Since its launch in July 2025, more than 20,000 people across the UK have benefited from the Government’s Electric Car Grant, proving that thousands of drivers are embracing the switch to cleaner, more affordable motoring.

If you’ve been considering buying a new electric car, now could be the ideal time to take advantage of this growing opportunity.

What the Electric Car Grant Offers

Backed by £650 million in government funding, the Electric Car Grant was introduced by the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) to make electric driving more accessible for UK motorists.

The grant applies to brand new, fully electric cars priced under £37,000. Depending on the model’s range and energy efficiency, buyers can receive either £1,500 or £3,750 off the vehicle’s purchase price, applied automatically at the point of sale.

That means you don’t need to complete any forms or applications; the dealership deducts the discount when you buy your car.

This simplicity, combined with significant savings, has already encouraged tens of thousands of people to take the next step towards zero-emission driving.

What This Means for You

Switching to an electric car can feel like a big decision, but the Electric Car Grant makes it more achievable than ever.

Here’s what you gain:

• Instant savings of up to £3,750 on eligible models, no admin, no waiting.
• Lower running costs, with electricity typically cheaper than petrol or diesel.
• A cleaner, quieter drive, with zero tailpipe emissions.
• Confidence in your choice, knowing that over 20,000 others have already taken advantage of the same scheme.

By reducing the upfront cost, the grant helps bridge the gap between traditional and electric vehicles, making ownership realistic for more households across the UK.

It’s also a strong signal of continued government support for electric mobility, as the country works towards its 2035 zero-emission vehicle target.

How to Benefit

If you’re ready to explore your options, start by checking the list of eligible cars on the official GOV.UK website. Once you’ve found a model that suits your lifestyle and budget, your local dealership can confirm whether the discount applies automatically.
