Socialism only works until you run out of someone else's money.
Like the UK solar industry?
Well, no, not that, that was doing well all by itself so we had to pull the subsidies...
As electricity is not classed as road fuel, the car fuel benefit charge does not apply to electric charging. If an employee uses a company car, no BiK when charging vehicle at the work.
The advisory fuel rate for fully electric vehicles has been confirmed by HMRC as 9p per mile
As electricity is not classed as a road fuel, Tesla cars have no fuel benefit charge. That means employees are exempt from paying Benefit in Kind on electricity provided by their employer to charge an electric company car.
Are you against incentives for people to switch to BEV? Surely not.
First Year Allowance is claimable for up to 100 percent of the cost of qualifying low emission and electric cars. By choosing a Tesla car, your business can claim a 100 percent year one deduction for the cost of the vehicle.
Isn’t it right that the government should encourage early adoption of BEV?
From 6th April 2022, both new and existing Tesla cars eligible for a 2% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rate for the 24/25 tax year. The BiK rate will be held at 2% until 28/29 tax year, after it will increase. The average petrol or diesel vehicle has a BiK rate of 20 to 37%
With zero emissions whilst driving, all Tesla vehicles were previously charged £0 Vehicle Excise Duty. From 1 April 2025, zero-emission vehicles will be subject to the Vehicle Excise Duty
Tesla vehicles are able to access the London Ultra Low Emission Zone without paying the noncompliance fee of £12.50. The zone currently covers all London boroughs. The cost of paying the ULEZ over 3 years could be up to £13,650, when driving into the zone on a daily basis.
The London Congestion Charge is a daily charge for driving a vehicle within the charging zone in central London. As of The daily charge has also risen to £15 per day. Currently all battery electric vehicles qualify for the 100 percent cleaner vehicle discount.
We should stop that straight away.
China has been producing far better cars for far lass money for many years now🤦♂️

Conflict of interest?
