Buying a 2nd hand car instead of an EV

[Avocet]

Cost to you? Nothing.

Absolutely true (well, if you don't count the blood, sweat and tears I put into my day job, I guess)! But how much did you think it set the company back?

Because you were comparing a £40k EV with "someone not buying or running a car at all". They don’t have to buy a £40k EV to own a car.

I was??? Not sure I remember that one?

Apologies. Got you mixed up with Brigadier.

Plenty of people put blood, sweat and tears into their day job without the benefit of a car. Anyway, it will set the company back a lot less than it would cost a private motorist as all those costs - purchase/lease, tax, insurance, maintenance, depreciation etc will be offset against tax.
