Overview

• The Electric Car Grant portal opens on August 11 offering up to £3,750 off new EVs priced under £37,000.
• Over 11,000 Blue Badge holders under the Motability Scheme risk missing out due to the strict price cap.
• Only 20 of the 40 most accessible and affordable EVs on the Motability Scheme meet the £37,000 threshold.
• Blue Badge holders face identical eligibility rules and must fund any disability adaptations or wheelchair conversions themselves.
• Experts call for raising the £37,000 cap and covering adaptation costs to make EV grants inclusive for disabled drivers.
