Overview

• DfT added seven models — Toyota bZ4X and Proace City Verso, Skoda Elroq and Enyaq, Peugeot e‑Traveller, Vauxhall Vivaro Life Electric and Citroën e‑SpaceTourer — each eligible for a £1,500 discount.
• The list now totals 35 eligible EVs, with only Ford’s Puma Gen‑E and E‑Tourneo Courier meeting the £3,750 Band 1 threshold.
• A new £42,000 cap limits eligibility to lower‑priced trims within each interpolation family, excluding higher‑spec versions such as some bZ4X grades.
• Backed by £650 million, the scheme applies to EVs under £37,000 and is scheduled through 2028–29, with approvals issued in rolling batches as manufacturers apply.
• Government plans include 100,000 additional public chargers over the next year, while dealers report buyers delaying orders pending clarity on which models get full discounts.
