@kezo my comnent wasnt aimedcat the OP, rather the anti ec press who’s reporting is biased against the ev market. The fact of the matter is that ev sales are up on last year, yes, other power units are also up, but to say ev sales are down us incorrdct. Yes, the government’s pronouncements On ev change over is unwelcome within the Aito industry, as lije a super tanker, you can’t stop and change direction quickly. With all the anti ev press reports in papers read by those who get a company car have had an effect, cementing nonsense like they can’t travel as far as a petrol car, the charging structure usnt there etc etc. will more ev cars appear on the scheme? Yes, as Motability has committed to increasing the amount if evs.
Not disagreeing with you as EV sales are up around 1.5% compared to September registrations last year. Mnufactures are strugging, while many are reporting loses. Does that mean we will see more of a variety on the scheme, I’m not so sure, unless Motability dig deeper in their pocket (see my earlier post), rather than their normal cut throat buisness model. WouldAP’s will rise who knows!
I’m actively looking at EV’s namely the ioniq 6 at this point, does it go as far in the real world as my current car hell no, especially in colder weather. The main issue I have is the lack of charging stations when I’m away from home every three weeks. By that I meen faster 100-150kW chargers, which there are only three and realistically in the wrong place. Do I divert 60-70miles and go via the motorway hell no thats just plain stupid. Any EV that is capable of 450+ WLTP miles won’t be seen on the scheme for quite a while.
