Click the thumbs up >The Government is being urged to review the advisory electricity rate (AER) for electric vehicles (EVs).
Fleet trade and training body the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) and the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) say that the HMRC-approved 4 pence per mile (ppl) rate, used to reimburse EV company car drivers, is not fit-for-purpose.
Advisory fuel rates (AFRs), including the AER, are widely used by employers to determine how much to reimburse employees claiming business mileage.
HMRC publishes updated AFRs quarterly for petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles, with the latest AFRs published last month.
However, both the BVRLA and AFP say that it is no longer reflective of real-world conditions, and have written to HMRC requesting a review of the current AER level.
