient and sustainable solution, as well as users with access to Low Emission Zones (LEZ).

People who want to try an electric car

The leasing option allows you to test the vehicle for a period of 36 to 48 months, without risk of depreciation. This lets you experience electric mobility without long-term commitments or large initial investments.

Drivers who prioritise convenience

Leasing is a very practical option for those who value having all services included, and prefer to avoid additional administration. For this reason, Endesa bundles everything into a single payment (vehicle, insurance, maintenance, Waybox, kWh at public charging points, tariff, etc.).

Households with a charging point or access to the public network

Having a charging point at your home, or nearby, makes your electric experience as easy as possible. Therefore, opting for Endesa's Waybox installation and taking advantage of access to public points will optimise costs. This combines charging periods in off-peak hours at home with rapid charging en route.

Electric car leasing represents a modern and flexible way to access electric mobility. It has established itself as a simple way to drive and charge without complications, since it combines car, service and charging solutions, public network and electricity tariff in a single service. Furthermore, with Waybox, your daily routine will simply mean arriving home, plugging in your car and forgetting about it until the next day. And for trips, the expansion of rapid charging infrastructure and planning tools make moving around Spain easier and easier.

In this way, leasing eliminates much of the complexity associated with technological change. It provides convenience, cost predictability and the peace of mind of a complete ecosystem, becoming the ideal gateway to quiet, more efficient and zero-emission mobility, aligned with the planet's energy future.
