US EditionElectric cars eligible for £3,750 government discount revealed
- Last month, the UK government disclosed which electric car models qualify for purchase discounts of up to £3,750 through its £650 million grant program.
- The scheme aims to tackle high upfront EV costs, a key barrier cited by many drivers, to support the government's 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales.
- The government’s £3,750 purchase grant applies to two Ford electric models—the Puma Gen-E, priced at £28,495, and the e-Tourneo Courier, costing £32,190. In addition, 26 other electric vehicles qualify for a smaller grant of £1,500.
- Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the discounts help families switch to electric and boost economic growth, and Autotrader's Ian Plummer reported the scheme prompted the highest EV demand increase on their platform in three years.
- The discount applies automatically at sale, potentially bridging the financial gap for drivers according to AA president Edmund King, and more models are expected to qualify in the coming weeks.
