GoMore offers a service where you can lease a car for hire through the same portal. It is actually a great opportunity to take the step over to an electric car life.

Are you considering going electric?

Eventually, everyone will be able to use an electric car, but everyone must find out for themselves when the time has come to switch. Then a short test drive at the dealer will not do. There are online solutions that replace - or complement - traditional car dealers, such as for example GoMore. Here you will find the electric cars on PC and mobile. Rent a new electric car for a day or weekend. If you get hooked, you can lease your own - and then rent it out when you're not using it.

Electric cars are like fresh produce

Would you buy a three-year-old electric car with a winter range of less than ten miles? Hardly. Today's electric cars have twice as long a range. Some electric cars go three to four times as far, but there is a waiting period for them. Exactly the is the biggest reason not to buy an electric car. Put yourself on a waiting list of over a year for a car that is becoming obsolete, when it should be replaced? In a couple of years, ranges and charging times will be far better than today. This will be the case for many years to come, but we can't stop driving new cars, can we?

Lease and rent

GoMore was the first to offer "lease and hire" as an extension of private car hire. The service offers several types of cars, but focuses on electric cars, partly because these can be leased without VAT. Moreover, they top the sales statistics. Electric cars are not only suitable for leasing, but also as a rental car. No tank to fill, free municipal parking, no tolls - and last but not least - given all the uncertainty regarding future technology, it is wise to lease rather than buying. The concept of "lease and rent" is entering the car industry at full speed. Møller Bil og Hyre also offers this, among other things in connection with the sale of Seat. Several car chains have announced that they will offer similar services. The advantage of GoMore is that you can manage the entire "business" through the same portal.

Leasing offers are like lobsters and canaries

Leasing is easy to calculate. Pure annuity calculation based on initial value, residual value, nominal interest rate and number of months. The rest are fees and supplements. The problem for the customer is comparing different offers. It will be like comparing "lobster and canary". Car dealers often advertise leasing with only one low monthly amount, while everything else is in fine print - or is omitted. The calculation is not complete until you get all the numbers on the table. But you get that not.
 
The leasing offers via GoMore include insurance and service. Some offers require initial rent, others do not. No information is given about the interest rate used, or other data basis for the leasing.

Hyundai Ioniq – A good example

Last weekend we rented a Hyundai Ioniq via GoMore. It was correctly priced and available nearby. The Hyundai Ioniq is a model that several thousand Norwegians have been waiting a long time for. Now it's all over the place. The Ioniq is a good example of a modern, well-equipped mid-range electric car. Hyundai has already come out with a brand new model, the Kona. It has twice the range of the Ioniq. But you may have to wait several months for it to be delivered. You can order the Ioniq via GoMore now and be on the road - and "in business" on the rental market - almost immediately.

You can get hooked…

Renting an electric car offers opportunities to drive longer trips, charge in different places with different plugs, drive economic and drive plain to see how it affects range. Driving an electric car provides a different driving experience than other cars. The constant and powerful torque. The total absence of engine noise, vibrations and noise. The weight distribution in the car. The possibilities to recover movement energy for extra kilometres. Modern driver assistance systems such as automatic steering and adaptive cruise control feel more natural in electric cars.
 
In the GoMore app, you can see which rental cars have been leased via the portal. It is about newer cars that have been acquired with a wholehearted desire to be rented out. How wholehearted the rental business really is er, tells the percentage for "Accepted" in the app. It shows the proportion of requests that the owner has actually accepted.

Rent - like - lease?

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is easy to like. The leasing price is 5 per month for a 900-month contract through LeasePlan with an annual mileage of 24 km including insurance and service. Assuming that you manage to cover 20 km a year, this gives a km price of 000 plus electricity. This is the same cost per kilometer that appears in the leasing industry's so-called "Red Book" of what the cars cost per kilometer. There, the Hyundai Ioniq ends up in 20th best place. The GoMore platform is designed to rent out the car you lease. If you live in Oslo-Bærum and rent out your Ioniq for NOK 000 (NOK 3,54 including insurance and service) per day, you will be able to rent out several days per month. Then you can go a long way in halving the leasing costs. So maybe you will also get others hooked on electric cars?

Let's look at the numbers

When you lease, you pay a rent that will cover the lessor's financial costs and loss of value. You don't have to tie up equity, but you also don't get any tax benefits like with a bank loan. When leasing an electric car, you avoid VAT.
 
Leasing companies rarely disclose interest and residual value. Therefore, we allow ourselves to break down the monthly leasing amount by estimated values. The greatest uncertainty rests on the residual value. The leasing companies can probably obtain a better selling price than the rest of us, on the day the car is to be sold on, - but will probably put in a "buffer" to cover risk. The point is that it isn't vi who risk being left with a beard in the mailbox on the day the car is to be returned.
 
Purchase price: 299 including technology package, metallic paint and winter tyres.
Contract period: 24 months.
Estimated residual value after 24 months: 215
Starting rent/cash amount: 0
Monthly rent per month: 5

ATTENTION! The figures below are simplified estimates made by Terje's cars to assess the reasonableness of the leasing offer. The estimates have not been confirmed by the leasing provider and GoMore.

Share the trip! GoMore has a ride sharing service. If you are going somewhere and don't have a car, you can check if someone is going the same way and offers a ride. Maybe someone will join and share the costs? The trip goes faster in good company!

The Hyindai Ioniq is perhaps the most sensible car to lease today. If you want something more exciting, the Tesla 3 is now available on GoMore - both for rent and leasing.
