I’m going to stand out here.
Motability’s APs have soared, can’t deny that. However, there’s been a huge imbalance between supply and demand which has pushed prices and waiting times up. This has, naturally, impacted the APs on the available cars, it’s also impacted the number of cars on offer.
Now we’re coming out of that supply problem, there are some APs that are returning to nearer where they were before it all went nuts. For example, the Ariya joined the scheme at around £5,500 AP it jumped up to nearly £10,000. Now it’s down to £5,999, almost back to where it joined the scheme. Then there’s the Renault Megane, started at over £5,000 now dropped to £2,495.
Admitedly, some cars have gone up and are still increasing, which could be a sign that demand for these cars is still high, even at the increased APs. Nissan seem to have a number of these.
While prices are still high, there seems to be some sign of them beginning to, at least, peak and if you are unfortunate enough to need a car whilst having no hope of an income to provide the type of AP you need for the car that suits your physical needs, then there’s the grant system. What I’d like to find is how they view EVs in terms of needs and providing APs for decent ranged electric SUVs…

I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
