80bob Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Thinking of opting for a PHEV for my next company car. Probably do 25000 miles per year Has anyone got PHEV and how simple was the process to get a home charge point fitted. The company stipulate we most have an approved home charge point. Bit of a scunner when there is an Asda charge point 2 minutes from the house Ps looking at the Kia ceed station wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a scunner when there is an Asda charge point 2 minutes from the house Ps looking at the Kia ceed station wagon I've been looking at the Kia sorrento. Looks almost what I need, but for ~ 20 grand less I can get a 3 year old 2.2 diesel that'll do exactly what I need - apart from be allowed into city centres when the new emissions zones come in. I'd imagine setting up a home charge point will be pretty simple. If you're confident you could probably fit it yourself then get a sparky to connect up to the distribution board and do the testing/sign off.

We don’t have an option to opt out and take a car allowance. PHEV would get the tax bill down. Also looking at Corolla sport touring hybrid. As it’s not PHEV it looks like it bumps the tax up more than what Iam paying on the 2 Ltr Passat Edited February 20, 2021 by 80bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a scunner when there is an Asda charge point 2 minutes from the house Ps looking at the Kia ceed station wagon Can you not just move the Asda charge point during the night and leave them a note saying soz folks this is now a private charge point? 😏 Iv been thinking about changing to a hybrid or Phev , I mean a sports hybrid would be nice but kind of seems pointless to get say a Honda NSX to help protect the planet by having a 565bhp engine and 20mile range. Not that I have nearly 150k as a budget 😒 May just go sideways and move to the BMW 330e when I do change , just so that along with having a car I like Im bringing the bhp down a bit and contributing to the protection of the planet , its only 25mile range but thats comfortably higher than the C Class Could not go for a Prius tho 🤬 Edited February 20, 2021 by sadj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
