With the amount of cars with a current AP of £3,999 it’s likely that this will rise by £1,000 – if not this coming quarter, but Q1/26. At the lower end, £0 AP and below full monthly allowance are all but now zero.
From this, the future is not looking good for financial reasons. Also, given the amount of people who cannot benefit from reduced home charging rates, the uptake of EV’s is not going to surge anytime soon.
Overall, irrespective of what cars may be on the scheme; the cost is going to be prohibitive for many, and with a diminishing choice.
Another point is that the Terms and Conditions haven’t been updated for over 12-months, so maybe plans are afoot for further restrictions to new contracts.

From my personal perspective, having a ‘full allowance’ car with an AP of £3,999; and only travelling around 4,000 miles a year is not a cheap option – but of course, it was my choice. A further point is that in addition to my limited mileage, and with the speed limitations of living in a rural area, mean that the car is sat idle and unused for around 96% of the time. My perfect solution would be ‘car sharing’ or through a car club – but no local option exists … yet.
