I wonder who will have the longest wait – they should get a medal.
You are beating me, my order went in beginning of November 21. I am hoping for delivery before June 22.

GCB has increased over the years. I wish they would just knock it off the AP for the next car rather than transferring monies ala Chuckle Brothers, to me to you.
The biggest issue is that increases are easy to do, but if the economic situation changes, reductions are not so welcome. As per the changes to adaptations for example.
The intermittent ‘sweeteners’ we receive are welcome.

@xz130 at the moment, if you order an EV you get your charge point paid for. That will save you north of £500 plus the £600 good condition payment will help pay for the car – just a thought! Oh and I do like the jungle green, the website image does not do it justice.

The times, they are a changing. With many issues within the motor trade, I can not see much changing to Motability. It is what it is. Maybe the good times will come back later this year when the motor trade settles down? I have certainly had some ‘bargains’ over the years as well as paid through the nose.

@X depends what you want to do with it. If it is just to record events Nextbase 322gw is fine. If you want something for your tiktok account the Nextbase 522gw as @Rene suggest.

@xz130 do you have a home charge point already?

Got off road parking? Consider the MG ZS

@mitch if you see a car on the scheme that fulfils your needs at a price you like. Order it. Don’t dilly dally and don’t look back. Be happy!
I have had some cracking cars on the scheme at great AP prices. I do check the next quarter just in case the AP went down, but that was more about being a grumpy old man.

If you don’t have off road parking, I’m not sure Motability would lease you an EV (at the moment). Does anyone know if this is right?
Also, without home charging, it would be ambitious to run an EV, not impossible mind.
The i3 is different!
Actually, I have a friend who doesn’t have a home charger, so maybe you can order an EV.
I’d talk to Motability before you go too far down the EV route.

If the time limit is 3 hours in a disabled bay
Depends which nation you live in 😉

A year away – a lot may change.
I would consider going electric if you have off road parking. Kona is a fantastic car if you can fit in it. That would get my vote or even the amazing Ioniq if your a local driver but it may be a bit too low as it is a saloon car.

i guess if you find it really unsuitable, you should be able to agree with motability to be able to change it early. at least meantime you will have a car to run, as replacements will take quite a while anyway.
Sounds like a good plan.

I’m thinking of getting a dash cam fitted but a bit concerned about Motability’s non hard wired installation rules. Can I ask anyone who has a camera fitted, is it still possible to get one fitted and to hide the wiring in any way?
Don’t worry about it. I have a friend who has a dash cam wired in and I have a tow bar with electrics wired in. Just ask motability – they may add it to the insurance so it gets replaced should your car get written off. Ha!

5 January 2022 – Isolation switch installed and photo sent to BP. Received a reply from my contact thanking me and moving on to the next stage.
I have to say, so far, I am very impressed with how the installation is being handled. BUT we are not there yet!

if I try swapping it I get a slap on the hand with a cheeky grin
Sounds familiar to me!

I must be missing something here. Coming back to the original question – why would anyone expect to be allowed to spend longer charging than anyone else because they are disabled? Would it improve their mobility?
I think a destination charger (7kW) provider should consider removing any time limitations for blue badge users. The idea of having to get back to the car and then move it into a different space may not prove to be easy or realistic. And then there is the usual argument about how long it takes to do stuff when you are at your destination.
I agree with you at an MSA. Take what you need and jog on asap.

Morning DumfriesDik, that’s better than the 70 plate xc40 b4 mild hybrid 2 ltr auto petrol we’re driving..(description explains all). Are you using any special driving mode.. i.e we tend to use theECO mode…out of a list of …..ECO, Comfort, Dynamic (sport), Off Road rarely..
Good morning @ajn.
I have a choice of two drive modes on the CX5, normal and sport. Or loud and louder, hard to tell the difference if I’m honest. It’s also a 2ltr petrol auto. Very smooth and comfortable. Whoever gets to buy it has a great car.
AP was £1200 three years ago!!

What kind of charger? At an MSA (100kW) or a destination charger (7kW)?
Always follow the rules of the car park to avoid any penalties I guess.

ID3 on order – two months in and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. No more information to add. Sorry. BUT if it is the right car at the right price, grab it whilst you can. I’m happy to wait.
