    You cannot get the Twin motor EX30 on Motability only the SMER. The difference is 3.5sec and 5.3 sec, to 62mph

    So no supercar on the scheme. More like a hot hatch.

    Who knows if that was even real, It could of been one of those simulations they do in the real world. With all the emergency services, I certainly don’t trust just some pictures and I would of thought, there would be more damage to the mini. It look to me as if the EX30 was placed there by a crane.

    I had my hour long unaccompanied test drive in the twin motor and guess what I didn’t crash it. I tried out the park assist, also in the Morrison car park, local to me.

    If it was real, it’s likely it would or could happen in any automatic and maybe to anyone in any car, who suddenly had some sort of episode.

    Yet somehow, The old, disabled and the scheme are the target.

    I’ve seen a few of this guys videos in the past and usually they are factual to some extent about stuff that’s happened or going to be implemented relating to cars, but this time he’s way of the mark.

    More on the ZEV mandate for example or oxfords ZEZ and how that’s being forced upon us all. I do feel that’s why many are anti BEV. Plus as MB are pushing EV’s to some extent they also a target.

    I just don’t buy into any of it. I got an EV as it works for me. No one has forced me to get an EV or any car.

    I always do my own research into things, but I do feel it’s good to hear others views as how can you understand them without knowing them and then you can discuss. The problem is in this day and age is people don’t want to discuss and that’s on both sides. The biggest hurdle to anything is people themselves and there closed minds. Hence me joining this forum.

    Once I looked into it all I decide an EV was better for me. Plus even if I couldn’t have a home charger the nearest tesla to me, is supercheap between 12am and 4am. I get it’s not the same everywhere and that’s what people do need to look at, before they get an EV on the scheme and is the biggest complaint on Facebook groups of those who cannot get a home charger installed is the expense of public charging.

    luckily I could, get the home charger. Plus I’m sure I heard, if you are worried you won’t, you can get the survey done before ordering an EV, one just needs to ask Motability to arrange that.
