My company has just started a company car scheme for electric cars. 3 year lease where the car, insurance, servicing etc all included in the month costs which comes out of salary before tax so you save quite a bit. Will be pretty tempting to do this once I actually need a car again.

Very much like the NHS scheme we have done.

Just remember that it does effect your pension...doesn't bother us as we are very much happy to live for the now!!

yes - this MG5 isn't bad either - albeit the old one , from HUK -> £64 p/w, back into the £300p/m if you need 12K though.
MG MG5 Electric 115kW Excite EV 53kWh 5dr | £445.75 Initial Deposit | £250.75 p/m | 36m Lease | 8K Miles pa £9221.76 @ LeaseLoco

but, if you owned one beyond a PCP,
when you look at what their accoladed 7 year warranty, exclusions are - hmm - maybe that is par for the course

I’m heading towards pod point just because 7.5m cable might be useful

p.s just ordered / leased 300kw e-tron awaiting delivery date.
I went with NewMotion (well, I didn’t have much choice). It’s 7M tethered and is a lot more convenient than having to get a cable out every time.

Just been on chat with these guys actually.

I like the fact it's designed and built in the UK.

Also offer £50 off for bluelight discount.


They have a raspberry pi inside for all the ‘smart’ stuff, should make it quite interesting for future updates etc. I thought the led lights were a bit of a gimmick at first, but some subtle illumination to let you know the status might be useful.
