My company is 100% Carbon Neutral and we are trying to arrange a group deal in the UK on reducing leasing rates on EVs through a central supplier and if we can get something agreed I'd be happy to affect an intro on this forum to anyone who wants to try an EV without the potential depreciation concerns over poor battery technology being massive overtaken in a few years' time.

Well done on your achievement clap

I like the sound of the lease arrangement and when the time comes for us to go EV that would be the way for us too.
I'm old fashioned and normally pay cash for large items, it's just a mind set that needs shifting on my part.
