Can you recommend an EV or hybrid that can tow?
I'm lucky enough to have a company car budget of £50,000 but I have to be really careful of the PD11 tax as, due to a number of recent circumstances, my disposable income is low. An electric car or hybrid would appear a great choice but I also need to tow a boat - over the 750kg threshold. Plus, my weekly mileage is five days of short commuting (50 miles tops) and two days of motorway travel (300 miles). Your advice would be much appreciated!

We'd recommend a Skoda Superb iV. It's a really good plug-in hybrid with a braked towing capacity of up to 1600kg. It sounds like it'd suit your requirements well and you'll get a high-spec L&K within budget.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
