Ford Explorer EV or Capri?
Ford Explorer EV or Capri EV? Assuming price isn't main concern as it would be a company vehicle choice. Would I really see the extra range benefit in the Capri?

Do I pay any VRT or VAT on a NI-sourced EV?
I'm buying a used (2022) 100-per-cent-electric, NI-registered car from a dealer in the North. My understanding is I can register the car in the south, with no VAT or VRT, or do I have to get proof of MOT from the dealer?

Are there taxes on wheelchair-accessible taxis?
Hello,
I want to buy a wheelchair-accessible minivan for my taxi business in Ireland. Will I have to pay all the VAT, VRT etc or are wheelchair-accessible vehicles free of these payments?
Thanks in advance.

Looking to buy a car to pull a caravan...
I am looking at buying a second car that will pull a caravan. I haven't bought the caravan yet. I am considering a 2015 or 2016 diesel car, but as I've never owned a diesel car before, I'm concerned I could be buying trouble, even from reputable dealers.
Is it possible to buy a 9- or 10-year-old petrol car to pull a caravan, and what make of petrol would be the best? I understand the weight etc to pull a caravan.

A couple of questions on the new Mercedes CLA...
1. What's the business model of the Mercedes-Benz CLA's built-in charging app? Is it more expensive than using e.g. Ionity directly?
2. What about the Mobilo Road Assistance? Is it really free of charge?
