Keep yourself on the road for longer with a fuel card and electric charging costs covered in a novated lease from Easi.
Fuel and charging costs are unavoidable when it comes to car ownership, but that doesn’t mean they need to be difficult to manage. With a novated lease through Easi, the cost of keeping your car running is built into your lease payments. Whether you’re filling up at the servo or topping up an EV battery, it’s all taken care of.

Car Fuel in a Novated Lease
Fuelling your car can sometimes mean out-of-pocket expenses or chasing up fuel station receipts. But with Easi, petrol and diesel costs are included as part of your novated lease. Instead of paying as you go, you’ll use a fuel card, with the cost being automatically covered through your regular lease payments.
This approach makes life easier for drivers who want to manage their budgets more over a longer period of time. With the payments coming out of your pre-tax salary, you don’t need to worry about fluctuating fuel prices. You can simply enjoy real savings over the entire life of your lease.
EV Charging in a Novated Lease
If you’re driving an electric vehicle which doesn’t use fuel, Easi also has you covered. Costs related to electric car charging are also included in your novated lease, making it simple to stay charged up without needing to track every step of your charge and range.
Easi ensures your car battery charging costs are bundled into your pre-tax payments regardless of whether at a home charger or a public charging station. If you're transitioning to an electric car for the first time, this setup makes for an easy way to support greener driving without the extra stress.
The Benefits of Bundling Car Fuel and Charging with Your Lease
Including fuel and charging in your novated lease means more control over your budget at its core. With one consistent payment, you can take care of a major running cost without needing to manage it separately.
This setup is ideal for people who want to:
- Avoid unexpected expenses at the petrol pump or charging station
- Make use of pre-tax salary to reduce overall costs long-term
- Track fuel and charging through a consolidated account from month-to-month
- Lease either a traditional or electric car
No matter your choice of fuel type, the convenience is the same with a novated lease from Easi.
What is a Fuel Card?
A fuel card is a special type of payment card that lets you refuel your vehicle without using your own money. It works like a debit card, but differs in that it’s linked directly to your novated lease account. Use it at participating petrol stations to pay for fuel and the cost is automatically recorded and included in your lease summary.
Fuel cards are widely accepted across many of Australia’s major fuel networks, meaning you’re not always tied to a specific location or brand of petrol station. They’re especially handy for people who fuel up quite regularly or want to monitor their fuel spend more closely.
Best Practices for Battery Charging in Electric Vehicles
Charging an electric car is simple, but a few smart habits can help extend your range, protect your battery, and manage your energy costs more efficiently.
Use the right battery charger
Home charging works best with a dedicated wall-mounted battery charger installed by a licensed electrician. These offer faster charging than a standard plug and are better suited for daily use, though it’s important to understand which charger is best for your EV.
Charge during off-peak times
You can take advantage of cheaper electricity rates by charging your EV overnight or during low-demand periods (i.e. outside of evenings). This helps reduce running costs and eases the overall demand on the power grid.
Try to keep your battery between 20% and 80%
Topping up your EV battery to 100% regularly can put unnecessary strain on said battery. Most EVs perform best when kept within this charge window, much like other electronic devices with a charge.
Know the output of your public charging station
Public stations vary in both power and amperage, which can affect how long a charge will take. Ultra-rapid chargers are ideal for quick top-ups, while slower options are better for longer stops. Knowing this info ahead of time can save a lot of potential headaches.
Use any built-in technology your EV has
Many electric vehicles come bundled with smart features such as scheduled charging, monitor usage, or even the ability to find compatible charging stations nearby. These tools make daily charging more efficient.
