Overview

• Two Ford models have been placed in the top band of the £650m Electric Car Grant, with discounts applied automatically at purchase for new EVs priced at £37,000 or less.
• Four additional cars were added to the lower band, with £1,500 off the Peugeot E‑308, Peugeot E‑408, DS DS3 and DS Nº4.
• The updated list now covers 28 eligible models across the £3,750 and £1,500 tiers.
• Eligibility hinges on manufacturers having Science Based Targets initiative verification and on lifecycle emissions scores that weight battery production 70% and vehicle assembly 30%.
• Reported post‑grant pricing puts the Puma Gen‑E from £24,745 and the e‑Tourneo Courier from £28,440, with the government stating more approvals are expected in the coming weeks.
