Some very back of a fag packet maths:
New Kona Premium SE Diesel 1.6 AUTO (to be comparable with the auto EV) is £24,900. The 64kw version is £35,145.
Company car mileage reimbursement rates are 10ppm and 2ppm respectively so I will take these as crude costs per mile.
Not taking in to account differences in duty, servicing costs etc, the EV would become cheaper to run at 128,063 miles.
Taking the cheaper Kona Premium DCT auto against the lower KW Kona EV the pay back time is 77,750 miles - i.e. within the life of the car.
