£1.5bn package announced to help Britain switch to electric vehicles

The UK government is tripling the Electric Car Grant to £1.5 billion to boost EV adoption and domestic critical minerals production, aiding 35,000 drivers so far, government data shows.

  • The government is expected to announce an extra £1.3 billion in funding for the Electric Car Grant scheme at next week's Budget to encourage the use of electric vehicles .
  • The scheme has already helped 35,000 people switch to EVs, and there will also be money allocated to create more charging points across the UK.
  • A consultation on helping people without driveways to charge their EVs is also expected in the Budget, but EV owners could face a new tax in the form of a pay-per-mile charge in the future.
