Full list of car models on Labour’s EV grant list | Personal Finance | Finance

All the vehicles eligible for EV grants from the Labour government have been unveiled as the programme continues to expand, reports Birmingham Live.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: “Our Electric Car Grant has already supported over 40,000 drivers to choose electric, and this latest expansion doubles the number of models available for the top discount – putting thousands of pounds back in more families’ pockets.

“We’re doubling down on our drive to help people buy EVs, extending the grant to push down costs and boosting charging access with a further £200 million to expand the charging network across the UK.”

The Labour minister added: “The additional £200 million to support the rollout of more chargepoints across the country will build on the £381 million to help councils deliver over 100,000 new public chargers.”

Ian Plummer, Chief Commercial Officer at Autotrader, the UK’s largest automotive marketplace, said: “The Electric Car Grant is helping to make electric cars more affordable for thousands of car buyers, which is vital if we are to accelerate the rate of adoption.”

“We can clearly see the impact the grant is already having on consumer interest, with the number of people viewing grant eligible models on Autotrader increasing by over 100% in some instances, so with the addition of these news models to the scheme we will no doubt see similar levels of interest.

“We’re also pleased to hear that the government is trying to make charging more accessible and cheaper for all. EVs enjoy significant running cost benefits, but only when the cars can be charged mainly on driveways or cheaper off street locations, so this investment is vital to ensure no driver is left behind on the journey to electric.”

BEAMA CEO, Yselkla Farmer, commented: “BEAMA’s latest market pulse shows that the Electric Car Grant is leading to positive trends in new EV inquiries to date and its continued support by this government is a welcome measure, providing certainty and improving confidence for UK EV charge point manufacturers in the UK as the place to invest.

“With more cars becoming eligible for the top level of the grant the government’s ambitious ZEV mandate is becoming increasingly achievable.”
