EV Mileage Rates

[R500POP]

Looking at mileage rates for electric vehicles, but can't find any info anywhere. Does anybody know if HMRC have guidlines on EV mileage rates?

I believe HMRC recommend one 8 pack of activia yoghurt per mile.

And don't forget you will instantly turn gay if you step into an EV

Same as any other car or van isn't it?

Personally I don't give a toss what others think. I'm looking for a cheap to run commuting tool, that will fit in my garage (full of junk), minimise trips to petrol station, that's "different" from the norm.

But what if your house suddenly moves 300 miles while you are at work

And can I buy your insight?

Can you claim for commuting miles? I thought it was just for business miles?

I'm unlikely to ever part with it (unless the price is right)

Do you mean reimbursed for business miles, or as part of a company car scheme?

If business miles http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/paye/exb/a-z/m/mileage-expe... - you can't claim for "commuting" but trips to contract sites etc. generally count. I don't believe there is any difference between an EV car and a petrol car.

However, if your employer pays 45p/mile, aren't your running costs significantly lower over the petrol car anyway?
