RIP Plug-In Car Grant, 2011-2022 – UK Government entirely scraps incentive to buy a new EV 🔌
► Cars above £35,000 now aren’t covered
The UK government has announced the withdrawal of the Plug-in Car Grant to all new EV orders as of 14 June 2022. After years of the grant being incrementally reduced, the UK government says it will now focus its attention on charging infrastructure instead. Transport minister Trudy Harrison has praised the grant’s success in ‘kickstarting the electric car market,’ but adds that ‘government funding must always be invested where it has the highest impact if that success story is to continue.’
The complete withdrawal means that any new car orders on or after 14 June 2022 will no longer have access to apply for the grant. Any orders currently under way will still receive the money-off incentive. The UK government says that the lower running costs of EVs far outweighs the £1500 grant seen in the last few months of its active life.
Upon the withdrawal of the grant, Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said: ‘The decision to scrap the Plug-in Car grant sends the wrong message to motorists and to an industry which remains committed to Government’s net zero ambition – we are now the only major European market to have zero upfront purchase incentives for EV car buyers yet the most ambitious plans for uptake. This decision comes at the worst possible time.
