Tusker’s salary sacrifice electric car scheme: Dan’s Audi EV story

Meet Dan, one of our EV drivers from Nottingham City Council.

Choosing a brand-new electric car doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With a salary sacrifice electric car scheme, drivers across the UK are finding a simpler, more affordable way to make the switch.

For Dan, it was the perfect way to get behind the wheel of a fully electric Audi – with a smooth, straightforward experience from start to finish.

 

Why choose Tusker’s salary sacrifice electric car scheme?

Dan was looking for a new car, so Nottingham City Council introducing the Tusker car benefit scheme came at just the right time.

“I chose to take a car through the salary sacrifice scheme because it felt like the easiest and most affordable way for me to get a brand-new car.”

It quickly became clear that Tusker’s car benefit scheme was the best fit, offering a smart solution to get a brand-new car in one simple monthly amount.

Why switch to an electric car?

Moving to an electric car was already part of Dan’s plan – he just needed to find the right opportunity.

“I’ve always liked Audis and wanted to move to a fully electric car.”

After reading reviews and comparing different Audi models on the driver portal, he set his heart on the Q4 E-Tron Sport. The combination of performance, comfort and zero tailpipe emissions made it an easy decision.

Dan chose a stock car, which meant he could get behind the wheel of his brand-new car sooner than if he waited for one which was built to order.

“I would never go back to petrol or diesel now.”

 

Simple and easy-to-use ordering

One of the biggest highlights of Dan’s experience was how easy it was to order through the driver portal.

“The Tusker website was brilliant and really user friendly. It made the whole ordering process straightforward and stress free.”

Tusker offers thousands of cars for drivers to choose from, with a wide range of makes and models.

Whether you want to build a car to your exact preference or choose a stock car with quick delivery and regular offers, there’s plenty of choice.

A clear, easy-to-use journey meant Dan could explore his options, choose his car and complete the process with confidence – all in one place.

 

An EV that works for everyday driving

 

 

Dan uses his electric car for both work and personal journeys, so reliability and efficiency were essential.

His Audi EV fits seamlessly into daily life. With up to 337 miles on a single charge, range anxiety and regular trip worries aren’t a concern. It offers a smooth, comfortable drive while ensuring he can get where he needs to be.

Charging at home has made things even easier, helping him stay ready for the road without needing to rely on public charging.

“I charge at home as I took advantage of the free installation from Audi – it’s really easy and made things so much easier to be honest. I can charge overnight so the car’s ready to go as soon as I am.”
