Good to know
Although in future, only certain corporate customers - as depicted above - will be subsidised, both the input tax deduction and the exemption from the engine-related insurance tax and from the benefit in kind for electric models shall remain in place for all corporate customers. This is the main reason why corporate customers would want to acquire an electric vehicle.
