Leasing an electric car is the simplest, most affordable route into zero-emission motoring — fixed monthly payments, full manufacturer warranty cover, and the flexibility to upgrade when your contract ends.
At Ready2Lease, we’ve seen a surge of interest in Chinese electric vehicles. Brands such as BYD, MG, OMODA, JAECOO, GWM ORA, and Leapmotor now deliver impressive design, performance, and efficiency — often at prices that rival or beat long-established manufacturers like Tesla, Volkswagen, Hyundai and Kia.
Below, we highlight the key Chinese EV brands you can lease through Ready2Lease, with clear comparisons, practical insights, and live leasing opportunities.

Frequently asked questions about Chinese electric Vehicles
All UK-supplied models meet full EU/UK safety and type-approval standards. Brands such as BYD and MG have proven track records, and ORA has received independent Eco Buy recognition. You can also expect to see longer warranties than some other brands, particularly on batteries.
Not at all. MG has an established UK presence, and BYD, OMODA and JAECOO are rapidly expanding and already have service centres in most major cities.
If you mainly charge at home, range may be less critical than efficiency. For frequent motorway driving, focus on models with faster DC charging, such as OMODA E5 or BYD Seal.
