Sir Stephen Timms: “Responsibility for the terms and administration of the Scheme sits with Motability Foundation and its Board of Governors.” So basically its Motability’s choice and not our problem.
What was said in the news article, is different to what it says on Journey’s & stops on Motability website!
I’m not surprised!
(c) Drivers who use their roadside recovery services in excessive, (if you get a duff car either push it home or preferably to the dealership)
So if through no fault of your own, you get a lemon, you will be punished!
So is this compulsory now for existing customers? Or just the under 30s and new people it’s very middle what I’m hearing at least
The rollout will start on new leases from April 2026, with the intention to review and analyze whether to introduce it across the board based on the feedback and results from the initial rollout.
Kezo does the urban cruiser take longer to charge than the chr plus ? As you know I’ve had a chr hybrid for 5 years this one now 2 years so miss a rear wiper bloody dangerous imho can’t believe they haven’t put one on this new one !
Urban Cruiser has a 61kWh battery / CHR+ 77kWh battery
If your charging at home it doesn’t really matter.
If your going to be charging away from home on DC charging, the CHR+ supports 150kWh vs Urban Cruisers 70kWh
I sat in the urban cruiser at Toyota yesterday nil payment shame it gets bad reviews has all the equipment I’d want and didn’t look to bad in silver imho
I think you have to consider auto jouralists reviews with some skepticism, especially if your just an average daily driver.
I am quite interest I could do with some more information
Make sure you both comfortable in one, either used or at a centre (not sure if your nearest might be Birmingham way) befor deciding
Oil Tumbles my more than 10% and UK gas prices down, following the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, even if only on a temporary basis, has come as a huge sigh of relief to global markets, easing immediate fears around energy supply disruption with the oil price instantly dropping more than 10% and providing a degree of stability to shipping routes. Ship owners, charters & insurers are still to assess risks of how safe the Strait is, keeping prices risk inflated. However the RAC said pump prices started to come down yesterday.
Bloomberg:
Thanks for advice will look into it
(1) should have said “why hasn’t the grant been paid”
Before submitting any information, I’d be inclined to email them asking, why after 15 months of the charger being installed:
(1) The grant hasn’t already been applied for.
(2) Why Ohme are chasing you for further evidence as outlined under the updated April 2026 rules
(3) That you require proof of the most recent application status from OZEV. Failure to provide this, you will make further enquiries before submitting further evidence.
I am OZEV registered as a commercial installer and being chased 15 months or more after having your charger installed is very odd and I would want evidence it has not been claimed or there using your address to try and claim under the new rules (possibly as a second charger)!
Thanks Mark, hopefully something good will come of it!
Perhaps, you could email yuor MP a list of the cars with nill upfront payment and ask are they really suitable for all and suitable to carry disabled and their equipment!
I guess I just got a bit of a shock cause I thought I was just sharing a form that people could either chose to sign or not sign. I didn’t expect some of the comments, but its a lesson on not taking things personally.
Your evidence was backed up by links from reputable sources, so there are no lessons you need to learn and the majority would rather you share information and if it can be backed up by yourself or by others (as it was) all well and good.
Another question to ask is would solicitors take on cases or would disabled advocates take on cases, if they didn’t think there was one?
@Des if your trying to drag it out of me then I did fill in the form after a little research😉Motability cars do not have trackers as a standard feature, but they may be fitted in certain circumstances, such as if there is a high risk of misuse, if the customer lives in a care home or at a different address.

Anyway, as its me, I will add my slant on the relevant FB post.
“As if Motability wil tell a disabled person to go and locate/take bacck a car if its been stolen!
The Mini Countryman in nice shiny black looks good 🙂
Whether you should be apologising is nother matter😂
Ack Joe there’s no need to step away from anything. I’m the only one who filled it in and I couldn’t give a flying…
You assume😉
I have no idea. The link was shared to me by the lady who runs the Northern Ireland Facebook Motability group and she seemed to think that the action was valid and that the journalist would be helpful.
As @Woodpecker says, you did what you did in good faith, and you have nothing to be sorry for.
I would not expect the leader of a Motability Facebook group to lead you down the garden path with false information.
Besides the google link you provided stacks up with one such organisation (DPAC UK) who are one that has now sought legal advice to see whether these changes are unlawful under the Equality Act.
A legal challenge was also officially launched on or around 9th April under sec149 of the Equality Act 2010, with a Pre-Action Protocol Letter Before Claim has been formally served on HM Treasury in respect of proposed Judicial Review proceedings concerning recent Government policy changes impacting the Motability Scheme.
There also a different take with A proposed judicial review over changes being made outlined in the Business Quarters link above.
You were not wrong to post what you did, as there definately seems to be something going on in the wider network. Whether anything does come from any of them is unsure, but no one on here is solicitor specialising in th the Equality Act and therefore can only assume!
My comment on the I Paper, was purely based on, why give them anything, when the I was as bad as other press in publishing hate and then only to be riddled at in the comments.
@Joe I would not give any information to the press after they (including The I) slated us.
Disability Advocates UK
Please becarful of filling out this form. It is merely a google form with no identifying of who Disability Advocates UK are. I have ran a serch on the name and can not find anything about them on line. @kezo see if you can find anything about them. My advice do not touch until further details can be confirmed.
I think DPAC is one such organisation behind it.

DPAC are running or doing something similar.

Someone shared this survey with me that is being used as evidence for possible group legal action against Motability by Disability Adovates UK https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfLjhrTL014rLzLH-xSjGg9GkLJxhuVoAyRYjojaHaWXhnlEg/viewform?fbclid=IwVERTSARNckdleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR5YzmlTDT5cbs2mmEBet_UKpyLR3sgEQHejPEkl0m-yD4LZ5wyDeqUE4mjBWQ_aem_dM94NrcBtT3mn9ZWBlGhlg&pli=1
Now thats not only worth filling in, but also its own thread.
