Looking for advice: BEV vs PHEV for Company Car in UK

My wife is getting a new job, and a company car is part of the package. The main issue is that the car must be either BEV or PHEV. She will have access to a range of options via their fleet rental system, but details are still TBC, but at an estimate, it’ll be somewhere around £40,000 final price. There’s a number of...

thelardboy,

We’ve currently got an old Honda Jazz that will be my car after I pass my test later this year, after I’ve been qualified for 12 months they will put me onto the insurance for the company car and we will probably get rid of the Jazz. We will probably get an old second hand BEV that I can use as a commuter if we need it.

thelardboy,

Thanks for the advice. I’ve had a play with ABRP and the options are endless! I think we can mak a BEV work, but it’ll be a change of mindset, topping up when doing the stops that you tend to do on long drives, rather than doing a complete fill up once a day. My gut feeling about PHEV is that you get the worst of both worlds, rather than the best of both, still reliant on petrol, but with added weight and bulk of batteries.

thelardboy,

11th September 2001 broke the internet. Every news site collapsed into text-only versions, email servers got overloaded as people tried to contact everyone they knew in NY/DC.

the tenant needs to heat their house sufficiently to prevent mould,

And make sure to open windows regularly to stop condensation, coincidentally letting out all the bastard heat.

thelardboy,

Technically, the wife of an earl is a Countess not Mrs.

And they replace worn out socks forever. I’ve pairs that are 10 years old that were replaced FOC, no questions asked.

thelardboy,

Humourless gits who hate any vague criticism of the area, think they ae better than anyone else and should be an independent country? Sounds about right.

thelardboy,

Bought 2 billy bookcases for £20 each in 1991, and moved them a couple of dozen times, including moving country twice. Last month I disassembled them and used the pieces to make wall shelves in the pantry of the house I bought 2 years ago. That’s some longevity.
