Likewise I’d be willing to pay up to the mentioned £15k AP if the spec was right or in the case of EV’s, the range would also have to taken into account. However £15k is alot of money to put down knowing that after 3 or 5yrs you have nothing to show for it, even with not taking into account sacrified benifits. My head would be telling me to buy new or nearly new depending on the car.
As for EV’s I think the Enyaq is one of the better higher AP EV’s on the schemewith all things considered. Although a “option pack” is needed to make it half decent adding more £s onto the AP. Its certainly a nicer place to be thant its VW cousins with their “big box little box” themes. The only possible exception is the id7 which is unlikely to join the scheme and the Q4 etron, although you sacrifise range compared to the Enyaq supposedly near 340 mile rang, which Ive read is nearer to 240 miles in real terms and 200 in winter.
At the other end of the scale you have the “big box, little box” themed MG4, Kona whils’t it lasts and excellent value Megane e-tec, although in a rather basic spec. Perhaps I should ment the “Funky Cat” Ora a joint venture between Great wall and BMW, which the 2024 Mini electric will share many of the Cats components and built alongside it.
No BYD Atto on the scheme surprises me, as they are no stranger to the UK, first seen in here in 2015 with the E6 taxi for a London firm “green tomato” and the London Enviro bus. But, I guess they haven’t got BMW in their name!
