@Ele is this a sales target that runs from beginning of year until end of year? Or are the sales targets in quarters. My thinking is that as I’m about to renew then in three years time and every three years after that I could be in the best possible position this grab a bargain as it’s end of year and they need to hit sales targets. I know little about sales and targets tbh. My thinking is they have quarterly targets then if not met a big final push at the last quarter and in particular the end of year November, December.
Retailers Sales targets were in the main quarterly as far as we were concerned
A bargain or two has been had in the past if leasing just before that point but retailers are right now dropping their EV margins in a last ditch attempt to meet or get nearer the Gov set EV targets/deadlines.
So its a whole new ball game at the moment
The net zero mandate says that by the end of 2024, at least 22 percent of new cars sold by any manufacturer must be zero-emissions models.
By 2030 that number will rise to 80 percent, before the total ban in 2035
The 2024 year-to-date overall share of EV sales in the UK is less than 18 percent, however – despite a record number of electric vehicles being sold in September. Most of that growth is from fleet sales, which the SMMT says demonstrates the importance of incentivising consumers
Taking the above into consideration
I am surprised as the clock is ticking that we a not seeing more zero APs at this particular point in time
