This was from the Live Chat Brydo,
I was taking the positives that Motability are including the cost of a home charger in the ‘package’, and seeing that the scheme is for the mobility impaired it’s taking a line to ensure anyone who takes out an ev on the scheme will have easy anytime access to a charger, being it’s at their home.
They wouldn’t take the car back if you moved home, you would have the responsibility then to ensure you had access to a charger. I think it’s great that they are costing and ensuring you have a home charger when you take out the lease.
My view is from a personal point from the experience i had in trying to get permission for a home charger so i could consider an EV. My position remains the same that without a home charger i wouldn’t entertain an EV.
The problem here isn’t motability, it’s more to do with legislation surrounding who can have a home charger.. it shouldn’t be for only those that have a private driveway. And again personally for me, social housing landlords should be approving permission for home chargers, and not refusing on the basis that they would be then responsible for additional wiring.
