The government will soon offer grants up to £3,750 for new electric cars to encourage a transition from petrol and diesel vehicles. Eligible vehicles must cost up to £37,000, with the largest discounts for the most environmentally friendly options. The funding will last three years, supported by a £650 million scheme. While about 1.3 million electric cars exist in the UK, there are only 82,000 public charging points. Increased grants aim to boost sales as the government plans to ban new fossil fuel cars by 2030.
The cost of a new electric car will soon be reduced by up to 3,750 after the government introduced grants to encourage drivers to move away from petrol and diesel vehicles.
Discounts will apply to vehicles costing up to 37,000, with the most environmentally friendly vehicles seeing the biggest reductions. Discounts will range between 1,500 and 3,750.
The government has pledged to ban the sale of new fully petrol or diesel cars and vans from 2030 and will invest 63m to fund EV charging points.
There are around 1.3 million electric cars on Britain's roads but currently only around 82,000 public charging points, which is a major concern.
