Thanks MF. Hadn’t clocked there was one in Truro, which is closer. Will give them a ring.
There is also Plymouth (same dealer I believe) – might be worth giving them a bell?

My experience of using contact us – Brilliant service from Motablilty.
Sent message last Thurs re no longer have a local dealer for my MG (only 6 Months into lease).
Phone call from Motablity on Saturday, very understanding young lady agreed to terminate lease early and waiver early termination fee because:
1. It was not my fault.
2. Never had occassion to contact them before (MG is tenth car from Motability)
3. Previous cars returned in excellent condition and low mileage.
Stated I could order a replacement immediately, and sure enough when I checked online account at end of call I could start the process to submit new order.

According to this page….no
https://www.motability.co.uk/products/cars/ev-info-hub/charging-at-home/
‘A chargepoint will only be installed for pure electric vehicles that have no other power source and are reliant on specialist charge points. Customers choosing a Plug-in Hybrid, which can generally be charged using a conventional 3 point plug, but can also use fuel to power the engine, are not eligible for this support’
