the one area I think the governments should do better (so separate from individual company perks) is instead of offering policies for huge company car new car tax breaks only, also offer something for people who buy 2nd hand EVs.
a 2nd hand EV is if anything better than getting a new car all the time.
About 60% of new cars are purchased for fleet use. 80% of car transactions are second hand.
The policy makes sense as it incentivises business users to buy new EV which drive sales and adoptions. While generating a stream of well maintained second hand EV for private buyers that are 2-3 years old.
The incentive is built in. The fleet operator has already paid for the largest chuck of depreciation. You can get some amazing second hand EV deals, cheeper that some equivalent ICE cars of similar size, spec, mileage and age.
