Not an expert but don’t you get 100% capital allowance in Yr1 (UK) on purchase and zero benefit in kind NI - is that worth exploring?
Accountant says 100% corporation tax allowance on 0 emission cars for every year on PCP. Benefit in Kind for 2020-21 is 0%, but I will get my car in June 21 (next financial year), so it will go up to 1% for 2021-22, and then to 2% until 2025.

I'm going to be picking up my 2021 4S in about a month, still trying to decide lease vs. purchase; does anyone know how the $1500 ($1,500 Clean Fuel Reward) and $7,500 federal credit factor into a potential end-of-lease purchase? I believe both are used as cap cost reduction for a lease. So far, I'm leaning toward leasing and then buying if I really love it and there's nothing else out at that time that's more compelling, but I want to make sure I don't lose the $9,000 in current incentives that were applied against the lease. Thanks!

I’ve never really heard of this money factor. Can some kindly explain?
