Why Choose Electric?
Electric vehicles are the ideal choice for Armed Forces personnel seeking to reduce motoring costs whilst supporting the MOD's Net Zero commitment.
Many military bases and garrisons now offer workplace charging facilities, meaning you can charge whilst on duty and eliminate fuel costs entirely from your daily commute.
Zero-emission driving also means exemption from congestion charges and ULEZ fees, with ultra-low maintenance requirements thanks to 70% fewer moving parts than conventional vehicles.
Charge at Base, Save at Home
A growing number of military installations and MOD sites have installed electric vehicle charging points in personnel car parks, with many offering free or subsidised charging as a service benefit.
From major garrison towns to remote postings, workplace charging infrastructure continues to expand across the defence estate. Combined with home charging overnight at just £4-£5 for a full charge using off-peak electricity tariffs, Forces personnel enjoy unparalleled convenience and savings.
The UK's public charging network now exceeds 50,000 charging points, including rapid chargers along motorways that can add 100 miles of range in just 20-30 minutes, perfect for weekend leave or family trips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What discount do Forces personnel get on electric cars?
At Forces Cars Direct we provide exclusive discounts of up to 35% off the recommended retail price depending on the manufacturer and model. We are the leading discount provider for UK military personnel. Forces staff typically save £3,000-£7,500 annually compared to purchasing an electric vehicle at RRP.
Who is eligible for Forces electric car discounts?
All UK Armed Forces personnel are eligible including serving members of the Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, Royal Marines, Reservists, Veterans, MOD Civil Servants, and military families. Proof of service is required and can be verified through various forms of identification including military ID, payslips, MOD email address, or other official documentation.
How do Forces electric car discounts compare to standard pricing?
Forces electric car discounts offer substantially better value than standard consumer pricing. Military personnel can save up to 35% off the manufacturer's RRP on electric vehicles, with average discounts ranging from 15-35% below RRP. This exclusive discount means Forces personnel can access the latest electric vehicles at prices unavailable to the general public, making electric car ownership more affordable and accessible.
Do military bases offer workplace charging facilities?
Many military installations and MOD sites have installed workplace charging points for personnel use, with availability varying by location. Larger garrison towns and major bases typically offer multiple charging points in personnel car parks. Some installations provide free charging as a benefit, whilst others charge at cost price (usually cheaper than public charging). Check with your base facilities or sustainability team for specific arrangements at your posting.
Are electric cars suitable for military personnel with irregular hours?
Yes, electric vehicles are particularly well-suited for military personnel. You can charge at home during off-duty periods, and many bases offer workplace charging allowing you to top up during shifts. Personnel on night duties can benefit from cheaper overnight electricity rates. With 250-350+ mile ranges, most duty patterns can be accommodated without daily charging. Deployment and posting-friendly finance options are available.
What happens to my electric car finance if I get posted abroad?
We offer flexible finance solutions designed for military life. Options include early settlement without penalties, contract suspension during overseas postings, or vehicle storage arrangements. Our team specializes in working with military personnel and can discuss solutions tailored to your posting schedule. Contact us to discuss your specific circumstances and deployment plans.
