Motability
The Motability Scheme lets eligible disabled people exchange a qualifying mobility allowance for a vehicle lease, including electric cars. The lease package normally includes insurance, servicing and breakdown support. For a first fully electric car on the Scheme, Motability currently offers a 7 kW home chargepoint and standard installation where the property is suitable, subject to its current eligibility conditions. Motability is a UK mobility scheme rather than an EV technology term. It remains in the glossary because charging arrangements can affect the practical choice of an electric Motability vehicle.
