Welcome to OOF
But yeah.....£200 PCM for such performance makes it very tempting. Presumably this low figure is linked to a 'high initial payment' on PCP, or similar.

Later Vauxhalls also have a wet belt which can disintegrate very quickly so, again, the problem is everywhere, not just on certain engines.

Personally, I would never buy an engine with rear mounted chains as that such a retarded design. Fortunately, I am unlikely to ever buy a JLR or VAG product, it's unlikely to be much of an issue.
Would it kill the insurance company to exclude or limit claims for cat thefts? Or body part theft of Festers and Corsas
Is being able to charge at work treated as a benefit?
It should be as you* could theoretically live at the end of the road, charge the car at work and then plug it into your house battery and gain from the "free" electricity and presumably they don't provide petrol and diesel to employees.
Similarly, if you had to buy your own electricity but had nowhere to charge it, your overall costs would be higher
You being the royal you rather than personally.
Point being that running any vehicle, of any fuel type, costs someone something at some level and an EV only works as a fully funded company car.

What if you didn't have a company car?
Interesting read here, Jim:

Insurance does appear to have massively gone up in the last year, and is continuing to do so. Bear in mind that a scratch on an EV is often enough to write it off, and the amount of pointless shit fitted to the front of most cars because drivers cant drive, all makes insurance repairs rocket.
