Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Hire

PurpleSquare Hire offers electric and hybrid replacement vehicles as part of our commitment to sustainable transport solutions. Whether the requirement is credit hire, direct hire, or fleet replacement, we have EV and hybrid options available.

EV and hybrid options

We hold a growing fleet of fully electric and hybrid vehicles - saloons, SUVs, and selected commercial models - to match the way modern drivers and fleets actually operate. If your own vehicle is electric, we’ll replace it with electric. Like-for-like means the powertrain too.

Why this matters

  • You don’t want to switch back to petrol after a crash.
  • Fleet operators with sustainability targets need consistent EV provision.
  • Insurers increasingly need EV replacement options to meet policyholder expectations.

Charging logistics and support

We brief every driver on charging - connectors, public networks, and any home-charging considerations - before they drive away. If something doesn’t feel right, your handler is one call away.

How to request an EV/hybrid replacement

Call us on 01606 662300 and tell us your vehicle and your typical mileage. We’ll match the replacement to the role. EV/hybrid is available across credit hire, direct hire, and fleet hire.
