The low-emission vehicles plug-in grant can help you save up to £2,500 on the purchase price of new low-emission vehicles. The scheme was first launched in 2011 and is available across the UK with dealers using the grant towards the price of eligible new cars. The paperwork for the grant application is handled by the dealer. The scheme is open to qualifying purchases by private individuals and businesses.
HMRC publishes a list of qualifying cars and only cars listed are eligible for the grant. There are also grants available for specified motorcycles, mopeds, small vans, large vans, taxis and trucks.
The grant is available for cars with CO2 emissions lower than 50g/km and a 'zero-emission' range of at least 112km. To qualify for the grant, the cars must have an 'on the road' price cap of less than £35,000. This means that many popular environmentally friendly electric cars are not available under the scheme as their sale price exceeds the price cap.
There are separate criteria for other vehicle classes. This includes motorcycles, mopeds, small vans, large vans, taxis, small trucks and large trucks. For example, for motorcycles that have no CO2 emissions and can travel at least 50km between charges.
