With the way the price lists are heading I think I’ll be keeping my car for the whole 5 years thousands of pounds for a vehicle which most of them are quite basic really is crazy how do they expect people to come up with four figures when 80% of motability customers can’t work and have no savings myself included if it wasn’t for the grants team I’d be stuck back when I ordered in 2024 I needed a suv for my needs and the cheapest was £1499 otherwise I would’ve had to have a fiesta or something similiar due to my budget not sure what I’m gonna do in 2027 when it’s due for renewal
I have to admit the AP are getting ridiculous, I was under the assumption Mobility was encouraging us to go down the EV path, however, the EV AP appear to have balloned despite the Government incentive grants ? This could however be down to the EV used market prices Polestar, Tesla, Kia etc for under £18,000 some still with manufactures warranty
I’m starting to think Motability doesn’t really want us to have EVs, as you say Motability seems to be encouraging EVs but is that down to government pressure! To me it doesn’t make sense for Motability to have EVs on the fleet, ie increase costs for insurance, higher retail prices and really low second hand prices. It’s not a good business model.
How many of us would actually buy, if we had the money, a new EV?
