This will hopefully make the Q4 list very interesting!
We’ll find out in a months time, but I wouldn’t hold your breath. Even as a private buyer, looking for just one car, it is currently possible to get huge discounts on new EVs, even those not eligible for the grants. I get a monthly notification of current discounts on selected cars and was staggered to see a number in the 20-30% range and even one at 35%. As the biggest fleet buyer, we can be sure that Motability will be negotiating much bigger discounts than an individual will be able to buying just one car! On that basis, whether a £1,750 grant (which will most likely result in manufacturers just reducing their own discounts by the same amount) will find its way through to APs I’m a little sceptical – but we shall see.
