Overview

• The Ford Puma Gen‑E and Ford e‑Tourneo Courier are the first cars confirmed for the maximum £3,750 reduction under the £650 million scheme.
• Four additional models — the Peugeot E‑308, Peugeot E‑408, DS 3 and DS Nº4 — have been added at the £1,500 level.
• A total of 28 electric models are now on the eligible list for either £3,750 or £1,500, with further approvals expected as applications are assessed.
• Eligibility is limited to EVs priced at £37,000 or less and tied to sustainability criteria, with industry figures calling the phased approvals messy and urging clearer guidance.
• Related support includes grants for commercial vehicles of up to £25,000 and a £63 million charging package, while consumer groups say upfront cost and charging reliability remain key hurdles.
