There are some very decent EVs making it on to the scheme now, including some from premium manufacturers, such as the Audi Q4, BMW iX1 and BMWi4. As you are alleging that this is fake news, perhaps you can point us in the direction of the ICE equivalents of these three cars? A petrol BMW X1 or BMW 3 Series Touring would, I am sure, be of interest to many of us and we have clearly missed them.
I don’t want to get misrepresented as on the side of the troll, far from it.
For information, in the EV world a lot of the premium names are not looked on in the same way. For example Jaguar’s I Pace hasn’t been well received as all the bulk that makes a Jaguar a Jaaag makes an EV uneconomical. The Genesis (the Korean luxury brand from KIA/Hyundai) are much more of what a luxury EV can be. Clearly there are exceptions, where the legacy manufacturer has learned how to take the advantages of an EV and apply them to their luxury branding, like the Mercedes EQS and Porche’s Taycan. I look at the brands that have made the scheme and their offerings to us and I’d much rather stick to the Koreans, The BMW base models, the Audi Q4 base model they’re a great introduction but they’re just not good enough when put up against a fully specced Ioniq 5 or 6. Even with Volvo coming on to the scheme, they’ve missed the point. Another base model of what would have been a really decent car. The iX1 has all the range, without the range (excuse the intentional pun) I’d bet the value of my house that an iX1 xDrive 30 or an i4 eDrive 40 would be exponentially more popular than the short range versions.

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