    Something is amiss this quarter, with the AP increase’s seen in most non BEV cars. For a fact this does not mirror the automotive market!

    Motabilty scheme:

    Hyundai Kona Ultimate BEV £999

    Hyundai Kona Ultimate 1.ol Turbo £2199

    New car market:

    Hyundai Kona Ultimate BEV £39,900

    Hyundai Kona Ultimate 1.0 Turbo £25,500

    The above example shows the opposite pricing structure and can be seen across all models of vehicles that are available as both a ICE and BEV.

    So it beg’s the question, is Motability in part funding the ultra low BEV AP’s off the back of ICE vehicles.

    This will only get worse each year, as manufacturers see an outlet, to avoid hefty fines through the ZEV mandate.
