Hi there
I have a company lease car and have just ordered my Outlander PHEV Gx4h. I do around 30 mph each way per day mainly on the motorway to work and back and have full company fuel BIK. I was wondering whether I can claim the following back from the employer or what everyone else does:
- cost for putting in the charging point at home?
- claim back electricity used (in which case I need a different charging point which is possible)
- claim back for cables that let me charge at public points?
I have fought long and hard to have this environmentally friendly car added to our approved list
so I'm the first one getting a PHEV, probably starting a trend. However we don't yet have a charge point at work so the only charge point will be my home charger. I'm happy to pay for the installation and electrics as it's saving me a small fortune in BIK tax anyway but I just wondered what everyone else does who is on a full BIK for both lease car and fuel. I hardly do any business miles so it's mainly private fuel.
Also, does the BIK tax alter the more petrol you use or is it a fixed price based on CO2 emissions presuming you charge it electrically?
Many thanks for any feedback you can provide as this is all very new to me!
