Would you think there is any chance of getting a WAV grant now?

was going to wait until January to change but I doubt my taxi will last that long.

Not sure to just buy a newer one now or rent until 2024 maybe.

@ 1990, It makes no sense to me why you would trade a saloon fer a part-worn WAV with those grants,
while you could scrap a saloon fer an new EV saloon with about 25k worth of grants ??

Given a choice of a Wheelie with grants or an EV with grants, I would take the EV every day.

And don't forget the hoops ye have to jump through afterwards with the WAV grant.
