Plug-in hybrid cars also benefit from favourable BIK rates, albeit at lower rates than all-electric vehicles. However, there are plenty of options in this vehicle class to choose from.

Available on the market for £33,165, the Skoda Octavia offers great value for money. It has an electric range of 42 miles, which is better than rivals in the same price range.

Other options which have a similar price and range are all smaller hatchbacks, while the Octavia is a saloon with a sizeable boot, good comfort and a respectable amount of cabin space.
