It’s a hard question to really answer and many won’t want to hear it.
Does seem the BEV’S are having the longest waits. Is that to do with the crisis’s or lack of chips or more to do with the rare materials needed over an ice car.
One thing I am sure of this is more the new normal for them and they not going back to over supply as was the model before the crisis’s.
Their selling less cars, but making more profits. Some cars have risen by 26% in the last couple of years. That was before the energy crisis. So i see costs rising even more and that plays along to the agenda being pushed. Which Imo will ultimately lead to less cars on the road and more sharing, until driverless car’s arrive then we won’t be allowed to drive as ai will be safer than humans. although the elite will still do as they do now as money and costs isn’t a problem, they just suck more from us.
Many manufacturers are prioritising their higher ticket cars over the cheaper one’s and that clearly has an effect on the scheme and the average person.
Personally I went the hybrid way, as we don’t have off road parking and charging would be a huge issue and the added cost if you cannot charge at home is huge. I also after 11 years decided to leave the scheme as it was not as viable for me as it once was. That will vary for each person and their needs and requirements.
Especailly so as we move towards no more ice cars being made and i think forcing them to adopt that policy will be the biggest problem for many and is one of the many reason’s, I made my move off the scheme now.
Another was the wait, as the car we had became unsuitable as my wife is also having mobility issues and was hard for her to get in or out of the current car we had and to wait maybe a year and hope it would arrive was not feasible and we got the new car in 4 weeks of the scheme.
