On top of this topic, I just orderd a Ioniq 6, Parks were offering a good chunk of money (£750) + my (£750) contribute from the mobility scheme so around 1500 and the total down payment was around 3999 for the top end spec. Luckily they had 1 in stock which was their showroom model and was the exact spec and colour I liked. Took it a test drive and wow. Very similar to the seal, I sat in the seal yesterday but didn’t get to drive it. Comfort wise I would say the seal just wins, but not by much. I don’t see the seal coming onto mobility, or if it does. I reckon you would be waiting a long time for them. BYD haven’t shown any interest to add it. Happy with the ioniq 6 purchase though!
I can’t see it joining in Q1 or at least not at the begining. Even when/if it joins it will likely be the RWD Design 5.9s. The Atto 3 took 2 quarter to join the scheme, which no one thought it would and the Dolpin joined about 3 months later from when it was first available. By my calculations the Seal will join in at somepoint in Q2, maybe before depending on market uptake.
