The automobile industry is changing so quickly that i wonder if Motability can exist in its present form. EVs, BEVs in particular, together with autonomous capability, will make owning a car an expensive luxury.
Motability charity is set up to serve the disabled, Motability Operations is a business, will they be able to compete with company’s like Tesla who reckon they can run fleets of BEVs with no driver with each car charging pennies a mile.
I predict Motability will be swamped by these larger companies, and i expect to see the likes of Apple and Amazon jumping on the electrification bandwagon also.
Would you be happy to call up a car, like a taxi, rather than own one. Obviously the car/van would cater for your particular disability but would allow you, depending on how many times you use it, to keep some of your weekly payment.
I see huge benefits for those who are blind or partially sighted, those who don’t or cant drive and those who travel less than 5000 miles a year.
What do you think?
The only person who got all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe.

Mmmm
Not so sure that companies tendering for the contract is such a good idea, look what has happened to the railways. Standards of service always drop when cost becomes paramount and who would we trust to oversee the process?
Nobody would be completely happy regardless of the figures, make no mistake the only reason the choice on the scheme is as large as it is now is down to it being successful.
Reduce costs, loose staff, reduce APs then take away all the money they have in reserve and then see how reduced the choice is.
London is getting more and more expensive, which is why i have moved home recently. Everything is more expensive so yes, i do think motability will be around, as less and less people own a car.
