I get a car allowance from work, and it feels like with the current generous taxation policy, they are almost giving the leccy cars away.

It’s a salary sacrifice scheme, and given the deductions are from gross salary and BIK is 1%/2%/2%/2% over the next 4 years, it is a no brainier and much cheaper than running my 10+ year old V70.

I’m in the market for a VW ID.3.

However, I live on a fairly busy residential road and rarely get parking space outside my house, and I don’t have a driveway.

Anyone else running a leccy car without a driveway and can comment on the practicalities, and if it is feasible? Or is it just too much of a pain in the arse with battery charging worry?

I notice I don’t even qualify for a grant for a charge point as I don’t have a driveway.

I did look at PHEVs, but to get the fantastic BIK deal the car need to have a range of >130 miles on battery, but they don’t exist in the market.

This would be our only car, so no backup ICE car.
