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.
