    As far as i know there’s no official numbers on the price cap.

    The EV6 will not come to the scheme. They start at £41.000. That’s the cheapest model, lowest range/power and no options. The Ioniq 5 is slightly cheaper at £37.000 for the same trim level, still too expensive. As far as i know, there’s no car on the scheme with a base price of £37.000, indeed not even close.

    It’s an obtuse system where cars like the 3008 Hybrid 4 300 at something like £44.000 are allowed, because the base model is cheap – if the 3008 base model was the price of the Hybrid 4 300, it wouldn’t be on the scheme.

    You’re talking about two cars where the base models are already considerably more expensive than most fully equipped cars on the scheme. Even the ID4 base model is £2000 cheaper, and that model has an AP range from £3000 to £8500.

    The EV6 price is somewhat comparable to the Tesla Model 3 and Mach E in price – it’s not going to happen, don’t get your hopes up. The Ioniq 5, well.. I could see that come to the scheme if the price for the base model gets slightly reduced, but i’m very sure that that’s not going to happen before march/july.

    There’s no way to accurately predict what’s coming to the scheme either, other than asking a dealer who doesn’t really know either. My guess, for the next few months? One of the biggest additions might be the new Sportage, somewhere between Q1 and Q2 next year.
