    Please stop scaremongering. That article is rubbish.

    Motability generated some loss due to incentives (£750 pay outs, free ev chargers, grants – ) and drop in resale value. You may remember Tesla cut prices by 20% couple of years ago that had a knock on effect on used EV prices. Also insurance went up a bit.

     

    BTW Motability has 4 billion (!) pounds in capital reserve (i.e. cash in the bank) so far from going bankrupt. 😀

     

    Re other costs Motability vehicles are exempt of VED and VAT…
