If government giving something for free, it means you don’t need it, they need it.
-
Welfare? Healthcare? Your government literally works by providing free services
-
What point are you trying to make
-
?? how do you think they fund these grants?
-
False, classic nonsensical boomer take.
-
They need it to make the loudest and most obnoxious people in the UK satisfied

nuh uh internal combustion better

Does the government not understand that no one has any money left.
-
Is this why everyone’s driving 25 plate vehicles? EV sales have increase by 26% in 2025
-
@@loluser41 Since when is everyone driving 25 plate cars? & lots of cars on finance does not indicate a healthy financial position. Few people have the money to buy anything significant out right and own it.
-
@@brianmcintyre14Around me dealers are bursting of sales and don’t even have time to do test deives. New EV’s are being pre-ordered without even stepping foot in a dealership. Sure, probably most are on finance, but this just means people have enough to spare on a lease. I think the government is in the right to subsidy the purchase of economically better EV’s

that’s why they “qualify” certain people to launder money stolen from you, in a way that “people gets free money from goverment”. I meantime we already paid way more money (like everyone not 1 in a 200) than possible grand to get

@@loluser41 they increased because thats what most cars are now days. they removed choice and there are less choice of cars overall. everything is ev rubbish. more people are buying used than ever.

I love how you broke down the EV grants! It’s crazy to think that with £650 million, we’re looking at just one grant for every 200 drivers 🙈
-
Well yeah, it’s only on new cars, so how many people do you think buy a new car every year?
The pub analogy doesn’t really work because in a pub basically everybody buys multiple ‘brand new’ drinks. Whereas most people don’t buy brand new cars, and even those that do aren’t doing it every year. -
And you can be sure some got multiple grants too.

It’s simple in Ireland…there is no grant…
-
Also no public transport. Only the good old M50.

Very nice wordplay on the BEV
-
The government didn’t give anyone any money, that’s your money.
-
Nailed it!…EVERYONE pays, while only the lucky few will benefit! (And you will pay again & again as these 3 ton EV”s ruin your roads dont pay fuel tax and push your electical network to the limits!)

Do people not understand that oil companies and legacy automotive companies have been given literally trillions over the decades by the government? Oil companies continue to take in vast sums in the form of tax breaks and grants.
These tiny EV grants are a drop in the bucket.-
You think big electric companies haven’t had the same treatment for years. You’re naive.
-
Ok but who asked?

-
Only so they can control your car in the future 👀
-
😂😂😂
-
They control your car at present as well. Taxes, insurance, driving license, licensed fuel distributors etc.
-
@@JJSmith1100 I think he was referring to a different kind of control. But tbh, I can’t argue with this kind of statement, because I can’t take him seriously, if he thinks, that’s the reason for discounts.

Government*
You, that’s the money you have to pay back with taxes. Its not free.-
The people using those loans aren’t paying much in tax anyway – they’re taking everyone else’ tax money.

EVs are the LGBT of the cars industry. You want it or not, you’re getting it. 😂
-
Mat, you’re a handsome guy but make sure you’re wearing sunscreen! The sun damage will catch up to you.

I’ll keep my ICE car thanks
-
What a monumental waste of money. If you can afford £35k on a car you can afford £37k. And if you can’t afford either then ffs buy second hand.
It would be kinda ok if maybe it was limited to cars built in the UK so there was circular economic benefit.
-
And stop spending taxpayer money because you think a new car every 18 months is a necessity…
-
-
If I was offered a brand new EV for £100 I’d still not be interested.
-
Hmm an exaggeration lol. That would be stupid
-
But you could flip it in a year for nearly 50 of those 100 pounds.
-
-
Because using taxpayers money to help people pay for cars they can’t afford is such a good idea.

Shhhh, don’t tell em that 😀😀😀 here we go Argentina 😀

when Mat said ” No spirits or wine” he was giving off pure Alan Partridge vibes. 😂

Matt is surprisingly entertaining, you know, for an accountant and all.

I’ve got a 3 1/2 year old hybrid Evoke and it’s just cost JLR £13k for a new battery and complimentary car hire. It’s hardly ever been ‘fast charged’ and my wife is the main driver and she is the stereotypical lady driver. We need to keep it as the trade in value is terrible for a 37k mileage car. It’s back to ICE asap for us.

I loved the BEV(ie/erage) example 😂
