Firstly “ the remuneration of Motability’s senior team is tied to targets ensuring its customers switch to electric. Its annual report revealed that executive remuneration and corporate targets were based on increasing the percentage of EVs in the fleet mix”. I wasn’t aware of this, and it goes a long way in explaining why Motability are so fixated on pushing EVs. I have been defending Motability, by saying that it is dealers who are at fault by pushing vulnerable customers towards EVs, even when not appropriate for them, in order to help towards their unachievable ZEV targets. However, I can now see that Motability are at fault as well. It would be very interesting to have some firm statistics on how many EVs are being returned each year as being unsuitable, but I doubt that we will get that information.
I think that was obvious based on the real world perception of pricing structure’s and the distinct opposite on Motability. However, to sugest the goverment was not the instigator would be wrong.
