Overview

• Ford’s Puma Gen‑E and e‑Tourneo Courier are the first cars approved for the scheme’s top £3,750 discount, with most other approved models in the £1,500 tier.
• Around 30 EVs are now on the government’s list, including new £1,500 approvals such as the Peugeot E‑308, E‑408, DS 3 and DS Nº4, with further additions expected as applications are assessed.
• Toyota’s bZ4X qualifies for a £1,500 grant, and the company is adding £2,250 through its ‘Electrified Saving’ promotion until the end of September to match a £3,750 total saving; the Proace City Verso also qualifies at £1,500.
• Skoda’s Elroq and Enyaq appear on the £1,500 roster, with the Enyaq qualifying via family interpolation rules despite list prices that can exceed the £37,000 cap.
• Industry voices have criticised a ‘messy’ rollout and unclear criteria, the DfT says 2026–27 grant levels will be confirmed in due course, and wider EV support includes a £63 million charging package announced in July.
