    Oscarmax I think we are a few years away from anything like that coming on the scheme, they exist but just too expensive for the scheme. I posted a thread recently on the cost reduction of lithium ion batteries and it shows that 2023 will be the year when the cost of BEVs and ICE cars become the same. At this time the only thing stopping BEVs coming on the scheme will be the demand from the general public. As we know the public get first pick of the best cars then motability get what’s left.

    Brydo here lies the problem I have a limited budget and need a decent size vehicle to accommodate my mobility scooter and walker, I need a reasonably high SUV I struggle to get in and out of a saloon car. Vehicles similar to the Ford Kuga and some of the VW Tiguan’s suit my need and at present within my budget.

    I am due to change in May 2020, by then the new  Kuga should be on the scheme, but I would imagine attract a high AP, so that leave the diesel VW Tiguan so were is the incentive/encouragement to be environmental friendly.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
