Discounts on electric and hybrid cars

Autumn Sale now on!

The question that naturally follows is, “what happens to car batteries?” have you wondered what happens to the car battery at the end of their life? The question is very important since car batteries can use a lot of rare elements like Cobalt. A more sustainable way to manage the menace is to assess the environmental impact of used batteries from electric cars, find out how to reduce it, and make positive steps towards the goals for a more sustainable world.

### What are batteries in electric cars?

Electric car batteries are used to power electric cars or hybrid electric vehicles and provide electricity as a source of fuel instead of petrol or diesel. The batteries are rechargeable and mostly use lithium-ion technology for a high capacity and energy density. Electric car batteries are different from the common acid battery used in classical car ignition and lighting.
The global industry for battery production for electric cars uses graphite, metal oxides, and lithium salts. Multiple elements are used to produce positive and negative electrodes that are then combined with an electrolyte. Electric car batteries are usually bolted onto the chassis of the vehicle to store electricity and power the electric motor(s).
Different technologies are used during the manufacturing of batteries for electric cars. Common technologies are lead-acid Nickel-metal hydride, sodium nickel chloride, and Lithium-Ion. The lithium-ion battery is the most commonly used with little data on the capacities of the other technologies. The lead-acid battery supports up to 130 kilometres after a full charge, while lithium-ion has a much larger potential, with capacities between 6.1 kWh to108 kWh that support up to 780 km of range (Mercedes-Benz EQS).

### The second life of used batteries

After years of use, the battery capacity of an electric car battery wears down and might have to be replaced along the way. Once the battery has less than 70% of its original capacity it won’t fully support the high demands of an electric car’s needs (fast charging, high energy output) anymore. These batteries can still provide a lot of value to other energy storage systems. They can especially be used in a second-life to  of energy such as wind, which have varying amounts of power.

### Recycling of used batteries

Electric car batteries can last more than 10 years but even after a second-life approach they will need to be recycled at some point. One viable method is to recycle the electric car batteries and to use the different components gained for the manufacturing of other products. There are at least five recycling methods:

- Pyrometallurgical recovery, 
- Physical materials separation, 
- Hydrometallurgical metalextraction, 
- Direct recycling method, 
- Biological metals extraction. 

Battery recycling has been performed in Switzerland since the early 1990s to recover metal and to convert polluting substances to less harmful variants. Old car batteries can be recycled worldwide, with at least 96% of their components recycled. Newer lithium-ion batteries like those used in Tesla’s can be recycled up to 92 %.

### Conclusion

Electric car batteries do have an impact on the environment due to the rising demand for certain metals and materials used in their production, but recycling and second-life applications of used electric car batteries help to further improve and reduce the carbon footprint that electric cars generate. In addition, the battery manufacturing industry is continuously looking for different materials to improve the energy density while reducing the environmental footprint simultaneously. Solid state batteries are one example of the potential next step in the battery industry. Additionally, the renewable energy sector and power grids in general have an increasing demand for energy storage solutions which provide a second-life application to used car batteries and further reduce their footprint through a prolonged time of use before they can be recycled. 


Tesla recently announced that it has the capability to recycle 92% of the car battery.

If so, you're probably asking yourself the following questions: How easy is it to install a Wallbox, and how much does it cost? Below, we take a look at how these devices work and help you answer the question of whether you need a Wallbox at home.

### What is a Wallbox?

Wallboxes are wall-mounted chargers that usually replace the charging cables used to connect the standard sockets in vehicles. There are various models, including the 1-phase models with 3.6 kW and 7.4 kW (32 A) and the 3-phase models with 11 kW (16 A) and 22 kW (32 A). The 3.6 kW and 11 kW wallbox models are the most popular because they work well with the 1-phase and 3-phase sockets commonly used in Switzerland. The 22-kW boxes, however, let you charge faster when three-phase current with 32 A is available. These can also be downsized to 11 kW three-phase or 7.4 kW for single-phase connections, making them a good choice.

### Understanding Wallbox costs in Switzerland 

The cost of charging at a Wallbox is roughly the same as the price of electricity. In Switzerland, this is about CHF 0.20 per kWh. In contrast, public charging systems cost on average about CHF 0.60 per kWh. So a home charging solution is always cheaper. In addition, public subsidies can be obtained for wall charging stations, which lowers the costs. In Zurich, for example, homeowners can claim back 40% of the installation costs or CHF 80 per kW of connected load for chargers up to 22 kWh without load management. If load management is installed, the subsidy increases to 60% of the installation costs or CHF 150 per kW of connected load (whichever is lower).

### Charging capacity and charging time

The charging time depends on the capacity of the car battery and the power of your wall charger. There are Phases I 3.6kW (16A) and 7.4kW (32A) and Phase III 11kW (16A) and 22kW (32A) power levels, and total charging times can vary significantly. Below you can see the charging time for different powers for a BMW i3 with a range of approx. 300 km.

- 3,6 kW - 12 hours
- 11 kW - 6 hours
- 22 kW - 3 hours

In contrast, charging a BMW i3 via a standard household socket takes 19 hours. As you can see, you can fully charge your car with 11 kW in 6 hours while you sleep.

### Using a wall charger at home

If you own your home, you don't need special permission to install a wall charger, but if you rent, you have to ask your landlord to approve the installation. The same applies if you are using a rented garage. Wherever you install the box, the result is a compact unit with an integrated charging cable and cable holder that looks a bit like a normal petrol pump or without an integrated cable. It doesn't take up much space, is easy to use, and becomes part of your daily life in no time. Many models have coloured LEDs to indicate charging status, and app control is also common to make the box easier to control.

### Installing a Wallbox in your home

If you want to install a wallbox privately in your home, you will need to call in an electrician. He will check the home's power supply to make sure it meets the requirements for electric vehicle charging, lay all the necessary cables, install the box and make sure everything works properly. The cost of a professional wallbox installation in Switzerland is around CHF 3,400, including the cost of the charging station. The charging station itself (e.g., 11kW III-phase) costs around 1,600 CHF.

### Do you need a private wall charger?

There are many reasons to install a Wallbox at home. A Wallbox at home is convenient because it allows you to charge your car in your own garage. It is safer than direct cables because it can control the charging load for different car models. It can charge faster than direct cables and costs less per kWh. This is because Wallboxes are more efficient and therefore the energy loss during charging is less than a normal socket, which can lead to a lower cost per charge. Sophisticated load management systems also ensure that the batteries are charged evenly and minimize the risk of damage. However, it is not suitable for everyone. If you don't have a parking space at home, installing a wall charging station is not an option. But if you charge at home and have the necessary space, a private wallbox installation is definitely a good investment.

### With our partner TCS and its charging stations, you can charge from home.

If you want to charge at home, TCS charging stations are the way to go. TCS charging stations work via standard three-phase sockets and are suitable for cars with Type 1 and Type 2 sockets. You benefit from installation by qualified TCS technicians, and the plug-and-play design makes it easy to get started. There is no easier way to benefit from the most cost-effective charging solution for electric vehicles.

Full casco insurance combines multiple insurances to create a comprehensive car insurance package.

With comprehensive car insurance, you and your car are covered in the event of damage caused by a collision, natural hazard, a malicious incident, theft, and other unfortunate events. 

Collision insurance covers any personal injury and property damage caused by your car.

Full casco insurance is included in all the prices you find on gowago.ch. In the event of a breakdown, on-site breakdown assistance, towing, onward transport, and overnight accommodation are included in our All-in-one package, as well as the return of your car after an accident, breakdown, or theft. 

The price of full casco insurance varies heavily depending on the car you are driving, your age, and your gender.

