Oh I didn’t realise that, I thought everyone was buying them and they were the favourite choice
Even now, only one in four new car private buyers is choosing an EV. As far as the used market goes (which is by far the biggest segment) EV take up amongst private buyers is even less, with only around 6% of buyers choosing an EV.
EVs are far more popular on this forum than in the market in general. As Motability customers we are shielded from the biggest negatives aspects of EV ownership (high up front costs, crippling depreciation and higher insurance premiums) plus, of course, we can have a home charger fitted free of charge. If you have the ability to charge at home and would rarely need to use public chargers, the cost savings can be significant, so we can benefit from the biggest advantage of an EV whilst being shielded from the things that are stopping private buyers from getting them. I’d better stop now as I’m talking myself into getting one 😂
