Hi,
I've just moved to a new employer and have a model 3 as company car. The car is leased by my employer so they cover all the costs for it, I just charge at home and then charge when out and about, using my own credit card.
They've said to me that the advisory mileage rate for electric cars is 4p per mile and that's what they'll pay, but on the first journeys I've done I have to use a significant amount of supercharging, which 4p per mile doesn't get close to covering. I did 417 miles over two days last week and the actual cost was close to £35, and I'd only get £17 back at 4p.
Does anyone have any experience from the same situation and what agreements they have in place? Should I claim 4p per mile up to any supercharge and then just claim for the cost of the charge outright? Would be good if anyone has been in the same situation and can advise how to get around it, as I can't afford to fund 50% of business mileage myself.