Where gowago.ch does not discriminate between different people, a typical full casco insurance package from other leading insurance providers that do look like this:
![fullcasco EN NEW-01](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/5emUl3pVCAbAsknMsbxkta/80d89843bc83fd953df52581210cf8cd/fullcasco_EN_NEW-01.png)
#### Parameters:

- Škoda Octavia 1.5 TSI G-Tec Style Kombi - 5 doors - 130 HP - M-automat - 38460 Fr.
- BMW X3 xDrive 30e Kombi - 5 Doors - 184 HP — A-Sequent — 68200 Fr.
- Tesla Model Y Long Range Kombi - 4 doors - 351 HP - Direkt - 62000 Fr.

#### For each car, we used the following parameters:

- Location: Zürich
- Year of registration and purchase: 2021
- Kilometres/year: 10’000
- Purpose of use: Private
- Country of citizenship: Switzerland
- Gender: Female/Male

As you can see, 20-year-old men must pay about CHF 100 more than 20-year-old women because they are more often involved in accidents compared to women. 

In the groups of 35- and 50-year-olds, the price differences are minimal – between CHF 1 and CHF 10 — but in both cases prices are higher for women. Only the price of insurance for a Škoda Octavia for 35- and 50-year-old men is higher. 

Additionally, insurance for the Tesla Model Y is the most expensive on the current list, as the more horsepower the car has, the more expensive it is to insure.

At gowago.ch, we offer full casco insurance for any car of your choice at fair and attractive prices, no matter your age or gender.

You probably know about neo-banks - now there's also neo-leasing from gowago.ch. Ten reasons why most people will conclude their next car via neo-leasing.

It is compulsory to have full casco insurance when you lease a car in Switzerland.

How much is full casco insurance?

Car manufacturers have released a lot of new hybrid and electric cars with tons of tech inside, which could be the beginning of a change where people will be more courageous to buy a fully electric car.

![Ladestation in gowago.ch](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/1lRw1v2kXTFhKV0dPdwEeM/8b5c10788af442d53b6854c06d96fe39/gowagocharging.jpg)

## What are electric and hybrid cars and what types are there? 

An electric car, as the name suggests, has an electric engine instead of an internal combustion engine. Whereas a normal combustion-powered car turns liquid fuel into motion by triggering an explosion in the cylinder, the latter turns electricity into motion thanks to a rotor that rotates in a magnetic field. So, a car with a combustion engine has a fuel tank, while its electric counterpart has a battery. The most popular electric car 2021 in Europe is the [Tesla Model 3](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?make[0]=tesla&model[0]=model-3).

A hybrid car combines the characteristics of an internal combustion engine and electric propulsion, by two sources of energy provide propulsion. Hybrid cars can be divided into three groups: 

#### The classic HEV hybrid
The first hybrid that debuted 20 years ago and was pioneered by the [Toyota Prius](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?fuelType[0]=hybrid&make[0]=toyota&model[0]=prius). This type of hybrid has the additional function of supporting the combustion engine during acceleration and does not have the possibility of recharging from an external power source. It gets its energy from the combustion engine or during braking.

#### Plug-in hybrid PHEV 
In this type of hybrid, the driver has the possibility to charge the car from an external energy source. The capacity of the battery is usually several kilowatt-hours, which translates into several dozen kilometres of driving in emission-free mode. For example, [Volvo XC40](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?fuelType[0]=hybrid&make[0]=volvo&model[0]=xc40) in the hybrid version has a range of 40 km, so driving in the city can be done in emission-free mode.

#### Mild hybrid MHEV
This is a type of hybrid that combines the functions of the starter and alternator, but is not able to drive the car itself. Energy recovery in mild hybrid cars takes place during braking as well as during deceleration. 

## Charging electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles

It goes without saying that electric cars need to be charged, because without a charged battery, you cannot drive them. However, when it comes to plug-in-hybrid cars it’s not necessary to charge as they can rely on their combustion engine. Nevertheless, it’s worth charging them for economic reasons. If you drive your car to work, or you often drive in the city, a range of 40-50 km should be enough to get you around with electric power on a fully charged battery.

However, when it comes to charging electric cars, simply put, you need access to electricity. You have three options: 
- charging from a household socket, i.e., charging with alternating current (AC), 
- charging with fast chargers that have a direct current (DC) source, 
- and the option of installing Wallboxes, i.e., home charging stations. 

Take the example of the [Audi e-tron](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?make[0]=audi&model[0]=e-tron), which has a range of over 400 km. A full charge using a 230 V household socket, i.e., approx. 2-3 kW, would take more than 40 hours. When using a three-phase installation — 11 kW — charging time reduces to about 9 hours. However, if you want to charge your car faster, using a charging station DC (50 kW). You can charge it in 1 hour 45 minutes. The fastest way to charge your car is to use a charging station DC (150 kW) because it takes less than an hour. However, if you don’t need full charge, with DC 150kW you will charge your car up to 80% in 30 minutes. 
If you are wondering what the fast charger infrastructure in Switzerland looks like, it’s very extensive and grows every year.

## Advantages of electric and hybrid cars

Electric cars are the vehicles of the future and offer emission-free and quiet driving. The same applies to plug-in hybrids, which can be charged and driven purely electrically over short distances. [E-cars](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?fuelType[0]=electric) have less technical wear and the brakes last longer because of recuperation (recovery of energy during engine braking). With a mileage of more than 10,000 kilometres per year, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is lower than for cars with fossil engines - as mentioned in the article ["E-Auto, Hybrid oder Benziner? Das musst du wissen – Teil 1" in 20min.ch](https://www.20min.ch/story/e-auto-hybrid-oder-benziner-das-musst-du-wissen-teil-1-961212416557). The TCO includes all expenses including service, maintenance, fuel and more. Depending on the canton, cars with plugs are also exempt from traffic taxes or receive additional subsidies.  Last but not the least, you don’t need to stop for petrol if you want to use your car on usual daily trips because you can use your charging station at home.

## Disadvantages of electric and hybrid cars

With a mileage of less than 10,000 kilometres per year, the TCO of electric cars is currently no better than that of fossil fuels due to the high purchase price. However, electric cars are becoming cheaper, particularly rapidly in the compact class. Battery costs have also halved in the last five years — by 2024 the cost will probably be less than 100 US dollars per kWh. However, these cars need charging facilities, which may involve additional investment costs. It’s also worth mentioning that the time of charging electric cars is much longer in comparison to combustion engines. For example, if you have a [Tesla Model Y](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?make[0]=tesla&model[0]=model-y),  you need ~ 22 minutes to charge the car to 80% — that is a range of about 328 km (full range 410 km) using a special Tesla Supercharger. Considering the trip from Zurich to Hamburg — about 1’000 km — you have to stop at least 3 times, and it takes more than 1 hour, so your trip is automatically extended. If you have an engine car you will need to stop only once or twice for petrol, shortening the necessary stopping time to less than 30 minutes.  

## Is an electric car or hybrid car for you? 

First, you need to define your driving profile: What range and battery capacity do you need? Where is the vehicle used and what type of driving makes sense? Charging infrastructure is important: Where and how fast can you charge? If you are not convinced about switching from an internal combustion engine car to a fully electric car, a hybrid is a good first choice. It is an in-between option that shows you “what it's like” to have an electric car. Thanks to this, you are able to make the right, fully aware choice. 

The proportion of plug-in cars is [gowago.ch](https://gowago.ch/en/deals?fuelType[0]=hybrid) currently 15 percent, and the trend is growing. ¾ of these vehicles are pure electric cars, the rest are hybrids.


With the era of the combustion engine set to end in Europe in 2035, electric cars are becoming increasingly popular.

