Types of Electric/Hybrid Explained

If you’re trying to decide which type of electric or hybrid van to opt for, our handy guide will help. Discover how each option works and find the perfect solution for your business.

Mild-Hybrid Mild hybrid vans have a combustion engine that’s supported by a small electric motor. This boosts power and improves efficiency, but has no capacity to propel the vehicle on electric power alone. The battery is charged by the engine, so there’s no need to plug in. View Models

Hybrid A full or self-charging hybrid vehicle has a combustion engine supported by a small battery pack and electric motor. You may only be able to travel a couple of miles on electric-only power, but there’s no need to plug in and recharge the battery. View Models

Electric Fully electric vans have no combustion engine and run solely on electricity. They produce no CO2 or NOx emissions, and must be plugged in to charge. Typical range is around 75-100 miles. View Models

Frequently Asked Question's

Naturally, many customers have lots of questions about making the switch to an electric van. Here, we answer those that are most commonly asked, but if you’d like more information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

Can I claim expenses if I charge my company’s electric car at home?

Yes. You can seek HMRC reimbursement via the Advisory Electric Rate (AER), which is currently set at 5p per mile. However, many business users prefer to take advantage of Benefit-in-Kind (BiK).

Are electric cars 100-per cent tax deductible?

Electric cars producing CO₂emissions lower than 50g/km are eligible for 100-percent capital-allowance tax relief for the first year.

Which company cars are tax free?

There’s no simple answer to this. The calculation of company car tax is based on the make and model of the vehicle, its CO₂emissions and its P11D value, among other things. (P11D is a tax form used to inform HMRC how much Class 1A National Insurance needs to be paid on expenses and benefits provided by a business.)

Can a business claim VAT back on an electric car?

Yes, but only if the vehicle in question is used exclusively for business purposes.

What are the advantages of electric vans?

There are many positives to driving an electric van, such as:

Carbon neutrality – electric vans produce zero CO₂and NOx emissions
Low running costs – an electric van is much cheaper to run than its petrol/diesel equivalent
Silent running – electric vans are much quieter than petrol/diesel vans
Measured performance – an electric van produces instant torque, resulting in a smoother ride
Incentives – the government’s plug-in vehicle grant (https://www.gov.uk/plug-in-vehicle-grants) and charging infrastructure grant (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-grants-for-low-emission-vehicles) are two such examples. Exemption from, say, the London Congestion Charge is another
Enhanced brand image – by driving an electric van, your business gets to enjoy plenty of eco-friendly kudos

How much does it cost to charge an electric van?

This will depend on the size of the van’s battery and where it is charged. Charging an electric vehicle at home is cheaper during off-peak times than peak times – and either option is cheaper than charging at a public access point.

The Mercedes-Benz eVito has a 41kWh battery (35 kWh of which is usable), and costs about 16p per kWh to charge on a typical workplace commercial tariff – adding up to a total cost of £5.60 (6.7p per mile).

How far can my electric van travel on a single charge?

This will depend on the van in question and the size of its battery. As an example, the Mercedes-Benz eVito offers a 93-mile range.

How does BiK work?

Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) is a perk or bonus that doesn’t constitute part of an employee’s salary. All vehicles have a BiK percentage banding, based on CO₂emissions and P11D value, among other things.

Company Information

EURO COMMERCIALS LIMITED is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow EURO COMMERCIALS LIMITED to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes Mercedes-Benz Finance, the lender of our vehicle manufacturer. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer’s lender Mercedes-Benz Finance, linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

Mercedes-Benz Finance may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
