“Most company car drivers have their fuel paid for by their employer, so their logic will be that stopping for 5 minutes (or less) at a ‘pay at the pump’ once a week, or every few weeks, is a lot less time and hassle than plugging in, charging, checking the charge and unplugging every single day. Unlike private users, they won’t save anything in running costs by doing so and, as fwippers says, they only get PHEV’s as they are a tax dodge.”
That is true Glos Guy but the company stumping up for the fuel will. It would depend on the mileage they do of course but having had company cars in the past if I’d been offered the tax incentives of EVs plus overnight charging and the performance I would have jumped at the offer.
Checking the charge is a doddle as you have an app on the mobile. Plugging in and out takes less than a minute. As far as tax savings a Tesla 3 will cost less in terms of benefits in kind than a Hyundai i10 city car and thousands less than a BMW 3 Series.
