It’s not straight forward unfortunately.

2. We currently rent our home.
I spend about £200 per month fuelling my car and my wife’s. The EV is allegedly available for £249 per month but will that allow for my annual mileage of 20k?
I can just see the look on the salesman’s face as he has to turn me away.
Being VAT registered may open some doors for me on a business finance plan but I still see practical problems.

20k/year is a lot of charging annually especially if you cant at least charge at home overnight on a cheap tariff.
I read the other week that the government are throwing £millions at on-street EV charging like converting lamp posts & pop up pavement chargers to charge EV's (London seem to be getting the lions share at the moment)

Or Get a VW id 3 & order the mobile charger robot from your phone to come & charge your car.
