I think that those who think that this will result in better deals for Motability customers will be disappointed. Motability Operations will have already negotiated discounts on EVs that are many times the value of this grant for private buyers, so I can’t see it making any difference whatsoever.
My understanding some of the Chinese companies have now reduced their list prices to match the Government grants
I’m sure that a lot of manufacturers will do the same but, again, I don’t think this means that APs will fall. I bet that Motability Operations are already getting discounts on EVs of at least 30% on EVs and possibly a lot more. Private buyers getting a 10% subsidy won’t make a blind bit of difference to anything AP wise, other than perhaps adversely if it means that residual values will fall even more!
