    I think the problem is BEV’s are not selling to private buyers in anywhere near the numbers needed. The company car tax on a BEV was zero a couple of years back, there is some tax now but it is very low. I had a company car until I retired 18 months ago, Toyota Corolla GR Sport estate 1800 hybrid, I was sad to see it go when I retired. Just after I left, the company car scheme was changed, employees can now only have a BEV or a plug in hybrid, you can’t have the Corolla anymore, and I think this is getting more common with other employers, so many company car drivers don’t have the option of an ICE.

    Some of it I’m sure is some companies like to virtue signal how great they are or it could be they are afraid of being cancelled by the mob.
