More company car drivers choose the electric drive

Despite the fact that interest in driving an electric car or a plug-in hybrid has increased in recent years, these cars still account for a small part of the market.

The demand for green cars is increasing, but at the same time there are some obstacles for the common man. On the one hand, a lack of infrastructure for charging can put a damper on the wheel, but for many it is the wallet that puts a stop to it.

One way to get around the wallet problem could be an electric company car. According to figures from the leasing company LeasePlan, the number of rechargeable cars in their fleet increased by 45 percent in 2019, compared to 2018. Many believe in a further increase in rechargeable cars in the coming years, as more models enter the market. Additional factors for an increase could be, as manufacturers catch up, that the waiting times for a new electric car have decreased and that the tougher measurement method that was introduced at the turn of 2020 results in higher vehicle taxes for cars that are powered solely by gasoline or diesel.

Although Polestar and Tesla are not among the most common models for the company car driver, it can be fun to compare the costs of three cars in the premium segment.

This is how much Polestar and Tesla cost as a company car

Plug-in hybrid Polestar 1:
Benefit value SEK 12,055/month (after reduction for plug-in hybrids)

The Polestar 2 electric car:
Benefit value SEK 3,761/month (after reduction for electric cars)

The electric car Tesla Model 3 Long Range
Benefit value SEK 3,791/month (after reduction for electric cars)

What the net cost will be for you depends on the marginal tax. For private individuals with a company car via the employer, it is not uncommon for it to be calculated at 55 percent.
