I work from home. My F15 is a toy for me.
I take the kids to school and the wife to work (inc pickups).

Short journeys on a diesel are not that efficient.

Ultimately I was heading down the full EV route, but couldn't justify a full swap to Tesla just yet.
The 45e is a compromise. Allows me to use electric for the short journeys, ICE for longer journeys and when I want to hear it growl.

With it being a luxury vehicle, I dont see any real tax benefit. Its not a company car so BIK doesnt affect me.
