EV leasing: Tesla cuts UK lease costs by nearly half amid sales slump, report saysBritish EV shoppers can reportedly lease a Tesla for just over half last year’s monthly rate, as The Times reports the automaker is offering steep fleet discounts to move inventory in the UK, reports Reuters. The news outlet said it could not immediately verify the report and Tesla did not comment. Overall UK new car registrations declined about 5% in July, indicating a broader market slowdown alongside Tesla’s sharper drop. Despite the dip, battery electric vehicles are forecast to reach 23.8% of new UK registrations in 2025, a slight upward revision from 23.5%, according to the SMMT figures referenced by Reuters.
