You need to do the maths yourself but it can work well especially if you are paid more than £100k as it reduces your taxeable salary. £900 a month lease on salary sacrifice is will cost you like £400 a month as the money is otherwise taxed so heavily. And if it take you below £100k then you re-qualify for the childcare allowances.

Car allowance is irrelevant. It is just extra money and is unrelated to the car-scheme IIRC.

Avral is definitely overpriced (their RRP is incorrect as often dealers offer hefty discounts on EVs, especially now since no one is buying them). And last two years they've hiked their prices by around 10% for same models. Nevertheless they're still decent if you want an EV and reduce your 60% tax trap bill.

like

A2, they started hiking it way before it was announced. They told me it's because of residual values of EVs falling, i.e. the pass on the depreciation to us

Car allowance is irrelevant to this. Just see it as additional salary that is not pensionable (i.e. Accenture nor you pay pension on this; so the net cash is higher than if it was salary - but the net benefit is lower from a total comp PoV).

Only you can decide if you want an EV and whether you can afford it. Don't let the car allowance element of your pay equal affordability - as it is cash to you regardless of if you own an EV or not.

As SM1 stated, the biggest driver (pun intended) is avoiding the 66% Tax trap for those earning over £100k; or the 600% tax trap for those earning over £100k with childcare entitlement.

It is a useful tool if you have lots of drivers, or are a new driver, as the total price includes insurance. This made it a no brainer for me.
