This looks like great news, but I’m willing to bet the average selling price of these cars are going to go up by around £3,750.

    Maybe I'm naive but there's plenty of competition in the car market, if a manufacturer raises their prices but the rest don't then they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.

    I read somewhere that there were 50 possible models this could apply to. In each price range 15-20k, 20-25k etc the competition is vanishing small. If you need a car and have ££k to spend there are only a couple of options. They know they can price gouge, and the dealers don’t really want to sell the EV models, because they make no money on servicing.
