Solar + EV Salary Sacrifice

Is EV salary sacrifice good with solar?

EV salary sacrifice + solar panels: the ultimate low-cost driving combination. SALARY SACRIFICE: lease an EV through your employer. You pay from pre-tax salary, saving 20-40% on the lease cost. BIK tax: just 2% (2024-2028) — an EV costing £400/month privately costs £200-£250 via salary sacrifice. SOLAR CHARGING: charge at home from surplus solar — £0 per mile. Typical savings: £400-£600/yr in fuel costs on top of the salary sacrifice saving. COMBINED: you drive a brand-new EV for £150-£250/month (net), charge for free from solar, and pay 2% BIK. Total annual driving cost: £2,000-£3,000 vs £4,000-£6,000 for a privately owned petrol car. BEST SETUP: Zappi charger (eco mode charges from surplus only), 6kW+ solar system, smart tariff for overnight top-ups.
