This week's best electric car lease deals

After last week's exotic Lotus Eletre for the same sort of monthly cost as a Fiat 500e Cabrio – less than £750 per month using our standard terms - it's time to reel it in again with something more affordable. We are not going right down to the bottom of the price list though; instead we are looking at a surprising pair of Fords. 

The brand new Explorer has hit the lease list at a monthly cost of £474.80 for a 77kWh Select using our terms. That's reasonable enough, but the Explorer's big brother is cheaper, despite having a list price which is £13,505 more. A Mach-e Premium 91kWh costs £466.90. Which would you choose?

If you need something more sensible, then there is an interesting comparison at the very cheapest end of the market. The GWM ORA 03 is no longer the bargain it has been for a few months and seems to have returned to 'normal' levels. The Pure+ is now £229.04 per month using our criteria, with an advance of £1,673.04. 

That makes it more expensive than the Vauxhall Corsa Electric, which comes in at £216.65 per month. It's the top Ultimate model too, which is model is well equipped, and even with the less efficient smaller battery and old motor combination it is a still a good drive, and efficient too.

But you might think it's worth an extra tenner a month to have the bigger Nissan Leaf. It's now out of production so the company is shedding stock, and the monthly cost is £226.66 with an advance payment of £1609.96. It's the range-topping Tekna model too. If you can hold out, we'd expect these to get even cheaper.
