    “ Step up to the Plus grade and the price leaps to €39,770. Frankly, after inspecting the equipment list, it’s not worth the extra cash. And forget about the Max version at €46,610.”

    I have to say though, that Cupra package looks very tempting. I wonder if they're still on track for 2021. Does Seat Ireland handle Cupra sales? I presume it does.

    Yep - new Formentor arriving in January closely followed by Cupra Leon PHEV and normal 2.0TSI petrol and Cupra Ateca facelift all in close succession - expect a big bang end of this year/january. All being distributed by Volkswagen Group Ireland too.

    Gap insurance? I was quoted €495, although I asked for quote. Otherwise I was given the otr price without any addons

    Could be - I'm going to get them to quote out the machine.. 500EUR for insurance seems a lot; you'd expect that would be for the year..

    I've a test drive booked for the 1.5 Golf MHEV and ID.3 next week when my own Golf is in for a service, it will be interesting to see them back to back. 2021 figures will of course be different and the purchase of PHEV/EV depends on whether the council will budge on allowing a charger to be installed outside my house but at least it will help me compare the two.

    eHybrid due December/January, I have a lot of interesting homework to do!

    If they allowed discount on the Plus to under €40k the Gap insurance would be €400. Assuming the price is the same as when I got my Golf, €300 for €20-30k, €400 for €30-40k etc.

    Say in 6months you write it off or it gets stolen.
    you might owe 30k on it and its only worth 25k .
    Your insurance company will only give you the 25k.
    The gap insurance makes up the difference .
    Thats my understanding anyways.

    Check your insurance, most will cover a new for new in the first year, so the gap insurance is really useful for years 2 and 3 of the finance term

    The problem is that you can’t buy it when the vehicle is 1 yo.

    What's the sequence of events for getting a home charger grant.

    My understanding is :
    1) Get car
    2) Apply for grant
    3) Only purchase & install charger once grant application is successful
    4) Submit details of installation to get money

    I'm not getting a VW charger, looking at getting a Zappi instead.

    My understanding of it is that you don't need 1). However don't think you will get grant paid until you have car..

    I think that considering dramatic APR drop on Plus version there could be a very small difference for those on PCP or ID.Plan.

    The application asks "Are you named on the Vehicle Registration Certificate ?" not sure I can answer that correctly until the I've bought the car and it's registered in my name.

    I've currently paid a (refundable) deposit only.
    I presume I can't therefore apply until a particular car is registered in my name.

    It also asks for "Electric Vehicle Grant Application ID", which I don't have at this stage either.

    If you buy the car outright yes, if you intend to do a ID.Plan with 0% deposit, the difference was around €2,500 over the term of the plan.
