The company I work for runs about 85 cars our annual fuel bill is about £6k per car so I have some real world experience.
The Toyota Corolla petrol self charge hybrids are around 20%more fuel efficient than the diesel Ford Focus/Kia Ceed they are replacing. The employees driving these don’t really have a choice of car. BiK tax is similar as the Ceeds are older and cost less new.
Those of us who have a choice fall into 3 groups.
We have a few Ford Kuga PHEV type cars they are almost never charged.(we have solar panels and free charging at head office I have never seen one of these cars plugged in).
I have a RAV4 self charge (1690kg so not actually very heavy).
About 5 people have gone for CrewCab trucks.
I think I have the lowest real emissions but pay the most tax if those who can choose their car.
