Webinar: Social leasing for electric cars and heat pumps: a promising model?
Date: May 13, 2025
Time: 15:00 CEST
The European Commission recently announced that it would investigate the role of social leasing as a way to increase access to clean products such as electric vehicles and heat pumps. France recently introduced a scheme for electric cars, which was so successful that it ran out of cash shortly after its start.
What can we learn from this example? Can the lessons learnt apply to heat pump leasing? How will social leasing models improve access to electrified solutions? What can governments do to get these models running?
On 13 May, Marion Santini and Duncan Gibb of RAP, welcome to the Electrification Academy Marie Chéron, e-mobility expert at NGO Transport and Environment (T&E), and Jason Goldstein, VP for Strategic Finance & Treasury at thermondo, one of Germany’s leading cleantechs and the largest heat pump installer, to discuss:
- Lessons learnt from the French electric car social leasing scheme
- Current heat as a service models in Germany and their impact on heat pump roll out
- Prospects for business developments
- Enabling policy frameworks
Join the conversation by registering for the webinar.
