Company car or salary sacrifice?

What would people suggest?

Considering most are electic vehicles what make / model would you recommend.

Obviously other option is to buy a new or used vehicle but that not really a viable option at the moment...

Interesting to hear of peoples experiences

You could lease, as far as I know tax and any repairs are included.

Lease... You get a big tax relief if its fully electric too.

Electric stuff is a bit pish,

Stuff like a Porsche Panamera or Tesla is cool but they are restricted in range and have no noise.

A Bmw x5 45e hybrid is a good compromise. Sounds great, drives great, gets good tax relief only drawback is a sub 50 mile electric only range

If you are looking at electric.. go for a company car. The BIK is really low on it and also when the batteries start to twindle the cost isn't on you.

In most instances I'd say for a company car as its alot less risk, no insurance to pay, no maintenance and also if your own car breaksdown then it would be up to you to sort a hire car, with a company car it would he on them.

I guess the only factor would be how many miles you do a year? I average 30k... so for me a company car is a no brainer
