This is bad news. I’ve enjoyed the optimism on the forum over recent weeks about the emergence of well specced hybrids and EV’s on Motability. Hopefully this will get sorted by Motability and the powers that be because Motability can be a driving force in increasing EV awareness on UK roads. I’m assuming that currently approved orders will be honoured by Motability, but we need an update from the scheme to confirm this. I have a hybrid on order which arrived at the dealer on Wednesday. I paid the AP in full on Wednesday evening and it is being delivered to my home on Monday morning, and the home charger is booked for install on April 9th (this is also already paid for). Hopefully it goes ahead as planned. I’ll let you guys and girls know.
You should be fine POPS, the Plugin Hybrids had already lost the grant, hence them being so expensive AP wise.
Re my car, the dealer just phoned me up to say it had arrived at their premises and gave me the new Registration number. As far as he’s aware, the car is still fine and I’m due to collect at 12pm on the 4th. FINGERS CROSSED, but feel sorry for those who were still trying to place an order.
