Porsche’s all-electric vehicle range: business benefits and model comparison

The popularity of all-electric vehicles is continuing to accelerate, especially amongst businesses. The benefits of owning an electric vehicle as a business owner, such as a Porsche Taycan or the all-electric Macan, are extensive and worth consideration. Outlined below are a handful of schemes that benefit electric vehicle and business owners:

Benefit in kind:

Benefit in kind refers to the tax that is paid on a company car based on its tailpipe emissions. For example, the Porsche Taycan and all-electric Macan both offer a 2% benefit in kind until April 2025 due to zero tailpipe emissions, which sits significantly lower than petrol and diesel vehicles, which have an average rate of 20-27%.

Taycan

First year allowance:

With both the Taycan and all-electric Macan, you can benefit from a first-year allowance of up to 100% for business owners, meaning your business could claim a 100% first year reduction on the cost of your all-electric vehicle (applicable to new vehicles/cars considered new despite being used).

Salary sacrifice:

The salary sacrifice scheme enables employees to sacrifice some of their gross salary to receive the benefit of driving an all-electric car. The sacrifice is executed before tax and National Insurance contributions are made, therefore enabling employees and businesses to make further savings.

Macan Electric

Tax benefits:

Due to monthly lease payments on your vehicle being treated as a business expense, business leasing can help to reduce your company’s tax bill. Businesses may also be able to claim back the VAT on the monthly lease payments, meaning the cost of the lease payments can be written off as a business expense.

Having outlined several business benefits of owning an all-electric vehicle, you may now be wondering what range of all-electric vehicles Porsche has to offer. Our all-electric models are the Taycan and the new highly anticipated Macan. Below are the key comparisons between the two models, to help you choose the best option for your needs (comparison based on base models).
