Tusker and Geely Auto UK strengthens partnership to further support affordable electric driving
- Expanded partnership supporting Tusker’s mission to help more UK drivers access lower-emission, affordable cars through salary sacrifice
- Geely EX2 adds another competitively priced electric vehicle option for employees, with salary sacrifice making EVs more affordable and accessible for basic rate taxpayers
- Announcement follows Tusker reaching 100,000 vehicles on UK roads, reinforcing its role as the UK’s largest salary sacrifice car provider
Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, Monday 24 August 2026: Tusker, the UK’s largest salary sacrifice car provider and part of Lloyds Banking Group, has strengthened its partnership with Geely Auto UK to help more employees across the UK access affordable electric cars through salary sacrifice.
The enhanced relationship supports the introduction of the Geely EX2 to the UK market, adding another strong electric vehicle option to Tusker’s salary sacrifice car scheme. The manufacturer starting price is from £20,9901and alongside its practical design and zero-emission driving capability, the Geely EX2 is positioned at a highly accessible price point, helping to make electric driving more affordable and available to more employees, especially eligible basic rate taxpayers looking for a cost-effective route into electric motoring.
The announcement comes at a landmark moment for Tusker, which has now surpassed 100,000 vehicles on UK roads, underlining the scale of its support for employers and employees seeking to drive lower-emission, more efficient and more affordable cars.
Salary sacrifice remains one of the most affordable ways to drive electric, enabling eligible employees to access a new car using their gross salary and benefit from the comparatively low Benefit-in-Kind tax rates applied to electric vehicles. Recent BVRLA Leasing Outlook2 data underlines the growing importance of employer-led schemes, with salary sacrifice reported as the market’s fastest-growing funding model. For basic rate taxpayers, who pay 20% income tax, competitive monthly costs and lower running costs can make salary sacrifice a particularly compelling route into electric driving.
Tusker works with a wide range of automotive manufacturers to help customers choose the vehicle that best suits their needs. Strengthening the relationship with Geely Auto UK gives employers and employees further choice within Tusker’s electric vehicle offering, while supporting the shared ambition to remove barriers to EV adoption.
“At Tusker, our mission is to help the UK drive a better car by making lower-emission vehicles more affordable and accessible through salary sacrifice,” said Kit Wisdom, Managing Director of Tusker.
“The Geely EX2 is a great car at a great price point, and it adds another compelling option for employees who want to make the switch to electric, particularly basic rate taxpayers looking for an affordable monthly amount. By strengthening our partnership with Geely Auto UK, we can continue to support affordability, choice and accessibility for drivers and employers across the UK.”
"We are excited to be collaborating with Tusker as we prepare to bring the Geely EX2 to UK customers. The Geely EX2 is one of the most popular EV models around the world, with more than 460,000 units sold in 2025 in China alone,” said Michael Yang, managing director at Geely Auto UK.
“Geely Auto UK remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering new energy mobility solutions that combine advanced technology with exceptional value and more affordable ownership for users across the UK. Tusker's extensive experience in vehicle benefits and fleet electrification makes them an ideal potential partner to help introduce a practical, new energy vehicle to the market and together, we look forward to supporting greater EV adoption and helping more drivers experience the benefits of electric mobility."
Available to order from the end of August, the Geely EX2 is designed to offer a compelling combination of affordability, practicality and zero-emission driving, making it well suited to employees seeking an accessible route into electric vehicle ownership through salary sacrifice.
The collaboration supports Tusker’s broader commitment to working across the automotive industry to increase access to electric cars, help employers deliver valued benefits and give more UK drivers greater affordable choice.