10 reasons for Neo-Leasing

You live in Switzerland and have just bought a new car? Then you should know that it's not just a question of paying a regular monthly rate. Whether it's a purchase or a lease, commonly known as a lease with purchase option, each car model obtained hides hidden costs related to this investment. In fact, these are extra costs that must be included in your car budget each year. They should be taken into consideration as soon as you take possession of your car.

## The various hidden costs

### Full CASCO insurance
When you own a car, you are required by law to take out partial or full car insurance. In Switzerland, if you have purchased a car through a lease option, Full-CASCO insurance is compulsory. This is an insurance policy with full cover for all damages, even if caused by others. In other words, it covers you against various risks including fire and natural phenomena, theft, collision, destruction or damage. The annual cost of the insurance depends on a multitude of factors such as the model and year of your vehicle, your age and your driving experience.
__Full CASCO insurance: CHF 840 on average per year.__

### Repair and maintenance
Having a car means thinking about regular repairs and maintenance. That's why drivers must be prepared to pay significant costs related to this hidden cost. Changing a faulty part or having an oil change is an expense to be avoided, usually in addition to the monthly leasing rate. 
__Repair and maintenance: CHF 1,300 on average per year__

### Tyres
Changing your tyres is also one of the hidden costs of maintaining your car properly. To do this, you need to include in your maintenance budget the cost associated with two tyre changes per year. But also the cost of storing your tyres if you don't have the space to store them at home.
__Tyres: CHF 800 on average per year__

### Annual taxes
In addition to the cost of your lease to be paid monthly, owning a car requires the payment of an annual fee to your canton. Each motor vehicle is also subject to a traffic tax, also known as the road traffic tax. The calculation of this tax depends on a number of criteria, including the canton, the power, the cubic capacity and the total weight of the car.
__Taxes: CHF 300 on average per year__

The hidden costs when you get a car

![Land Rover](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/3wWEegGjBnVMXjyiUOA7N0/dec327bbd85761b25224997a8d82a553/Land-rover-leasing.jpg)
The coronavirus pandemic has had an impact on the Swiss leasing market and the Swiss economy in general. However, the trend is upwards thanks to the explosion in demand for safer, more secure individual means of transport. It goes without saying that leasing is a process that allows thousands of households to drive modern cars for monthly payments that remain affordable. As well as being flexible, leasing a car for a fixed period of time also allows you to save money. There is no better way for a household to control the budget for their car.

## Leasing a car in excellent condition at a lower cost
More and more people are interested in leasing in Switzerland. Studies have shown that almost half of the cars on Swiss roads are using this means of payment, and it seems that this number is growing steadily with some dealers now reporting 80% of their cars being sold over leasing

__But did you know this?__ Leasing a car is also possible on used car models which offer a more accessible selling price and in consequence a reduced monthly payment. Gowago.ch offers you in its catalogue a wide choice of second-hand vehicles in leasing with interesting monthly payments for a period from 12 to 60 months. By choosing a second-hand model instead of a new one, you can make potential savings of between CHF 3,000 and 5,000, depending on the model of the car and its mileage.

Taking the example of a used [Audi A1](https://gowago.ch/en/deals/leasing?make[0]=audi&model=a1) Sportback 30 TFSI S-tronic with a mileage of 2500 km, displayed at a list price of CHF 35,500. With standard leasing parameters - 48 months - 10,000 km/year - 15 % down payment, the monthly all-inclusive used leasing instalment amounts to CHF 530 (CHF 626 if the vehicle is new).

## Consolidate the costs into a single monthly payment
Leasing providers are working harder and harder to give private individuals the opportunity to get the most out of their leases. With this in mind, gowago.ch has launched the all-in-one offer on the market. This offer combines insurance, taxes, maintenance costs, tyres and warranty in a single monthly payment, which not only reduces costs but also saves time. 

So you can rest assured that gowago.ch's All-in-one service removes the fears associated with getting a used car: the costs associated with service and maintenance and a vehicle without a warranty.

__Why lease a second hand car rather than purchase?__
The success of leasing is also due to the lack of interest in buying a car among private individuals, especially young people. Moreover, why should they do so? Driving a car out of the dealership makes them lose 20% of their investment, hence the constant interest in leasing as a purchase option. Don't forget that if you're a heavy car user, you have absolutely no interest in buying a new one, which will see its residual value halved after 3 years. This new car will have cost an enormous amount of energy, time and money to depreciate after only a few years. Never forget that, unlike real estate, a car loses value over time.
It is a fact that a used or new leased car costs you considerably less than buying it, and what's more, you can change it if you wish. One of the biggest advantages of leasing is that you don't own the car, but can exchange it for a newer model or buy it off when you want.

10 new and used cars for less than 1000 CHF / month all inclusive

![10 000 CHF sparen](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/4CxXLmAmpHBq1u690ieUTI/a5584ecf581090e659afa7c8e86456dd/pourquoi_leasing.svg)
Leasing allows you to purchase a car with a different payment plan and reduces the impact on your portfolio. However, everything does not always go as planned, unforeseen and sometimes steep bills can compromise your budget planning in the acquisition of a car. Gowago.ch provides you with 6 wise advice to help you in your choices and assists you in order to save up to CHF 10,000 on your leasing budget and to avoid additional costs.

## Consolidate all the running costs into a single monthly payment.
To facilitate your budget planning and save money, gowago.ch offers you the All-in-one formula. The All-in-one contract gives you the possibility to benefit from a monthly payment including all the necessary services and additional costs. This formula combines the comprehensive insurance of your vehicle, the taxes related to registration and cantonal road tax,the tyres as well as their storage and change, as well as the extension of the guarantee. Saving time and money, this formula offers specific discounts and allows you to pay all the possible charges of your vehicle in one monthly payment. Over a leasing period of 48 months, you can expect to save between CHF 1,000 and 2,000 compared to buying separately. 

__Potential savings: from CHF 1,000 to 2,000__ 

## Choosing leasing on a second-hand vehicle
The leasing is also available on used car models, which offer a more affordable selling price and ultimately a reduced monthly payment. Gowago.ch offers you in its catalogue a wide choice of second-hand vehicles in leasing with interesting monthly payments for a period going from 12 to 60 months. By choosing a second-hand model instead of a new one you will be able to make potential savings of between CHF 3,000 and 5,000, depending on the model of the car and its mileage. Taking the example of a second-hand Audi A1 Sportback 30 TFSI S-tronic
with a mileage of 2500 km, displayed at a new list price of CHF 35,500. With standard Leasing parameters - 48 months - 10 000km/y - 15% down payment,  the second-hand leasing rate offers you a monthly payment of CHF 530 all inclusive (CHF 626 if the vehicle was new).

__Potential savings: from CHF 3,000 to 5,000__

## Choosing the right mileage
The lease contract defines the number of kilometres you plan to drive with your vehicle. Thus, to prepare the acquisition of your leasing, it is imperative to evaluate the use of the car in order to extrapolate the distance you could drive. The excess mileage provided for in the contract is generally penalized at a rate of 20 cents per kilometer. Thus, you will have to choose the mileage adapted to your needs in order to avoid paying penalties at the end of the leasing contract. A wise choice of mileage will allow you to potentially save between CHF 200 and CHF 1500.

__Potential savings: from CHF 200 to 1500__

## Opting for a vehicle with a high residual value
The residual value of a vehicle plays an important role in the budget when choosing a car for leasing. As the residual value is the amount to be paid  before taxe at the end of the leasing contract if you decide to exercise the purchase option, it influences the monthly payments during the lease. The greater the residual value, the lower your monthly payment will be, but the purchase price will be higher. By choosing this method, you can save between CHF 2,000 and CHF 10,000 in leasing rates.

