OK so my wife owns a countryman PHEV and now she wants to swap it for a new Mini EV. It makes sense for her because she commutes into the London ULEZ/Congestion zone every day so otherwise whe would have to pay £23.50 a day as of next year, and its only 8 miles from our house so range not an issue. She also loves mini brand for some reason. she got the level 3 package in enigmatic black with the stupid plug wheels, i told her this would limit resale but she doesn't listen. We did it online and were hoping not to talk to a sales guy but no, the dealer calls immediately presumably to secure his commission, then repeat all the same info we just put in online. We also filled out a form to apply for a government grant as they obviously sensitive about this, the £500 is refundable any time up to 31 March, same date the grant runs out, so they could see a lot of cancellations on that day! No order date yet.
