About Us

We are WeVee. And together, we're electric.

 

We’re more than just an electric car business. Our mission is to dramatically increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), helping people and businesses make the switch to zero-emission mobility.

 

Our EcoMute™ (electric car salary sacrifice) programme, backed by industry giants like Lex Autolease, LeasePlan, Arval UK, and ALD Automotive, is designed to replace internal combustion engine vehicles with EVs. By offering innovative leasing options, we help our customers save money, eliminate tailpipe emissions, and embrace a sustainable future.

 

We believe in real solutions for real people, and we’re here to make it easy, exciting, and electric.
