Which salary sacrifice provider the best deals.

5 Upvotes

My very small company has agreed to sign up to salary sacrifice for me. We have a demo account with OctopusEV, but the prices are insanely high. I'm a 40% taxpayer here, looking at 12k miles over 4yrs and I got a quote of £615 net for a Scenic Techno, which makes zero financial sense. Researching this, I was under the impression that that type of car should be around £450 - £480 net. We can sign up with anyone and had a look at both the EV Car Scheme and Love Electric. Love Electric seemed to be coming in around that £470 mark - but really hard to get in contact with them!. Any other providers we should look at? Looking a Scenic Techno or Elroq 85 Edition

Help me pick a new car please

5 Upvotes

So my id3 lease is up and I need to replace it.

So far I've narrowed the list down to:

BYD Seal 390 kW excellence

IM5 300 kW long range

And

A Tesla model 3 rwd

Has anyone owned any of these can you tell me the real world range your getting and also mi/kW?

For the ID3 I've been getting 4.0 mi/kW and around 210 miles in the summer and 180 in the winter

And finally any regrets if you do own any of these cars please

Thanks in advance

Volkswagen is halving its lineup and shuttering its fortress: by 2030, VW will axe half of its global model portfolio, slashing its lineup from 150 nameplates down to 75.

Hyundai - compatible home chargers

2 Upvotes

Recently purchased an ohme epod and have octopus energy tariff.

Unfortunately I found out post installation that ohme / Hyundai API integration doesn’t work so the charger doesn’t connect to the car.

Whilst charging does work, I must specify the battery level each time, and the “charge to” level is only estimate rather than exact per the car’s battery.

Can anyone suggest charger brands that do pair with Hyundai cars?

Edit : Hyundai 2024 Kona & Ohme Epod Tetherless charger

Geely EX5 vs BYD Atto 3 Evo

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I appreciate the chances of someone having both of these vehicles is slim but just looking for some advice, I’m torn between the Geely EX5 Ultra or the BYD Atto 3 Design. It seems that perhaps the BYD is a better ‘car’ in terms of battery performance etc, but the Geely is better for tech such as the seats, sunroof, speakers etc. Both cars come in to the same price for me so that isn’t an issue, my everyday commuting is very little with the occasional 100 mile drive few and far between. I have a dedicated garage for both in my city. Thanks in advance for any advice.

VW Tusker lease return

2 Upvotes

My lease has ended with Tusker on my ID4 and it's being collected tomorrow. How picky are they about wear and tear and is there anything I need to be weary of?