__Potential savings: from CHF 2,000 to 10,000__

## Negotiating a trade-in
The car trade in has proved to be effective in limiting your expenses by finding out more about the value of the vehicle and negotiating a good price. You can make some savings and invest the money earned for the down payment of a leasing contract. With this strategy, you can save between CHF 3,000 and CHF 10,000 when negotiating the lease.

__Potential savings: from CHF 3,000 to 10,000__

## Choosing the right insurance coverage
When the vehicle is returned to the dealer at the end of the lease, the car is examined for wear and tear not covered by the contract. This step can be very expensive if you are not well prepared. In order to avoid unforeseen expenses at the handover of the lease, gowago.ch offers you its full casco insurance which covers most of the risks at the handover and avoids surprise invoices. If you take out this insurance, you can expect a possible saving of CHF 500 - 2000 compared to other insurances.

__Potential savings: from CHF 500 to 2,000__

# The best leasable Hybrid cars in 2020 

Due to the new  CO2 standards, hybrid vehicles are growing strongly in Switzerland. In 2019, one out of ten registered cars is equipped with alternative motorisation. This is expected to increase further this year in line with the government's environmental guidelines and compliance with the CO2 standard.

## What are the differences in a hybrid car?

Hybrid cars combine combustion engines with electric batteries. A distinction is made between the traditional hybrid car and the rechargeable hybrid car (PHEV). Their difference lies in the capacity of the battery and the means for recharging. A hybrid car, also known as a "Full Hybrid", is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 1kWh. Its range is limited and its maximum speed is around 50 km/h. More recently, "mild hybrid" vehicles have appeared. They are equipped with an electric motor to assist the combustion engine during acceleration. It is a simple support and cannot replace the combustion engine. However, it reduces consumption and is cheaper to install.
Finally, the Plug-in Hybrid is equipped with a more powerful battery that can be recharged from an electrical outlet like an electric car. Its capacity varies between 8 and 12 kWh and offers a range of 20 to 60 km with a maximum speed of 120 km/h. The combustion engine takes over when the car exceeds the maximum speed allowed by the battery power or when the battery is discharged. The battery is recharged at a charging station or a 220 V socket.
Hybrid cars are appreciated for their lower fuel consumption compared to a petrol car and their lower CO² emissions. The combustion vehicle generates a loss of kinetic energy in braking or deceleration mode, while the hybrid recovers this energy to recharge the battery. In built-up areas, a hybrid car consumes little fuel and makes little noise. If you are considering buying a hybrid car, here are the qualities of the best 2020 hybrids and their cost when buying a lease.

## <a id="cclass">C Class combi</a>
![C Class combi leasing](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/4D3lOb70lm51ChpGqcZsul/faaf0ef67f69be233c85cda5a3c745bd/c_class.jpg)
The C Class combi is Mercedes' second hybrid model available in diesel and petrol versions with an electric range extended to 59 km. It is equipped with a 9-speed 9G-TRONIC PLUS gearbox with 306 bhp in diesel and 320 bhp in petrol. The 13.5 kWh battery is identical on both engines. The battery requires 3.5 hours and 7 hours to be quickly recharged from a wall socket. The Mercedes C Class Combi consumes between 1.4 and 1.9 l/100 km with CO2 emissions of between 36 and 44 g/km.

- Rechargeable hybrid
- New price from 60 402 CHF
- Lease amount: CHF 652

## <a id="swift">Suzuki Swift</a>

In the war against CO², each manufacturer offers a model. Instead of existing hybridisation systems, the Japanese manufacturer chose micro-hybridisation by coupling its petrol engine with a 12 V lithium-ion battery. The advantage of this grafting between battery and engine is a reduction in CO² emissions and a reduction in consumption to 4.0 l/100 km with 90 g of CO². In addition, the remarkably efficient Stop & Start system limits fuel consumption in the city and reduces pollution. This well-equipped city car is unanimously acclaimed for the quality of its finishes and comes in 5 versions.

- Mild hybrid
- Purchase price: CHF 11,772

## What future for hybrid cars in Switzerland?

Switzerland will put 300,000 cars on the road by 2020. Alternative forms of propulsion will increase again this year, following a record 88.6% increase in 2019. The big winners of this growth are electric cars (+157.7%) ahead of hybrids (+68.0%). In this market, the future of "plug-in" hybrid models, which can be coupled with a rechargeable battery and a diesel or petrol engine, looks very promising. This latest version of the hybrid vehicle serves as a bridge between the all-electric vehicle and the combined combustion engine and battery. This type of vehicle also allows manufacturers to preserve their production sites without having to invest in new production lines.  Although the purchase price is more expensive, the advantages of these "transition cars" are numerous and appeal to drivers looking for clean and more fuel-efficient vehicles.

## The electric car market in Switzerland in 2020 

Even if sales do not yet account for a significant share of the market, their development shows that the electric car is on the upswing. According to a study by Auto Suisse, its market share in Switzerland will reach 5% in 2019. Attitudes are changing and the environmental impact of cars is on everyone's lips. 
These changes have a direct impact on the sales strategy of manufacturers, who no longer hesitate to get out of SUVs and sedans. For the first time, Volkswagen has set up a complete assembly line for the production of the VW ID3 at its Zwickau plant in Germany. It is expected that 100,000 vehicles will be produced in 2020 and 330,000 in 2021. In response to the demand from motorists, manufacturers are increasingly focusing their efforts on autonomous cars, although the average driving distance in Switzerland with an electric car is estimated at 40 km.

Here is an overview of the performance of the most popular electric cars in 2020 and their price to lease them.

Top 2020 - Electric cars leasing 


![Auto-Leasing-Rückgabe](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/2S7xCJ6igLusktLz3almaC/9adffda6880afa1ec5c71dd42022e257/Return_a_car_lease.png)

At the end of the lease term, the leased vehicle has to be returned to the lessor, who may then charge the lessee for depreciation due to the wear. Therefore, one should not approach the return of the vehicle too recklessly and expect that everything will already be arranged by the provider. You often risk a hefty bill, but one which you can protect yourself from, if you observe a few basic rules and invest a little effort. 

## Contract clauses - What matters?

The first basic rule is very simple: You should know your leasing contract and the terms agreed upon it. In most contracts, the sum still outstanding at the end of the contract is calculated from the tabular residual value of the vehicle, taking into account extraordinary wear and tear and possible damages. This is also known as a residual value leasing. In rare cases, the mileage of the vehicle is decisive. In this case, a compensation payment is only due if the lessee exceeds the permissible mileage. In most cases, however, leasing companies offer the first option and may include the mileage restriction as an additional clause in the contract. In these cases, exceeding the permissible mileage is regarded as a reduction in value, irrespective of the condition of the vehicle.

## Determine the value of the vehicle

Since the residual value of the vehicle is calculated from various factors such as age, model, mileage, engine and condition, the layman is usually well advised to have the value of the car estimated by an independent appraiser at the time of return. On one hand, you have a counter-assessment if the lessor's assessment is less favourable. Damages that the lessor may have discovered, which were valued lower on his own appraisal or were not present, offer a good basis for negotiation in the event of disputes over certain details. On the other hand, you can consider other options before returning the car.

## Find a buyer for the car yourself

If you want to avoid the costs of returning the car, you can sell the vehicle yourself at the end of the contract. The purchase price achieved can often even be higher than the transfer fee still to be paid to the lessor. In addition to your own expert opinion, it is advisable to compare the prices for cars of comparable age and condition online. In many cases it makes sense to invest some extra time. Instead of selling the car privately, you can of course get an offer from a dealer, especially if you're thinking about leasing a car again. A new contract partner for leasing may offer you better conditions and a higher price for your vehicle if he can conclude a contract for it.

