I agree paul I don’t think increased energy cost have filtered into otr prices of new cars yet and the fact that some have increased in the last few years by as much 26% already and how much has the allowance increased by, for years and years it has not kept up and now we are really seeing that gap grow, with increased ap’s.
Prices now are the new normal and will increase further imo and then may fall back to current levels.
Most manufacturers plans are to make less car than before but make more profits. Like audi dropping the a1 and q2 from the line up to concentrate on premium models and other makers like nissan, Hyundai etc making more premium cars starting at almost 40k as more and more ev’s hit the production line, less and less cheaper alternatives will be available.
What then for the scheme and for us in general with mobility issues.
