Benefits of leasing an electric car in Bristol
Because electric cars are zero-emission, 100% of the rentals are allowable against tax.
For a car emitting 51g/km of CO2 (or higher), only 85% of the rentals are allowable - this is known as lease rental restriction of rental disallowance.
If you are VAT registered, you can claim up to 50% of the VAT on the finance element for a company car with private use, plus 100% of the VAT on any maintenance aspects of the rental. But note that for a car with CO2 emitting 51g/km of CO2 (or higher), the unreclaimed VAT is restricted to 85% too.

What does a number plate on an Electric Car look like?
Wondered what the green stripe you see on the side of some cars’ number plates is for? The Transport Secretary announced that electric cars would be able to wear number plates featuring a vertical green stripe (officially known as a ‘flash’) on the left-hand side of the plates.
Bristol number plates
Living in Bristol you'll know that most cars in the area start with a W, and this is why. When a car is first regsitered in the area, it's allocated what is known as a memory tag. These are the first two letters of the number plate, and in Bristol they start with: WM, WN, WO, WP, WR, WS, WT, WU, WV, WW, WX, WY.
When you lease a car, it may not come complete with a Bristol number plate. That’s because some cars on lease may come to you from a manufacturer in a different part of the country.
So if you are a true Bristolian and wish to have a number plate that matches, then you can switch it up and put a private plate on your car.
Can I put a private plate on my Bristol lease car?
Yes, you can put a private plate on your lease car. This can be arranged via your finance provider. If you've bought brand new number plates, you should fill out a V750 form. If the number plate was used previously, you should fill out a V317 or V778.