## The condition is decisive

Regardless of whether you want to return the car to your leasing provider or sell it elsewhere, it is always in your best interest to know the exact condition of the vehicle and to document it. If you have already had an expert opinion drawn up, the garage has probably already documented the vehicle with photos. If not, you should make your own photos of all parts of the car that show the condition of the paint, headlights, rims and interior.

## How are damages assessed?

This is also an important point. Not everything that appears to be a damage at first glance can be claimed as such by the leasing company. Leasing providers occasionally try to declare minor blemishes such as minor dents and fine scratches in the top coat, as damage that affects the residual value of the vehicle. It is good to know that small paint damages such as dents with a diameter of less than 2 cm are not  regarded as damage, but as normal wear and tear. These must therefore not appear as defects in your acceptance certificate. The same applies to scratches in rims or wheel covers: these are also considered normal wear. Even 10 cm long scratches on the bumper and radiator grille are considered normal wear.
Here too, however, it pays to not only clean the car thoroughly before handing it over, but also give the paint a polish. This not only enhances the car's appearance and makes it look like new, but it can also remove lighter scratches. The interior should also be clean and free of odours. In particular smokers and/or animal owners should be particularly thorough here, in order to free the vehicle of traces of cigarette smoke, ashes or hair. Dirty and/or worn floor mats will also affect the residual value, as will worn upholstery. An intensive cleaning in a specialized workshop or with a special upholstery cleaner can possibly do a good job and save a few francs.
There are also requirements for the tires with regard to their condition when they are returned. Tyres must have a tread of at least 1.6 mm. You are not obliged to return the car with a second set of tyres if it was delivered with only one set at the start of the contract.

## On return

If the return is actually due, you should consider the following points: 
- It is best to return the previously cleaned and documented vehicle in the presence of a second person and have the handover acknowledged with time and date. 
- It is important to discuss the condition of the vehicle with the lessor on the spot and have any visible damage described in detail in the handover report. 
- The length of existing scratches and the size of paint damage should be exactly listed there. 

If there are any discrepancies between you and the lessor, the handover report should also state that you do not agree with the assessment. The actual approval of the residual value of the car is carried out in the lessor's workshop. Take your time to go through any defects in detail and compare them with your own appraisal. Especially minor paint damage and scratches are not seldom listed on the return certificate, but must not be evaluated. So don't just accept the expert opinion, but check it thoroughly so that you won't be overcharged here.

## Conclusion

So if you take a little initiative on your own, you can estimate the additional costs you will incur at the end of the lease before you return the car. This provides you with a better basis for negotiation and you don't have to rely solely on the lessor's expert opinion, which sometimes contains points that can be challenged. In particular, you should pay attention to the exact recording of damages and possibly have an independent expert opinion drawn up, as this will enable you to counter any claims and better protect yourself against unforeseen costs.

Return a car lease


![Leasing-Voraussetzungen in der Schweiz](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/77DRVjaHHJ2zd9g7i6HdoK/c731dc74d7f580decf29d618982225bf/test35.png)

Even if a leasing contract is not equivalent to a credit contract, leasing companies expect a certain security in advance to grant the contract. If you pay close attention to these following points, there will be nothing in the way to your new dream car. In summary, a lease in Switzerland must meet the following conditions, which are explained in the following sections:
- __Creditworthiness.__ The lessor's bank generally requires proof that you are able to pay the instalments over the agreed period.
- __Residence in Switzerland.__ Only Swiss citizens residing in Switzerland or persons holding a B or C residence permit, valid until at least to the end of the lease term can enter into a leasing contract.

## Financial requirements

The first point concerns the financial side, more precisely the creditworthiness of the lessee. In most cases, lessors require an extract from the debt collection register. This provides information on whether financial liabilities have been paid on time in the past and whether there is no debt collection against the lessee. If your debt collection register excerpt contains entries, now might be a good time to repay the outstanding liabilities. If there are still entries that have already been settled, you may be able to negotiate with the former creditors and have the entries deleted so that this does not stand in the way of your new lease. There are also providers who offer leasing contracts with a negative debt collection register extract. Here, however, you should check very carefully whether it is really a serious provider. As a general rule, the if so-called "inspection fees" are charged in advance just to check your application and regardless of whether a leasing contract is actually granted or not, you should keep your hands off it. In principle, the decision as to whether a leasing contract is granted or not lies with the leasing company and is made on a case-by-case basis. The main factor in the assessment is whether or not your monthly disposable income is sufficient for the instalment after deduction of all liabilities and living expenses.

It is not only a clean debt collection register extract that determines whether you can be granted a leasing contract, but also the amount of your income and other liabilities. Being able to present an unlimited employment contract with a sufficient monthly salary is the best conceivable prerequisite for a positive decision. However, other sources of income such as self-employment can also be considered, whereas the receipt of unemployment benefits is usually not considered sufficient. The decisive factor here is not regularity, but the level of income. In any case, the lessor's bank will check whether you have a sufficient monthly amount available to pay the leasing instalments. It is therefore advisable to calculate in advance how much money you actually have available for a car each month. This will also help you decide which model to buy. When filling in the application form, it is essential that you provide truthful information that will stand up to scrutiny. This means that you normally have to prove to the bank that you have a regular income or that you have sufficient assets to be granted a lease. Family circumstances and any other liabilities are also taken into account.

## Further requirements

In order to lease a vehicle in Switzerland, the lessee must also have a permanent residence in Switzerland. However, not only Swiss citizens receive a leasing contract, but also temporary  B residence permits or C settlement permits entitle them to conclude a leasing contract, provided that the end date of the residence permit is after the expiry date of the leasing contract. Of course, this only applies if the above financial requirements are met.

## Alternative possibilities

There are cases where the monthly income is high enough, but the bank cannot prove this sufficiently. This is the case, for example, with self-employed persons or young entrepreneurs who are not yet in a position to submit the relevant balance sheets. In those cases, a security in the form of a down payment of an appropriate amount or a deposit of 25% of the purchase price, for example, can often be agreed with the lessor in order to get the desired leased vehicle after all.

If you are thinking about leasing a car, you should consider in advance what requirements have to be fulfilled for the lessor.

Leasing requirements in Switzerland


![Elektroauto leasen](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/5u9vtdUQ7QqF06GFCW9DhE/53350d6a89ee7665dc37d42e44790732/leasing-electric.png)

The leasing of a car in today’s time is an economical and widespread solution to buying a new one. This is not only true for companies and business people, but all drivers alike. Some providers offer additional customer services, which are conveniently covered by your monthly leasing payments- making your only concern, your next destination. This is one of the biggest advantages of leasing, apart from the tax advantages for company cars. At the same time, automobile manufacturers are in a state of major transition, moving away from the outdated combustion engine and towards a clean alternative, the electric car. Both the market and vehicle legislators also offer many attractive incentives for going electric. While there are many deciding factors for or against leasing an electric car, such as availability and of course the economic cost, our guide covers the most important points.

