Remember, depreciation is not a cash flow.
Are you going to lease or buy? How long do you plan to keep the car?
I am more than willing to help look at the numbers if you would like.
Thanks for the help, but I know exactly how these things work.
We have very strange dutch laws that allow for this scenario. In my case I will have an operational lease through the company, so everything is covered. Normally as an employee you have to pay a % of the worth of the car each year, the percentage is related to the CO2 emission of the car. Electrical cars have 0 emission so currently 0% of that netto payment.
This is also why V6/V8 cars aren't popular in here and a lot of people drive small hatchbacks.
