Where to charge your electric hatchback


The infrastructure and way in which we power our homes and vehicles is very much on the agenda at a national and local level. There are clearly steps which need to be put in place to ensure the National Grid can sustain mass vehicle charging across the UK. As part of this, you may have noted the growth of more self-sufficiency in this area, with the introduction of further solar panel and photovoltaic technology being encouraged for domestic and commercial customers.

What happens if my electric hatchback runs out of charge?

One of the first suggestions is to download a handy app called  Zap-Map, which allows a driver to understand where they can charge their vehicle together with information on any issues or charge points already in use. In addition, EV drivers can be confident that there are companies progressing a change of charge point infrastructure at destinations and service stations, such as Pod Point and Tesco now working together and Gridserve’s recent acquisition of Ecotricity.

Pros and cons of leasing an electric hatchback

If you are thinking hatchback car leasing, here are some important points to weigh up.

Lower monthly payments - With car leasing, you will benefit from lower monthly payments compared to buying a car on finance.

Flexible driving - Leasing a car gives you the flexibility to switch vehicles every few years and drive newer, smarter models.


Cons

Mileage limits - You’ll be charged a fee if you go over your set mileage, but our experts help you pick a mileage that covers your driving lifestyle.

Lack of ownership - You won’t own the car but you’ll have more flexibility and the option to replace your car for a brand new one.

Benefits of leasing an electric hatchback

Because electric hatchbacks are zero-emission, 100% of the rentals are allowable against tax.

For a car emitting 51g/km of CO2 (or higher), only 85% of the rentals are allowable - this is known as lease rental restriction of rental disallowance.

If you are VAT registered, you can claim up to 50% of the VAT on the finance element for a company car with private use, plus 100% of the VAT on any maintenance aspects of the rental. But note that for a car with CO2 emitting 51g/km of CO2 (or higher), the unreclaimed  VAT is restricted to 85% too.

What does a number plate on an Electric hatchback look like?


Wondered what the green stripe you see on the side of some cars’ number plates is for? The Transport Secretary announced that electric cars would be able to wear number plates featuring a vertical green stripe (officially known as a ‘flash’) on the left-hand side of the plates.

Can I put a private plate on my hatchback lease car?

Yes, you can put a private plate on your hatchback lease car. This can be arranged via your finance provider. If you've bought brand new number plates, you should fill out a V750 form. If the number plate was used previously, you should fill out a V317 or V778.
