Thankfully, neither of those cars would remotely appeal to me. I don’t want an EV and the Genesis probably bings and bongs as much as our Hyundai, which drives me to distraction I’m just relieved that you didn’t say that the Drs car park was full of BMW X5s, as that would have really irritated me, especially as Motability customers aren’t even allowed the lowly X1 these days!

 

I think that’s as much to do with where I am as much as what’s available.  I’d guess if you looked at a hospital where X5s and Land/Range Rovers are common, there’d be a fair few parked in the car park.  I very much doubt the NHS Scheme disqualifies anything because of brand, just affordability or, more accurately, the amount of salary remaining after the reduction.

Back when I had nurses calling every day, we could tell when most arrived as there’d be a white Toyota Aygo turn up.  It wasn’t until one wanted to talk about electric cars that I found out they were a special offer from the leasing company and was suitable economical for travelling around the county.  So I’d say they can be guided by offers but there’s no overwhelming push towards electric or away from specific brands.

This is why the abject hypocrisy of our government bites really hard.  Only because someone spread the bs around ‘free cars’ we’re not allowed certain brands while the only government spend is the absence of VAT and IPT.  Meanwhile, working people get between 20 and 45% off the monthly payments on whatever car they want regardless of whether they need such a car.  No need to view and apply and collect no sooner than 4 days later with every thing being in person, whilst SS you just order and don’t necessarily have to see the car in person.

I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
