Tenuous Blade Runner references aside, this looks interesting, basically salary sacrifice cycle to work with EVs. Have asked my employer to look at it but given the size of it I suspect even having COP26 up the road won't mean it happens until 2030!

Hope it's useful to others!

Interesting perspective. Page 8 states

Early termination protection for unforeseen circumstances

Which would include moving jobs I'd imagine. Contract would need to be read carefully though I agree.

It all depends on how serious the employer is about sustainability ; mine at least has a department so will see.

Thanks Noxid2, it's a large university so I suspect that the response will be measured in months if not years! Even though the sustainability department exists it's staffed part time by students. But with COP26 in the city in a few months I'm hoping this might penetrate the school executive as a good scheme; they might even be persuaded to install a few chargers that aren't the ancient ones used to charge the 10 year old electric vans they're using..
