i think another problem motability are going to face is the Governments targets for OEMs to achieve regarding BEV sales. this year 22% of all car sales have to be BEV in the UK by 2030 that number has to be 80% not sure if the new labour government will alter the target or give the OEMs a longer time to achieve the desired quota but if it is withheld each year OEMs will offer less petrol alternatives and soon all that will be on the motability list are BEVs. if the APs for over half of them remain at £3000+ i think that might hit the sales side of motability as not everyone including myself has that kind of money to spend the most i have paid for a AP was £3k for a very nice BMW X1 in 2015
