Why Electric Vehicles are the Ultimate Wellbeing Tool (and Your Wallet’s New Best Friend)
At Remunerator, our mission is simple: We’re here for you, not the car. While we’ve spent over 35 years helping Australians get into their dream rides, we know a novated lease is really about making your life feel a little bit lighter.
When you add an Electric Vehicle (EV) into the mix, that feeling of "Total Wellbeing" shifts into high gear. Here is how going electric helps you breathe easier, literally and financially.
1. Mental Wellbeing: Your Daily Dose of Quiet
The average Aussie commute can be noisy and hectic. But have you ever sat in an EV? Traditional engines are up to four times louder than electric motors. In an EV, that rumble is replaced by near-silence.
A "Safe Space" to Decompress: Without the vibration and noise of a petrol engine, your commute becomes a time to relax and recover.
Arrive Refreshed: Our customers often tell us they arrive at work feeling more focused and get home feeling less "frazzled." It’s amazing what a little peace and quiet can do for your mindset.
2. Financial Wellbeing: The FBT-Free "Pay Rise"
The biggest boost to your wellbeing? Knowing your bank balance is healthy. Thanks to the Federal Government’s Electric Car Discount, eligible EVs are completely exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT).
100% Pre-tax Savings: This is a game-changer. Unlike a regular car, you can pay for your entire EV lease and all running costs (charging, tires, insurance) using only your pre-tax salary.
Predictable Budgeting: No more "bill shock" at the petrol pump or the mechanic. We bundle everything into one simple, automated payment that aligns with your pay cycle. It’s the ultimate "set and forget" for your finances.

3. Physical Wellbeing: Cleaner Air, Clearer Conscience
Choosing an EV isn’t just a win for your budget; it’s a win for your community. EVs have zero tailpipe emissions, which means fewer pollutants in the air we all breathe.
Align with Your Values: There’s a genuine "feel-good factor" in knowing your daily drive is contributing to a more sustainable future.
Fewer Moving Parts: With far fewer components than a petrol engine, EVs are incredibly reliable. That means less time spent in greasy waiting rooms at the mechanic and more time doing what you love.
