Is the mileage rate for electric vehicles different?
I'm taking part in the Mini E trial and will occasionally use the car for business use. Under the company policy I currently claim back 22p a mile and the tax relief of the balance. Does this mileage rate change for electric vehicles? I've had a look on various sites and I cannot see a reference to type of car and my company is also unsure.

I don't see why it should be any different. Should be 40p/mile for the first 10,000 miles and 20p/mile thereafter, tax free.

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.

I know that if you drive less that 10000 miles a year, a diesel isn't the right choice. What about a diesel hybrid engine? Does that have a minimum recommendation?
