Full fleet of PHEV's (11 Golf GTE's and a Mercedes 35oe) to replace 1.7l diesel astras. Golfs cost less than £25K (after grant and discount) 7% BIK for 2016/7 and improvement from under 39mpg to over 45mpg. Class 1ANICs for the whole fleet will be just over what we would have paid for 1 car!
Real world analysis of journeys is essential to check. If you have over 80 miles between charges (regularly) then from a running costs point of view then diesel is the way to go. We installed charge points at the office, and have encouraged drivers to use (often free) public charging points (the zap map app helps to locate these). 75% charge from a fast charger within 1 hour (which most meetings are at least!).
For example: -
I fully charge at home overnight (costs approx 40p) drive 22 miles to work, where I charge fully within 2.5 hours, drive home another 22 miles. With real world driving (over 8000 miles since March, including several 250+ trips) the Mercedes is averaging over 70mpg (and costs me less than £150 a month in BIK!)
Simple solution? Raise an accrual entry which equals the total of the surplus, as you are not running this for profit any s/charges collected will either be used to defray expenses and any ultimate surplus will be returned to the leaseholders as an overpayment.
Or am I missing something?
