Where to charge your electric hatchback

The infrastructure and way in which we power our homes and vehicles is very much on the agenda at a national and local level. There are clearly steps which need to be put in place to ensure the National Grid can sustain mass vehicle charging across the UK. As part of this, you may have noted the growth of more self-sufficiency in this area, with the introduction of further solar panel and photovoltaic technology being encouraged for domestic and commercial customers.

What happens if my electric hatchback runs out of charge?

One of the first suggestions is to download a handy app called  Zap-Map, which allows a driver to understand where they can charge their vehicle together with information on any issues or charge points already in use. In addition, EV drivers can be confident that there are companies progressing a change of charge point infrastructure at destinations and service stations, such as Pod Point and Tesco now working together and Gridserve’s recent acquisition of Ecotricity.

Benefits of leasing an electric hatchback

Because electric hatchbacks 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.
