Motability are deliberately pushing many people into EV’s and that’s fine… IF you have the means to charge at home.
On the other side of the coin however, Motability are sticking two fingers up to those of use who do not have the means to charge at home, plain and simple. The number of ICE cars on the scheme is pitiful & despite the fact the ICE ban is still some years away, Motability’s stance is ‘choose an EV now or get lost’.
Whilst I appreciate the cost of news cars is increasing year on year, those of us who still prefer an ICE or a hybrid (which I currently have) seem to me to be subsidising the shortfall electric cars will have on Motability’s funds in the years to come when it comes to selling them on through their auction agents. I personally think this is a disgraceful way for them to act & should be looked into via an independent body.
For the record ; I have been on the scheme for 28-years now – but never have I known a time in all those years when I have been so bitterly disappointed with those who are running the scheme & their total disregard for certain scheme members – just because we don’t want or can’t have an EV at this moment in time.
Hang your heads in shame Motability.
