Overview

• Carmakers can apply from July 16 to register eligible models and will handle all administration so buyers receive automatic showroom discounts.
• Vehicles under £37,000 qualify for grants tiered by manufacturing sustainability, with the greenest models receiving up to £3,750 and others up to £1,500.
• Models priced above £37,000—including all Teslas, BMWs, Audis, and Mercedes—are excluded from the scheme.
• The £650 million fund supports applications through the 2028/29 fiscal year as part of measures to meet the UK’s 2030 petrol and diesel sales ban and zero-emission vehicle mandate.
• The revived grant builds on recent infrastructure boosts that have delivered over 82,000 public charging points to address stalled private EV uptake.
