A lot of the pricing is also down to residual values, so I’d hazard a guess in your case that they think the PHEV will depreciate more than the HEV
Yes I think that’s a big big problem for Motability with the advances in battery technology advancing by the day.
If its a full BEV Motability have the problem selling that car in 3 to 5 years time with its, let’s say, 250 mile range when the new model is likely to be cheaper or at best the same price but with an extended range.
With the Plug-in’s there’s the problem that new models have to be able, don’t quote me on this but, must be able to travel 50 mile in electric only mode while the older models its only about 30 mile so the older models are going to be less desirable over the new models.
