The Government have implemented plans to completely ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2040 and in doing so, the focus has shifted to EV and hybrids as the alternative. To encourage the public to consider buying electric vehicles, they have made a grant available for electric vehicles that have CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km and can travel at least 112km (70 miles) without any emissions at all.
That includes;
BMW i3 and i3s
BYD e6
Citroen CZero
Hyundai IONIQ Electric
Hyundai KONA Electric
Jaguar I-PACE
Kia Soul EV
Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive
Nissan e-NV200 (5 seater and 7 seater)
Nissan LEAF
Peugeot iON
Renault ZOE
Smart EQ fortwo
Smart EQ forfour
Tesla Model S
Tesla Model X
Toyota Mirai
Volkswagen e-up!
Volkswagen e-Golf
The grant will pay for 35% of the purchase price for these vehicles, up to a maximum of £3,500 and this will be automatically included in the vehicle’s price so you don’t have to apply.
