Top 10 facts about EV subscriptions

If you want a new electric car but don’t want the long-term commitment of a lease – or the expense of an outright purchase – then an EV subscription service might be the solution.

Green Car Guide has been ‘road testing’ Onto’s EV subscription service. We’ve been driving a Peugeot e-2008, which is fun but also practical. The all-inclusive EV subscription service experience was hassle-free, and a great way to drive a new EV cost-effectively and without a wait.

We thought we’d find out more about EV subscriptions, so here are ten interesting facts about Onto’s service, and who uses it:

There are over 6,500 Onto subscribers

There are over 6,700 cars in the Onto fleet

90% of customers are driving an EV for the first time

The majority of Onto customers are 25-45 years old, primarily in urban areas but customers are all across the UK mainland

80% of Onto users are families with kids, and use their cars for daily family life

The majority of Onto customers use their EV as the primary car in their household

The majority of Onto customers use subscriptions as a long-term solution

Onto purchased the most passenger electric cars in the UK in 2021

Onto is currently the largest passenger electric car fleet in the UK.

Onto currently offers 23 different electric car models. Subscribers get 750 monthly miles as standard (which can be increased), and prices start from £489 per month. When considering the total cost of ownership, Onto subscriptions are usually more cost effective than equivalent 24 month leases when factoring in insurance, maintenance, servicing, and charging. There’s the added benefit of no initial deposit and the flexibility of just a one-month commitment.
