The government has committed an additional £500 million to boost the sales of electric cars, including money for more rapid charging points. The subsidy of up to £5000 paid to buyers of electric cars has been with us for three years, but it hasn’t had much impact on EV sales and it did look like the […]

UK Electric Car Subsidy: £5k for the first 8,600

July 28, 2010 By Cars UK

The coalition Government are going to honour the subsidy commitment on electric cars. But only for the first 8,600. We expected more sanity from the coalition Government on all things motoring – especially after Transport Secretary Philip Hammond decreed the war on motorists to be over. And we also hoped for common sense all round on all […]

Plug-in Car Grant – Up to £5,000 off a ‘Low Carbon’ car

February 25, 2010 By Cars UK

The UK Government has confirmed plans to offer a £5ooo subsidy for electric cars and is installing recharging stations around the country. What a lot of nonsense.
