No electric car is cheap compared with conventional cars of a similar size, but the Jaguar I-Pace is really, really not cheap. Even when you factor in the Government’s plug-in car grant contribution, prices still start at around £60,000 and climb pretty steeply as you progress through the range. The most obvious rival in spirit – the Polestar 2 – looks a little more affordable in comparison but, likewise, quickly gets expensive with a few options and the Jaguar is on a par with premium-badged electric SUVs from Audi and Mercedes.

Still, charging up your car is obviously much cheaper than filling it with petrol or diesel, and electric motoring also earns you all sorts of tax breaks and exemptions, meaning company drivers could well reap huge savings in monthly Benefit In Kind that make it more viable than you might think.
