You'll save a fortune going for an EV. 80 miles is comfortably in range for anything with a > 35kWh battery in any conditions. You don't have to buy new, but look at salary sacrifice or company car options through work as they tend to be tax efficient.

The main issue is waiting times for new vehicles so look for whatever is currently in stock. As residuals are so strong, buying is likely to be better than leasing in the medium term. 

Obviously assuming that you can charge at home and/or work...

When I was looking for my current lease car I found to following sites useful as they listed deals from multiple suppliers
http://www.leasing.com
http://www.leaseloco.com
Having said that I did find that on most occasions the lease price that was actually offered by the company was never the same as anything they had listed on even their own website!

Any ideas or where to search.

Hiya, may not be the cheapest, but I heard of 'ONTO' a while back who offer all in leases, with only a one month commitment.

I've not used them, have no idea if they are good / good value, but just thought it might be a starting point for you to try out a BEV, on a short(ish) commitment, and even try before you buy. probably other schemes around, and the Motoring Forum may have threads on these sites, with opinions ..... I know nothing!

Can you actually find him a deal that will save him the money though. One assumes that a company car isn’t possible. Nor is buying a car outright.

So a lease or pcp for an EV that allows £20K a year that will save the money?

£270 inc vat from drive-electric is the cheapest I've seen.

Can't you get an EV using the salary sacrifice scheme? You'll actually pay less for it as your taxable wage will be lower.