## Advantages
- Role model function (professional and private), at the moment, one is still noticeable with an electric vehicle, that will change soon in the near future
- Proof of less or no CO2 emissions, limiting contributions to global warming
- Low environmental impact due to lubricating oil
- Less smog or noise pollution produced
- Currently exempt from the tax on fuel [(see link)](https://www.erdoel.ch/de/zahlen-fakten/wie-setzt-sich-der-benzinpreis-zusammen)  
- In various cantons, such as Thurgau, there are already subsidies of 4000 francs [(see link)](https://energie.tg.ch/hauptrubrik-2/was-wird-gefoerdert.html/860)
- Driving comfort, acceleration, slow traffic, use of braking energy
- Presence of free public parking spaces for electric vehicles with charging stations

## Drawbacks
- Driving range limited from 150 to 400 km
- Full charging duration may be lengthy
- High load on power grid due to quick-charging stations
- Unclear environmental impact of used car batteries

### Remarks
- If you lease an electric vehicle today, you won’t have to worry about the resale value and the aging of the battery.
- Comparison for commuters: 4 years times 250 days at 100 km per day = 100'000 km. Petrol 6 litres/100 km = 6,000 litres. 6'000 liters times 1.67 CHF/Liter = 10'000 CHF VS. Electricity 20 kWh/100 km = 20'000 kWh. 20'000 kWh times 0.20 CHF/kWh = 4'000 CHF

## The trend is moving towards electric cars

As more and more manufacturers are jumping on the trend of electric cars due to legal and market changes, there is now a considerable range of available models to choose from. Compared to the standard fuel engine, the advantage of leasing an electric car is that, possible renewed legislative adjustments will not have a negative effect on you and may even serve to your advantage. On the one hand, some cities, such as Basel, already offer specially designated parking spaces. This way, you can avoid the tedious search for a parking space with your e-car and recharge while shopping at the same time. You can also enjoy discounted parking fees. Depending on the canton, you may also pay less motor vehicle tax or even no tax at all. Even the automobile tax, which otherwise amounts to 4% of the vehicle price, is eliminated when driving an electric car. Leasing an electric car can therefore already be a very attractive alternative today and also offers some beneficial financial incentives.

## Model selection

When deciding on a leasing car, the choice of model is of course a significant factor. Fortunately, car manufacturers have long recognized the trend and now offer different models for every need. Making it essential that you limit which models from which manufacturers are suitable for your own needs. The range is quite large and varieties such as fast city models, to luxurious limousines with ample space and performance, are widely available. Think in advance about your main purpose for the vehicle. If you live in the city, mainly drive short distances, use the vehicle for commuting to work, shopping and occasional excursions, a smaller, more compact car might make the most sense for you. Here, the very inexpensive models with driving ranges of around 100-150 km may be an option, since you will always be close to a charging station. The Mitsubishi i MiEV or the [Smart fortwo EQ](https://gowago.ch/en/explore/smart/fortwo) are good value vehicles at a low price. A family man who lives in the village, commutes and goes on holiday by car every year needs both a larger model and one with more driving range. Today, there are several models with a range of around 500 km and more powerful electric motors. The [KIA Soul](https://gowago.ch/en/explore/kia/soul-electric) or the [Hyundai IONIQ Electric](https://gowago.ch/en/explore/hyundai/ioniq), for example, are particularly powerful and offer enough space for families. In between, lies a wide range of electric cars with a medium driving range of 250-350 km at a middle price point.

[A good overview of the available electric car models can be found here.](https://gowago.ch/en/deals/leasing?fuelType[0]=electric&sorting=newest)

## Support - also available for leased vehicles.

Another plus point for the electric car is the state subsidy, which also applies if the car is leased and not bought. Switzerland has set itself the target of 15% of newly registered vehicles being electric vehicles by 2022 and has therefore introduced some attractive incentives. This platform of measures is known as ["Roadmap 2022"](https://www.newsd.admin.ch/newsd/message/attachments/55161.pdf). The aim is to boost the economic attractiveness of electric cars in order to achieve a higher market share. The exact amount of the subsidy depends on the place of residence, as the respective canton decides here whether and up to what amounts the subsidies are granted. There is no reduction in the purchase price, but depending on the canton, you can benefit from attractive tax breaks. Currently, the subsidy applies to the purchase or leasing of a new electric car. When purchasing an electric car, the import tax of currently 4% of the purchase price is waived throughout Switzerland.

## Economic Efficiency 

The demand for electric cars is increasing not only as a result of subsidies, but also in line with the general trend towards environmentally conscious driving. As a result of this higher demand, the purchase price of a new car has fallen significantly in recent years. If one considers not only the purchase price or the leasing rate, but also the entire cost package including tax and maintenance, electric cars are not necessarily more expensive, in many cases they are already cheaper. In the coming years, this ratio is expected to shift further in favor of electric cars, as prices for fossil fuels will rise. Customer service and repairs are also easier and more frequent for an electric car with significantly fewer parts to service. Depending on the leasing contract, this can also be a financial advantage. As far as operating costs, electric cars, by nature of running on electricity are already cheaper than vehicles with a fuel engine. Electric motors also require fewer resources such as oils and coolants compared to fuel engines. The component that has the most financial impact on the maintenance of an electric car is the battery. Replacing batteries is comparatively expensive. However, manufacturers are working to reduce these costs through new technologies, such as, improved charging cycles and lower manufacturing costs, so this item is expected to be slightly less costly in the future.

## Development focuses on electric motors - conventional motors are hardly developed any further

This point is especially important for car enthusiasts, where all car owners benefit from the technical development. In fact, the course is now clearly set for the electric car. If you follow the industry's reports, it becomes clear that the good old internal combustion engine will be out of service sometime in the near future. Of course, this means that manufacturers prefer to concentrate their research and development budgets on more promising products and technologies, like the electric car. So anyone who attaches importance to using technical innovations and keeping up to date cannot avoid the electric car, because further development will take place in this sector. Driving behavior, performance and range are already drastically improved today if you compare this with the initial models. It can be assumed that this trend will continue, leading to a further improvement in range and possibly further technical innovations. Systems that convert braking energy into electrical energy are already under development. If you look at the development of gasoline and diesel engines over the last 100 years in the same way, electric cars certainly promise some exciting developments. So, on the whole, if you want to stay at the cutting edge of technology, you're going to drive an electric car. As far as the combustion engine is concerned, it can be assumed that further development in terms of performance, consumption and economy has now reached its peak. At the same time, this also means that those who are still rather skeptical about the electric car will soon run out of arguments, due to the feverish work being done on existing problem areas, such as the lack of charging facilities and short range, but it is to be expected that these hurdles will be overcome across the board. However, it is worthwhile to think carefully about this point in particular. Technical development can also mean that models available today are outdated quite quickly, which would result in a more rapid decline in value.

## Environmental protection

There is a growing awareness among car drivers today that driving should be  environmentally friendly as possible. However, the recent debate about diesel vehicles and the current production of batteries for electric vehicles shows that a closer look is needed. The production of batteries is very resource-intensive and some experts are doubtful whether the provision of electric cars in masses can really solve the energy problems and reduce high CO2 emissions. In addition, there is the occasional high demand for electricity for charging electric cars, which could overburden some local networks if the technology becomes more and more established. In return, some scientists condemn the debate about the harmfulness of diesel vehicles as excessive or even incorrect. The fact remains, however, that fossil fuels are an increasingly scarce and expensive resource. Therefore, it is worth considering whether investing in a more promising technology today will advantageous, especially in view of the current subsidies.

## Suitability for everyday use - assessing one's own situation

However, the above-mentioned advantages may also prove to be a disadvantage in individual cases. The possibility for every individual to install a private charging station at home is unrealistic and if you travel a lot, you have to plan for longer standing times for recharging, which also not feasible. This makes an electric car a suboptimal choice for those who will use it as a primary vehicle. For occasional shorter journeys with long interruptions, which can be used to charge the batteries, it can be a good alternative instead. Therefore, consider whether an electric car is a viable solution at this time and in your situation. Ultimately, it is a case-by-case decision and we hope to have outlined the main points of pros and cons in this article to make such a decision easier.

