The fact that such a prevalent use case is unclear seems particularly stupid from HMRC.
Asked at work this morning and apparently itās a BIK if the employee pays for the charging and the company reimburses them where the payment includes personal mileage.
Weirdly if the company supplies the chargers and pays the electricity bill for it there is no BIK even if it includes personal use/mileage.
Our company changed it to a charging app that the employee pays direct and the rate is set at unit price the company pays for electricity. We then claim back on a per business mile basis via expenses to avoid BIK. It was changed because the electricity bill for the chargers was huge.

According to TV ads, a dull-looking 5-door Skoda hatchback (electric, natch) is now a āCoupe.ā
That word used to mean something else. Seems to have been downgraded. 
My niece has just got a Ford Mustang. Now thatās a word that used to have meaning, no longer!
Just nostalgia porn. I drove a V6 in the States with āMustangā on the back twenty years ago. It was complete bollocks.
If it has lost its cachet, it was long before the electric one came out
I drove a V6 Sebring a while back, it was absolutely hilarious. No acceleration whatsoever; if you put your foot down all that happened was it made more noise. The Yanks have made some shit engines in their time
