Plug-in Car Grant (for specific vehicles): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to get a discount on the purchase price of specific low-emission vehicles through this government grant.
This scheme provides a financial incentive to help reduce the cost of buying certain low-emission vehicles.
Who it's for
This grant is intended for individuals who are looking to purchase specific low-emission vehicles. It is designed to support the transition to cleaner transport by making certain electric or low-emission models more affordable for buyers.
What you get
The primary benefit of this scheme is a discount applied to the purchase price of the vehicle. This reduction in price is intended to help offset the initial cost of moving to a low-emission model.
What it costs you
There is no upfront application fee or direct cost to you for accessing this support. The grant is handled by the dealer at the point of sale, meaning the reduction is applied to the price of the car when you complete your purchase.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that the list of eligible vehicles changes frequently. Because the criteria for which specific models qualify can be updated, you cannot assume a vehicle is eligible just because it is low-emission; you must check the current status of the specific make and model you are interested in.
How to apply
- Identify the low-emission vehicle you intend to purchase.
- Check the current list of eligible vehicles to ensure your chosen model qualifies for the grant.
- Speak with a vehicle dealer to confirm that the discount can be applied to your specific transaction.
- Complete your purchase through the dealer, ensuring they apply the grant at the point of sale.
