Agree. Grappling with charging cables on a winter’s evening when transitioning to the front door with rollator is already a challenge enough. A&E beacons followed by months in care.
I have been very happy with an Allspace SEL, now in lease extension and previous Touran. I was very disappointed to see removal and/or steep price increases of Q2. No X trail Tenka- I need a powered tailgate – no Subaru, crazy prices on CRV, RAV4 etc. I don’t want a politically expedient bribe for an inappropriate BEV, Motability. Subsidies, company tax write offs and huge BIK incentives might keep the deluded eco zealot dream alive, but for the disabled the current distortions in the scheme are most unwelcome. The Allspace, built in Mexico, is on run out to be replaced by all new model soon. The top trim levels now gone, Life only with a£800 increase. No doubt paving the way for mega priced new Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq version. Touran SEL was an excellent car. Now £3999 and sunroof an extra. Well over £5k for 3 years, yet an iD4 is free and probably needs to be.
