So, I have been quietly preparing for a meeting tomorrow with my MP. This is going to be interesting as he’s a key figure in the BEV all party parliament group, so pointing out just how awful Motability pricing is for BEVs is definitely on my hit list. Some key point prepared are: Q1 cheapest suitable car was £1,999 (Enyaq SEL Plus) Q2 it has changed to the £2,999 EV5 Air The Ev5 and Sportage are supposedly the same market group, having had KIA and several reviewers say that while the EV5 isn’t an electric Sportage, it’s definitely targeting the same people looking for the same sector car but with a battery. The cheapest Sportage is £199 The cheapest the EV5 has been so far is £2,999 that’s £2,800 just for choosing electric. I looked at the revenue benefits of bringing the Salary Sacrifice changes forward to the next financial year and that brings in an additional £10bn while all 5 years of VAT and IPT only recovers £1bn. If revenues are the target, not cosying up to the right leaning media, then the NICS on Salary Sacrifice creates significantly more revenue that ruining the Motability scheme for so many people. There’s also a planned rant on not giving disabled people the choice a commercial lease would offer.
Good luck with your meeting tomorrow.
