Citroën e‑C5 Aircross Long Range Added to Full £3,750 UK Electric Car Grant

Only the 97kWh version meets the stricter sustainability rules required for the top tier.

Overview

  • DfT says the Long Range model qualifies for the maximum discount at the point of sale, with the 73kWh versions limited to the £1,500 band.
  • The 97kWh SUV is quoted at up to 422 miles of range and can rapid charge from 20% to 80% in about 27 minutes at 160kW.
  • The Citroën joins Ford’s Puma Gen‑E and E‑Tourneo Courier among models awarded the higher £3,750 subsidy.
  • Citroën has not announced UK pricing for the Long Range, though the grant will lower the eventual list price by £3,750.
  • The grant now covers 38 EVs as officials highlight strong sales and charging‑network investment, with separate reports pointing to a possible pay‑per‑mile tax under consideration.
