Insurance for Cyberster

And for cars that don't make it to registration by April 2025 there will be the extra VED to pay, this year it is £590 instead of £180 for 12 months.

For insurance an XPower is group 40 and it shares body panels with other MG4's so in theory cheaper/easier to repair bodywork damage.

But a 2 seater for some reason adds a premium. Whereas an Audi TT with useless backseats reduces insurance.

Unfortunately a Cyberster has collided with a Nissan already. MG looks intact compared to the Nissan!

That £40k ceiling needs to change (or perhaps that’s how it was planned anyway to recoup lost revenue). It’s too low now - it was designed as an expensive car supplement but many many EV’s easily exceed £40k without really being ‘prestige or “expensive” cars’.
 
A bit like Dieselgate can see these guys coming down the road with charges. 500+ tax to tax any thing "premium" nowadays. Obviously theres a shortfall in VED revenue

by 2030 im sure theyll say no more ICE cars in central London unless classic or residents with a view to getting people to get rid of their private cars in and around London or taxing them out regardless of propulsion method. With the ULEZ cameras up i envisage another charging method coming in once ULEZ is over 90% compliance (no money being made from expensive cameras + vandalisation). At the moment theyre chasing people who have up to thousands in fines refusing to pay lol

Even EVs at some point will be congestion charged for coming into London in the 2030s. At the moment they get away with paying £10 to £20 per year at any time.

I put in one of the prototype number plates in compare the market. Its down as MG C Automatic Petrol. I think the plate has been used on multiple test cars. Insurance came up lower than all my previous cars at £612. 15 years no claim. London. Male 38. GTR in comparison is between £1000-£1600. I think the MG price will change though. This is like CRZ/Smart car prices

Just got an insurance quote from Admiral adding the Cyberster to the current multi car an extra @ £655 for a full year for two drivers. I am happy with that.

Similar to mine - £705 (just cancelled multicar as I’m carless until the Cyberster) but £630 if I add the house back in! Just need a bloody delivery date for the car now!!!

The current Congestion charge exemption for EV's in Central London comes to an end in late December '25.
I'm sure your right regarding the future of driving in Central London. Whilst I don't think they will ban private cars from London, I'm sure the charges will become ridiculous whatever the car - EV or ICE or Hybrid etc. There is simply too much money to be made from the super rich indigenous population. For them £50.00 or £100.00 is an irrelevance, in fact it will just clear the roads of 'ordinary drivers' making Central London almost a private road network for the rich!
 
Thats the plan to keep jo public out and eventually either put further tolls or gate it up. Only way to get in would be by train, foot, cycle or to pay a fee. You get in and theres higher parking charges and parking restrictions. Cant wait to move out lol. They can keep London.

You can also easily exceed £40 K on a VW Golf!
