A brief summary of what the filters are showing:
Boot size EV Hybrid ICE
1-2 4 3 10
2-3 11 12 37
3-4 21 15 61
4-5 17 12 29
5+ 3 5 11
This is cars only different models are not counted (so 1 astra hatch, estate but not trim levels)
This is a quick search through the filters. The results are subject to the accuracy or lack of of the numbers reported by the filter. I’ve neither the time nor inclination to go through every single car for a full list.
This does not reflect the pricing of the cars, so doesn’t currently show the push in pricing but I refer you to my previous statement about time and inclination…
@NanasRob71 Thank you for the fuller reply. I’m lucky in as much as all limbs kind of work, so I have to take what those few who have limited limb capabilities which has, to date, been rather a mixed bag. Lots of complaints about weight of cables and how stiff they can be, a few complaining about access to the charger and nobody really giving a positive view (such a shock for the internet, I know). I agree, there is usually a bunch of people hanging around the busier charging places and someone will pretty much always help out someone they see struggling, whether it’s physically or just working out what they’re doing.
I think Motability could well take responsibility for the future provision for vehicles for the disabled community. After 2030,35 or whenever the next government decide it’ll be, there won’t be ICE sold new, which means the scheme will be Hybrid or EV for a limited time, then BEV only. If they haven’t thought about charging, access to chargers and the costs for disabled people as well as encouraged those pioneering home charging solutions for those who don’t fit into the luxury of a drive, then there’s going to be a massive problem. In time terms, this could rather quickly return to 6 years if Labour decide to reinstate the 2030 target or it’ll remain at 11 currently. Neither are very long in terms of identifying a problem and finding a solution, testing it, marketing it and settling on a number that can work, either in isolation or as a combination. The gully @Phaedra has works well, I’ve also seen a swinging arm that can be either swung or folded out to support the cable above head height with the cable then dropping alongside the car and away from pedestrians. Whatever the solutions are, even if it’s a charger in every lamp post, then someone needs to find some urgency in providing that solution at a cost that isn’t prohibitive.
This shows that there are still more ICE than alternative fuelled cars but I did notice a dramatic lack of diesels.
I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
