The plug-in car grant has been scrapped, but what does that mean for car buyers, manufacturers and retailers? PiCG ElectricVehicle EV ElectricCar
"The plug-in car grant was a welcome government incentive which has supported the British public’s transition to electrified vehicles since 2011. Forit complemented the increase of our electrified sales mix, where we now achieve strong sales of our industry leading electrified products. In 2022, around 18% of our sales year-to-date are fully electric vehicles.
"At Stellantis, we are fully committed to a zero-emission future and have ambitious goals across our Brands with our Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan to have entirely fully electric cars and vans well ahead of the Government deadline of 2035. "Whilst we welcome government’s continued support for new electric van, taxi and adapted vehicle buyers, we're now the only major European market to have zero upfront purchase incentives for EV car buyers, yet [we have] the most ambitious plans for uptake.
