Meet Donna, one of our EV drivers from Bracknell Forest Council

Discovering the Scheme

For Donna Leedham, the journey to driving an electric car through Tusker’s salary sacrifice scheme began during internal managers’ meetings where information was shared, and was followed up by an email from HR.

Why Salary Sacrifice?

Donna was already in the market for a new car when the salary sacrifice scheme was introduced. After weighing her options, she found that Tusker’s offering stood out as the most cost-effective route. The key factor? The savings that she could make as the amounts are deducted through her salary, which also means no deposits or up-front payments.

“I ultimately chose the scheme because the amounts are deducted before Tax and National Insurance, making it a more cost-effective way to drive a new EV,” she explained. “I also appreciated that the package is all-inclusive, covering insurance and other essentials, which made the decision even easier.”

Choosing the Right Car

Donna decided on the MG ZS with two main factors guiding her decision: price and range. “I had price in mind from the start, and the number of miles the car could travel on a full charge was also really important,” she said. These practical priorities helped her find a vehicle that fit both her budget and her lifestyle.

Daily Driving and Lifestyle Fit

The new car is now a reliable part of Donna’s everyday life.

“I use it for commuting to work and for personal use—mainly ferrying a teenager around too!” she laughed. The EV has seamlessly slotted into both her professional routine and family schedule.

A Smooth Online Experience

When it came to placing her order, the Tusker website made things easy. “The website was user-friendly, with clearly displayed prices that were easy to understand,” Donna noted. The straightforward process helped her feel confident in her choice and in the logistics of arranging her new vehicle.

Would She Recommend Tusker?

“Absolutely—I already have!” Donna said.

She was particularly impressed by the value offered in the all-inclusive package and the efficient delivery experience.

“The service has been excellent, and the car was delivered much sooner than I expected. I had anticipated a long wait, but the process was smooth and easy.”
