Business Car Manager Verdict
This is a very convincing electric car that could do sensible service as a business tool.
It is a Golf, with the kind of behaviour and build quality you expect, and without any attention-grabbing badges to shriek eco car at you.
This is about as good as an electric car can currently be, but despite not having to pay any company car tax, the range limitation means it won’t suit many, and the high price is a drawback.
If an e-car would suit you though, this one is certainly worth a closer look.
