US EditionBritain offers discounts on electric cars to boost demand
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 15 – The UK government aims to boost private electric vehicle sales with a £650 million grant offering up to £3,750 discounts on eligible cars under £37,000, supporting net-zero goals.
- The British government is introducing grants of up to £3,750 to discount eligible new electric cars costing up to £37,000, with the most environmentally friendly models receiving the largest reductions.
- The discounted electric cars should start appearing at dealerships within weeks, but some drivers have previously stated that more charging points are needed to encourage electric vehicle adoption.
- The £650 million scheme will fund the discounts for three years, as the UK plans to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
