OK, there’s the premium price tag (just shy of £80,000 for the standard rising to nearly £111,000 for the RS one), but it compares quite favourably with competitors like the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan. Remember, also, that the longer you own an electric car, the more you offset the elevated price with the much lower running costs. No other comparable petrol or diesel car that does 0-62mph in 3.3 seconds will cost 3p-4p per mile to run and that’s the average cost for an electric car. The usual caveats apply - charge it on an off-peak tariff, and you’re also exempt from road tax (or VED, to give it the proper name) with fewer servicing bills, too. Note also, however, that from 2021, benefit in kind (BIK) tax will apply for company-car users at one per cent. That will still recoup huge savings compared with any conventional internal combustion powered car of comparable performance, mind.
