its great all these high end evs are coming on the scheme but what are the rest of us supposed to do?
That’s one of the points I made this morning. Reading this forum you’d think that 90% of Motability customers are switching to EVs, yet I think the latest figures they released said it’s only about 10% so far. I said the same as you – they aren’t catering well for the majority.
Around 150 BEVs compared to over 500 petrol cars, so fake news/trolling. There are no ‘high-end’ BEVs are on the scheme, cars on the scheme are equivalent in spec and quality to the petrol equivalents. Retail price is nothing to go on, a huge proportion of a BEV is the battery, manufacturers are offering discounts on BEVs to meet their emissions targets. Look at the prices for PCP/Lease deals on petrol cars, they generally higher than BEV deals, that is the best link to deals Motability can offer.
Actually there are 223 petrol cars, that have 5 seats and are automatic. The remaining 300 are either match box size or manual. Not what I’d call disabled friendly.
