There is a very restricted choice of cars with zero AP (Great news! The Dacia Sandero is one of them) but if you only need a smaller car you’ll find the choice ok.
The most interesting thing for me was that EV take up, even allowing for cars in the pipeline, only represents 1 in 10 customers. As 90% of Motability customers order a new car every 3 years, and Motability have been pushing EVs hard for the last 2 years, that doesn’t seem a lot, especially as getting an EV through Motability removes many of the barriers to ownership that are keeping private buyers away from them. Yet more evidence, if ever it was needed, that the 2030/35 dates will have to change, although the current government still have their fingers in their ears over this.
A strong focus on the usability and user experience of the web portal, and seamless integration between the different components, is paramount. For example, the portal’s search facility covers news articles, the product catalogue and the toolbox catalogue in a single, unified fashion.
Having just skimmed through the Motability Annual Report (posted in another thread) there are several mentions that Advance Payments will be rising, which continues the trend of the last few years. There will always be exceptions, but the overall trend is going to remain upwards.
Regarding the building of applications around this free and open data, one consortium is already featuring the CDS’s pool of data. As a joint effort between ECMWF, EUMETSAT and Mercator Ocean, CDS data will be available inside the WEkEO DIAS (Data and Information Access Service). WEkEO, one of the five DIAS launched by the European Commission, is an access point for all Copernicus data and information. Ultimately, such expansion of climate applications will further extend the user base for the CDS and the Copernicus programme.
There are still some of us left on the Motability scheme who’d prefer something ‘fun’ and something that isn’t pure electric or a bloody SUV!
