Q: Is there a new government grant for electric cars in the UK?

Yes! From July 2025, a new Electric Car Grant offers up to £3,750 off the cost of a new electric vehicle under £37,000. It’s part of the government’s push to help more people switch to electric cars.

Q: How much could I save with the new EV grant?

You could save up to £3,750 on the price of a new electric car costing £37,000 or less. The exact discount depends on the car and how the grant is applied.

Q: When does the new EV grant start?

It launches on 16 July 2025. However, availability may vary depending on manufacturers applying to the scheme.

No – drivers won’t apply directly. The grant is expected to be applied automatically at the point of sale once a manufacturer has registered the car with the government scheme.

Q: Does the EV grant cover used electric cars?

No. The new grant only applies to brand-new electric cars priced under £37,000. But the increased interest in new EVs could also help boost choices and affordability in the used EV market over time.

Many popular EVs under £37,000 could qualify once manufacturers register them for the scheme. Check with your local dealership for updates as more details become available.

Q: Will Brayleys apply the EV grant discount to my new car?

We’re waiting for full details on how the grant will be processed. The grant is managed via manufacturers, but we’ll help customers understand how it works as soon as it’s confirmed.

Q: Why should I switch to an Electric Vehicle?
The savings are truly remarkable! To begin with, this new government grant could allow you to save as much as £3,750 on the price of the car. When you combine that with reduced fuel and maintenance costs, along with lower road tax, it becomes an obvious choice!

With the continually growing charging infrastructure in the UK, there are now more fast chargers and smart home charging options available than ever before, making it easier to keep you going!

Alongside the grant, the investment will also look to supercharge Britain’s electric vehicle infrastructure while driving down charging costs and putting money back into your pocket.

There is also a £25 million scheme that looks to help local authorities to expand access to cheaper household rates for those who do not have a drive way. This could mean you could potentially access cheaper home charging, this equates to saving up to £1,500 a year compare to running a petrol or diesel car, so why not switch to electric?
