    @kezo the future of car purchases between 2025 and 2035 will need more than a crystal ball.  I expect the ability to buy pure ICE beyond 2030 would be a limited choice, often looking like the PHEV options do now.  Maybe this will boost used prices, in the same way that the delayed delivery of new vehicles post Covid helped keep used car prices at silly levels.

    The progressive targets will pretty much force the issue.  80% BEV won’t leave much space for both hybrid and pure ICE.

    As for the impact on Motability, prices for EVs have already reduced significantly for many manufacturers.  When you take into account the speech shared in another thread highlighting an intent to use the size of their customer base to encourage EV uptake, I would expect the prices across the board to reduce for, initially, hybrids and BEVs whilst increasing prices on ICE vehicles, although at a slower pace.
