For many Motability Scheme customers, a power cut isn’t just inconvenient, it interrupts essential care and independence. With @ofgem.gov.uk, we’re exploring how EVs could provide temporary backup power for households, keeping essential equipment running during power cuts.

When affordable chargers aren't available, drivers pay for expensive rapid charging. For disabled drivers who depend on their cars for freedom and independence, this hits hardest. Our UK EV Charging heat map has the latest about where UK drivers are paying the least (and the most) for charging.

As the UK looks to phase out the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030 it’s never been more important to understand what will help drivers feel confident about switching to an EV. The January 2026 Motability Scheme EV Transition Tracker has everything you need to know.

Our EV Transition Tracker shows 37% of Motability Scheme customers wouldn’t use a public charger. That’s why we helped shape the OCPI Accessibility Extension with the Motability Foundation, EV Roaming Foundation, and partners across government and industry.

What’s holding drivers back from making the switch to EVs ahead of the 2030 ban on petrol and diesel cars? Is it cost? Chargepoint availability, or accessibility? The Motability Scheme’s latest EV Transition Tracker has the answer to these questions and more!