## Conclusion - Weighing up well and considering your own situation

In summary, it can be said that some can already benefit from leasing an electric vehicle today, while others may need to wait a little longer. The decision depends on several factors. Those who have no reservations about the technical requirements, such as the charging possibilities available, and who find a suitable car with sufficient range among the offered models, can save substantially through subsidies for their purchase. Remember that this also applies to leased vehicles, through tax reliefs and special electricity contracts. Drivers may also have access to many areas in inner cities that are closed to conventional car traffic. If, on the other hand, you drive longer distances several times a day and would constantly reach the limit of your range, you might want to wait a little longer, especially since the network of charging stations is still under construction. If the infrastructure for recharging and the technology and range of the vehicles improve over the next few years, this may be the better time to buy an electric car without having to make too many compromises in practical handling. Until then, some suppliers will also offer favorable conditions for the purchase of a new model with a combustion engine.

Today, anyone deciding to lease a vehicle should consider whether an electric car is the right alternative.

Leasing an electric car, yes or no?

![pexels-photo-802024](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/1UAKAC6VqEgO2a0WW2Y2oi/a10f889d5f71888527cddf634faec28a/pexels-photo-802024.jpeg)

Have you ever been driving around and see this beautiful, huge billboards showing a new premium caradvertising with a leasing price at the price of an internet abo? You’re not alone. Hundreds of thousands of people did as well. However, have you ever questioned the nature of that price? [gowago.ch](https://gowago.ch/en "Gowago Home") helps you take a closer look at these ads and expose what you need to carefully look at not to be mislead.

## 1. The 0% leasing trick

One of the biggest tricks in the industry is the 0% leasing. People are very interested in 0% interest rates because on the paper it sounds great. Like free money lended. However when you [understand how leasing a new car work](https://gowago.ch/en/content/why-leasing), you will see that one of the biggest factor for your wallet is not the interest rate itself, but the residual value of the car. Therefore, manufacturers can manipulate the residual values of cars to higher the mensuality whilst lowering the interest rate. As a result, you have a big 0% leasing you can advertise, but not a positive impact on your wallet.

## 2. Show one car, price another

A classic game that car ads like to play is showing the most checked out, fully loaded, top trim level of a model but advertising it for the price of the base model. In reality, the prices can differ by thousands of franks. When shopping, you should review the engine and equipment included within each new car deal and buy only features you know you need. Automakers usually equip one version of a car model at a strategic price so they can present an affordable-sounding figure. However some dealers may order relatively few of these cars because in the end, buyers actually want to buy more fully featured cars. So lots of times, even if you wanted to buy the car that you saw on the advertising, those cars might be limited in stock.

## 3. Big up-front leasing payments

Do you know that theoretically speaking you could get a Rolls-Royce for CHF199 per month if you paid a high enough down-payment? Downpayment is a leasing term for the amount of money you pay up front to cruise off the lot, the first monthly payment. High down payments make sense when you’ll eventually own the car, but when leasing a car, it’s the opposite. gowago.ch recommends a downpayment that doesn’t exceed 20% of the value of the car. Your monthly lease payment will be higher, but you’ll preserve your savings. From what we hear from our recommended dealers, more and more people are going for a CHF 0 down payment.

## 4. Beware of the mileage

A low payment doesn't necessarily mean you're getting more. You need to understand the value of mileage packages before you race down to the dealership. The difference between a lease calculated at 10,000 km per year and 15,000 km per year can be up to CHF50 a month. Most of advertising will showcase a price using the lowest mileage because obviously it’s the way to go for best leasing price.

4 ways car leasing ads can fool you

![rsz 2android-wallpaper-artistic-asphalt-799443](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/5hU2xuiD1CqEkymgsW6YAA/99ae0711b3ce4112f7d1dc29adb46a53/Leasing-mistakes.png)

## 1. Not understanding how leasing works

Thanks to gowago.ch, finding a leasing is as easy as child’s play. However, leasing entails some knowledge about its structure and what it represents. We give a guide on why leasing [here](https://gowago.ch/en/blog/why-leasing "Why leasing").

Here’s a digest and an example on how leasing calculation works. The monthly payments comprise of interest and a principal. The principal or the actual payment for the car is based on the value of depreciation for each specific vehicle over time. Let’s take a [Skoda Octavia](https://gowago.ch/en/explore/skoda/octavia "Gowago Skoda Octavia"). So the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, or MSRP, of this car is CHF 27,880 for the most economic version. After 48 months (a typical length for a car lease), the car will be worth around CHF 4,000. Without interest, each monthly payment would then be (27’880-4’000)/48= CHF 580 to accommodate the amount of depreciation this vehicle experiences, which happens to be very low in this case. As Skoda is a popular model in Switzerland, it holds its value quite well even after three years. This calculation has been made with a 0% interest rate and 0% downpayment.

Be sure to choose your vehicle wisely and realize that sometimes a better vehicle isn’t necessarily more expensive to lease, it will all depend on the residual value and is tied to the market demand and it depends if you own the car after. In Switzerland, looking at the number of premium cars on the road it won’t be surprising to see a [Nissan Juke](https://gowago.ch/en/explore/nissan/juke) at the same leasing price as a well equipped Audi A3.

One of the biggest mistakes in leasing is underestimating the residual values, which are in fact the biggest factor on the monthly price for your new car. Research vehicles and their values before making a decision on which one to lease.

## 2. Underestimating your Mileage

When starting a lease, the amount of miles the client will put on the car is predetermined. Most of the time, dealers will suggest anything from 10,000 to 20,000 km per year. If that’s how much a client drives, excellent. If that’s not the case, the time is now to make the change. Really think about how many km you drive a year because if you sign up for 10,000 km a year and end up using, let’s say, 15,000 km, dealers could charge up to CHF 0.30 per exceeding km which would be a whopping CHF 1’500 more each year of the lease. It is much less expensive to purchase extra km package beforehand. Just remember to be reasonable. For information, the usual swiss citizen drives around 30km per day, meaning around 10000 km per year. However, don’t commit to 10000 km a year as a new year’s resolution, for example. It’ll cost you in the end. Additionally, dealers often buy back any unused miles at the end of the lease term. Be sure to ask about this before signing anything. Negotiate!

## 3.Backing out of the lease term early 

Each lease has a different way to deal with early termination, but none of them are friendly. If you commit to 3 or 4 years, really commit to it. For example, some companies will demand that you pay the remainder of the monthly payments immediately upon termination. On top of that, many also add on a fee of up to CHF1000. Essentially, you have to pay the remainder of the depreciation costs anyway, so you might as well just continue to lease the car. There’s really no good alternative whatsoever besides buying the car cash early from the dealer.

## 4. Leasing for too long

Most new vehicles have a manufacturer’s warranty that lasts between 3 and 4 years. Coincidentally, most lease terms should last between 3 and 4 years. The last thing you want to be doing is paying for maintenance past the warranty on a vehicle you don’t own. There’s very little reason to lease a vehicle longer than 4 years. That’s also one of the benefits of leasing; you constantly upgrade to a new vehicle. If you really want to be in a car long term, just buy a car with a private auto credit.

## 5. Not knowing your credit score

Unlike in the U.S.A where credit scores are tied to your social security number, in Switzerland you don’t have a universal, legal credit score. However, banks rely on personal data and statistics that can influence your credit and thus the price you will get for the car, or even in extreme case if you can get a leasing at all. A couple of factors influence heavily this score and the most important of them is if you’re a good payer. If you have pursuite you may be in trouble to get a leasing for example. However, some people underestimate that they can have a middle-range score just because they changed addresses a couple of times in a short timing or if they have an old unpaid bill they forgot about years ago. To be sure to be in the green, try to run a private CRIF check, as they will allow you to get your score and recommendations to improve it. [See here](https://www.crif.ch/en/consumers-area/self-assessment/ "CRIF check").

