I phoned and enquired about a grant and they were thoroughly rude and obnoxious to the point I hung up and gave up.
No choice of fuel so I said so you’re happy for me to have a car I can’t afford to use then and they said well we get the lease money if you use it or not…. I kid you not!
I explained my needs like low boot sill etc and she basically just snorted that’s what it sounded like and said I could have a petrol Qashqai I said can you afford to run a petrol Qashqai because if you can’t on a wage I can’t on benefits thanks.
I love in a very rural location so in the end I settled on an MG zs EV for £199 and put it on a credit çard. Car wasn’t totally suitable but was the closest I could get still struggle now esp trying to get a boot scooter in or out but not like there’s much to swap to wanted a Berlingo or combo e but £4500 and £6100 for those and can’t see Motability ponying up for that.
Other than those there’s next to nothing with a low load back, big boot and a very upright seating position etc. Used to be you do a search and get 2 or 3 pages in before you got above £200 now it’s second page and shoots up pretty quick.
