Lots of coverage in the media at the moment about prices and profitability of EV batteries such as this Electric vehicle battery cost officially dips under critical $100/kWh price point but there’s a catch | Electrek – cost of batteries to manufacturers is coming down and not far from allowing them to sell EV and ICE models at the same price. The catch though is that Chinese manufacturers and established EV brands are already switching to new battery technology leaving the traditional ICE brands with old tech on which they have low profit margins. What might all that mean for us Motability customers I wonder. Good deals on EVs from traditional makers as they look to offload stock which will date rapidly. Or very bad deals while they try to hold on to some level of profit from the stock they have already invested in. Looking at APs today I’d say a bit of both. The recent AP drops on the ID4, BMW and Enyak look like good deals today but may turn out not to be such a bargain in a year when models with longer range are £5k or more cheaper in the showroom than they are today. For me things are moving to fast to consider blowing £5k plus on an AP because it is very likely there will be better range and prices in 1 or 2 or 3 years time. Will I listen to myself and extend my lease if there’s what looks like a bargain on something new and shiny with lots of toys when I can re-order at the end of October though? No, of course it won’t..
