The UK government has introduced electric car grants of up to £3,750 to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles (EVs). The first four models eligible for these grants are Citroen's e-C3, e-C4, e-C5, and e-Berlingo, with the discount applied automatically at sale. The initiative addresses the upfront costs that deter many drivers from purchasing EVs, making electric cars more affordable and accessible. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander announced this measure to facilitate the transition to electric motoring for a broader audience.
The first electric car models eligible for new government grants have been revealed, allowing motorists to save either £1,500 or £3,750 based on sustainability criteria.
The Department for Transport stated that many drivers cite upfront costs as a key barrier to buying an EV, and the grant will bring down prices of electric cars.
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander emphasized that this initiative aims to make owning an electric car cheaper and easier for thousands more people across the UK.
The government is providing a £650 million electric car grant to encourage more drivers to switch to electric motoring, addressing upfront cost barriers.
