Probably a wise move I reckonTrue-Blue wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 12:45 pm Thanks for the input @earthdweller
I made a decision on this a week or so ago, and ordered a plug in Kuga.
Swore I’d never have another Ford, but it was the most logical option weighing up tax cost (8/9% tax bracket), claimable mileage rates (2.5ltr petrol), economy (Atkinson cycle engine - efficient despite size) and kit level (Vignale). In addition, the list was very limited with cars being removed and not added. I have to justify it to myself like this to feel positive about it
My employer doesn’t offer a ‘Cash’ option, it’s order a car… or don’t
I have my Zed for fun
My wife is mainly doing international travel now so she opted out of the company car scheme when her 3 series diesel came up for replacement and we bought her a Mini countryman diesel to run about in and use as an airport car
I think if I lived in a city and only did local driving I’d consider one but when you think a petrol fiat 500 is £13k and an EV one £30k it’s not that easy a decision to make with your own money
Eventually I suppose we’ll all have to bite the bullet but hopefully they can sort out the infrastructure before that happens
Kuga vignale will be a nice car I reckon
