Clarification: The salary sacrifice scheme

Response 1:

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

As an employer, we offer a salary sacrifice scheme which enables staff to lease a vehicle (including but not limited to EV’s).

There are no discounts within the salary sacrifice, this would sit with the company that lease the salary sacrifice vehicles and not Dyfed-Powys Police as an employer.

The lease car company have an agreement with the employee. As an employer, we only manage the salary sacrifice value.

To date EVCPs (mainly 7kW) have been installed within the existing incoming supply capacity.  We have not progressed any conversations with DNO specifically on the EV infrastructure capacity upgrades only, as we have maintained any new EV charging installations aligned to spare capacity on our existing supplies to date.                                              

It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.
