Hi All,

trying to figure out best possible solution to getting an electric vehicle for both private and business use. Currently due to end my lease with Land Rover and looking at 2 different options.

Option 1 and likely (Tesla Model 3 or Model y). Low BIK at 1% and going up 2% but does anyone know the 3 and 4 years estimate for the BIK as I find this quite frustrating when you get 36 and 48 month deals on cars?

Option 2 (and more fanciful). Porsche Taycan 4s. BIK still low and would equate to about £1000 for first year rising to £2k when 2% kicks in. For such a nice car still low and business could afford it if bought on finance.

Also It's a bit of a minefield in the best way to go about getting one of these so looking for advice:

VAT not recoverable on Cars; unless it is a contract hire where can get 50% of the VAT back, but capital allowances not allowed with contract hire?

Capital allowances allowed if the cars are bought; would this also include a PCP purchase? This would mean no VAT recoverable though? AIA not allowed for cars.

Am I missing anything else to consider? Obviously the energy crisis is making me think twice a bit- a few months ago the cost of electricity would mean I would have been saving 50% in fuel costs but now it's likely to be similar. 

As I will be charging this at home (Office does not have car park) these costs will be personally to myself; Would these be deductible at all? I read fuel charges could not be claimed for Electric vehicles.
