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?
Its quite irrelevant, because in a little over 4 years you can only buy a new ev, you will not be able to buy a petrol car. After that, yes a few new hybrid cars will be available.
One thing is for sure the transition will be messy either side of 2030.
Either way, the penalties will hit non-ev sales as they edge closer to 2030.
