Long range MG5 is now out

[Stinsy]

So the long range MG5 is available locally for just £25.5k new. I've seen one, it looks good and I am -sorely- tempted. EVs with decent range really are on the cusp of becoming affordable.

I'd prefer the 80kWh Enyaq, but with options (125kW charging etc) I can't currently get that for much less than £42k (with the bump to VED that comes with).

There is no VED on BEVs!

I can confirm that, something that potentially put me off the TM3, but I believe there was a Government U turn. There is a drawback with a pricey EV is the £2,500 grant is not available on a BEV over £35k.

BEVs registered between 2017 and 2020 did indeed incur the enhanced VED of their original list price was above £40k. But that was dropped in April 2020.