## 6. Not maintaining the car during the lease term

After you’ve established and negotiated the fine print, make sure to keep up with it. It’s easy to have a car for two years and let a few things go, but that will cost you in the end. The dealer may not explain just how expensive it is when there are little scratches, little dents, etc., so ask before. Often, it’s less expensive to simply repair the small things yourself. Usually, if the scratch or ding is a couple of centimeters or less, that’s considered normal wear and tear, but always make sure to know beforehand.

## 7. A too large downpayment

There’s too much risk involved with paying a large down payment. Let’s say, for example, that the new vehicle is stolen or totaled within the first few months. The dealership would be reimbursed for the damages, and while the consumer would not be liable for those damages, it’s entirely possible that the consumer would not be reimbursed for the down payment.
So what should you pay for a down payment? Well, it’s frequently possible to put zero down payment on a lease, and we see more and more of this in Switzerland. This isn’t always possible and can sometimes make the monthly payments a little more expensive, so the recommendation of Gowago.ch is to go for 15% of the car down.

## 8. Buy unnecessary options

Simply put, in the automotive purchasing process you will always be tempted to buy the best, the most equipped cars. Car salesmen have an interest in selling you the most expensive car, so think twice if you really need that option in particular. Therefore, be sure to use the smart filters on gowago.ch inventory finder to find the car that fits your needs, not the dealer’s.

## 9. Buying your leased vehicle at the end of the lease

This isn’t necessarily bad, but it definitely can be. Most often, the value of the car at the end of the lease term will have already been decided when first starting the lease - the so-called residual value. If the car is well taken care of, then yes, it could be in your interest to purchase the vehicle. On the other hand, once you purchase the vehicle after 3 or 4 years, that vehicle is probably no longer under warranty and you’ll be paying for any maintenance that happens after. It’s possible to purchase an extended warranty, but it may be in your interest to simply lease another vehicle. [Some other tips to help you return your lease smoothly] (https://gowago.ch/en/content/leasing-handover).

## 10. Not being (well) prepared before entering the dealership

The power of the internet is to make information accessible to everyone. Therefore consumers are more and more prepared when they are interested in a product, sometimes they know even more things than the dealership tehmselves. However when we take a look at the list above, on top of everything regarding the model selection that is right for you, there is a lot to know before being confident enough to walk through the door of the dealership. We developed gowago.ch for this exact reason, to make information affordable and easy to everyone, regardless the level of prior knowledge. Browse [gowago.ch](https://gowago.ch/en "Gowago home") to be sure you have the right information and plan to visit one or a couple of dealerships full of confidence when you finally pass that door.

10 mistakes to avoid when you lease a new car

Increasingly more people are interested in leasing in Switzerland. About half of the new cars in Switzerland are leased and this number is growing. So why is this number growing and why do people lease? Lets have a closer look!

<ul class="fa-ul" style="margin-right:0rem">
  <li style="padding-left:1.5rem; padding-bottom: 1.5rem">
    <span class="fa-li"><i class="fas fa-check fa-2x"style="color:#2DBD6A"></i></span> 
    <b>New car, all the time</b><br> First of all, leasing a car means you always get to drive around in a sweet new ride. For many people, especially in Switzerland, this is an emotional boost that can’t be ignored. If you love cars and driving, this is a big perk.
  </li>
  <li style="padding-left:1.5rem; padding-bottom: 1.5rem">
    <span class="fa-li"><i class="fas fa-check fa-2x"style="color:#2DBD6A"></i></span>  
    <b>Less maintenance issues</b><br> As the car is brand new, you don’t spend often time at the garage. You return your car before these kind of problems start showing up. If you lead a very busy life, or you’re on the road a lot, this is one less stress you have to deal with.
  </li>
  <li style="padding-left:1.5rem; padding-bottom: 1.5rem">
    <span class="fa-li"><i class="fas fa-check fa-2x"style="color:#2DBD6A"></i></span>
    <b>"Afford” a nicer car</b><br> If you’ve ever wondered how it is that so many people can afford to drive BMWs and Range Rovers, then wonder no more. According to dealerships, around 75% of all luxury cars are leased. Leasing allows you to “afford” a nicer car than you’d get if you had to buy it.
  </li>
  <li style="padding-left:1.5rem; padding-bottom: 1.5rem">
    <span class="fa-li"><i class="fas fa-check fa-2x"style="color:#2DBD6A"></i></span>
    <b>Few upfront costs</b><br> Speaking of costs, leasing allows you to get into a car with very few “upfront” costs. You often don’t need a down payment (or if you do, it’s fairly low)
  </li>
  <li style="padding-left:1.5rem; padding-bottom: 1.5rem">
    <span class="fa-li"><i class="fas fa-check fa-2x"style="color:#2DBD6A"></i></span>
    <b>Driving of the future</b><br> The last reason is that, in general, people don’t want to invest a large amount on their car anymore, especially young people. And why should you? When you drive the car out of the dealership, you loose 20% of your investment. This is one of the major factors why people are more interested in paying a monthly fee.

Why leasing?

Driving a brand new car is nice but how do you decide how you own it? These days there are three basic options when acquiring a sweet new ride: buying it cash, financing, and leasing. In this article we will look at the three options and see the positive and negative points of each to make sure you make the right decision for you.
![matt-henry-59403-unsplash-for-web](//images.ctfassets.net/1wz7s065hz5r/2Bmttbo772YOkYC82kiYAG/2a6a72ee1c979facaa94f0c125ddd1c0/Leasing-financing-buying.png)

__First some facts__, about half of all new cars sold each year are leased and more and more people are interested in paying a monthly fee for their car. It is a general trend that people want more flexibility in their ownership and payments and that they dislike paying a large fee upfront whilst the value of the car drops fast. [Learn more about the perks of leasing](https://gowago.ch/en/blog/why-leasing "Why leasing").

## Financing
When financing a car, you pay a monthly fee which covers the price of the car over time. Once approved, the financing bank will transfer the amount you desire to your account with which you can use to buy the car. The car is fully owned by you and the money you owe to the bank is tax deductible. You can enter with any down-payment you want to get to the desired monthly rate. The bank is the final decider of the credit conditions based on your financial situation. Usually, the bank charges a steep interest rate (much higher than leasing) to cover the risk, around 8-10%.

## Leasing
Leasing is basically a long-term rental. Like with financing you can enter with any down-payment but unlike financing, you don’t own the car and the payments are not tax deductible. The big difference with financing is that with leasing, the car has a residual value set by the leasing company. You can see the residual value as an assessment by the leasing company of how much they think the car is worth after your leasing terms have ended. Popular models often have high residual values because the leasing companies believe they can sell the car easily after making your monthly payments low . Depending on the contract, you also have the option to purchase the car at this price when the leasing ends.

The big plus of leasing is that monthly rates are lower than financing because of the residual value and the process of getting the car is much faster and less complicated.

There are a few points you should be careful of when you make a lease:
* __Insurance__ - As the car is not yours you will need to obtain expensive full casco insurance.
* __Excess mileage__ - If you drive more than as set forth in the contract per year you will face an additional cost for the excess mileage.
* __Ending early__ - If you want to end your leasing early you might have to pay a big fine set by the leasing company so make sure to check the contract carefully and discuss this with your dealer.

## Buying
Buying is the most straightforward of the three, you pay the whole amount of the car and you can drive away.

Let’s look at the three in a simple overview

## Leasing vs Financing, example of total monthly costs
We show the difference of leasing and financing based on a concret example of a [VW Polo](https://gowago.ch/en/explore/vw/polo) 1.0 TSI Comfortline.

     </tr>
     <tr>

     <tr>
       <th>Insurance *</th>
       <td>+800 CHF</td>
       <td></td>
     </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>
<i>* Insurance tend to be 200 CHF more expensive per year due to Full Casco</i>

In this example you save about 2'600 CHF over the total 48 month period. However, be careful of the hidden costs mentioned above.
