Are there any deals/discounts for ANY EV at the moment?

[soupdragon1]

We bought a VW ID3 family Pro Performance back in October and with Govt grant, Dealer Discount and £1750 PCP offer, all totalled to about £6k discount (£29k v £35.7k list price inc alloy upgrade)

Now I know the Govt grant has changed again, so I'll not get that on another car but it seems any discounts have totally dried up. I called into Kia on Saturday to nosey round the EV6 (nice car, lovely interior) and dealer said its list price only, no discounts. Same when you check online.

Its a family car we are after, so something relatively spacious. We were considering the ID4, as when you previously specced the Life version up, it was a decent value proposition (thats when the grant applied) plus dealer discount etc, but that was back in Oct. Different story now (wish we had of just went and ordered the ID4 there and then)

Now, dropping £37, £38k on an ID4 puts you into that Polestar 2, Kia EV6, Ioniq 5 area.

Anyway, overall question - any nice EV's out there that I haven't thought of, and any deals kicking about? Its start of the year and was kind of hoping for some deals, but doesn't seem to be any around!

Unlikely to see discounts on a factory order car from any manufacturer with such long lead times at the minute. .

Skoda Enyak should also probably make your list and will add that you're going to be looking at £40k+ for an Ioniq 5 or EV6 which would also bring the Audi Q4 e-Tron and Mustang Mach-E into the equation.

Mercedes EQA has decent discounts but s unfortunately rather expensive to begin with so still looking at closer to £45k.

Unfortunately not.

My brother has been looking into EVs since last October, since then the gov have changed the grant scheme, and VW has removed the deposit contribution and put their prices up, meaning an iD3 isn't the value proposition it once was. I'm sure VW don't care, with a 9-12mth wait on new cars anyway, but it's meant he's no longer looking at them as potential cars.

Yeah, the Enyaq is a nice car

No issue upping the budget to £45k and while the EQA is within budget, imo, its not great for value for money. Its fairly small compared to the other offerings in this price region whereas the mustang has a bit more room inside. The ioniq 5 and EV6 have a very spacious feel, although, I haven't actually seen the EQA in the flesh to be fair, just some pics

They very much do (as do all the others). Better to sell lots at a discount than a few at full price.

But if they can't keep up with current demand they don't need to offer incentives to sell more cars.

Demand is already outstripping supply.

On one hand; on the other, a healthy forward order book pleases investors.

Good deal in the current climate. £18 less a month on the same terms as the higher spec Family Pro Performance with optional paint I ordered on 2nd November. I think the deal I got was better but for now that is good.

I agree with OP though, looking now compared to 2 months ago, the deals are really bad.
