Frequently asked questions about electric cars
Read on for answers to all those questions and more, to see whether electric motoring really is for you.
The Electric Car Grant – What you need to know?
You can get a discount on the price of brand new low-emission vehicles through a grant the government gives to vehicle dealerships and manufacturers.
You do not need to ask your dealer about the grant nor do you have to apply for it – the dealer will include the value of the grant in the vehicle’s price.
The grant means you can get up to a maximum of £3,000 off the price of an electric car. This grant was £3,500 but was cut in March 2020 by £500, with the government saying: “a small reduction to the grant, as well as excluding cars costing £50,000 or more, will allow more drivers to benefit from making the switch for longer.”
You may have heard the phrase ‘Category 1’ or ‘Plug-in grant’ in relation to the cars eligible for the grant, however, these related to the previous scheme that was open to hybrid cars too albeit with a lower grant. But the rules were changed and simplified in October 2018 to cover only vehicles with CO2 emissions of less than 50g/km and can travel at least 70 miles without any emissions at all.
