Electric Vehicles: Hire Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of introducing an electric vehicle social leasing scheme.
Answered by Keir Mather
Government incentives are targeted to where they will deliver the most impact and the greatest value for money to the taxpayer. We have recently introduced the Electric Car Grant, which is available to private buyers of new zero emission vehicles, as well as vehicle leasing and rental companies. This allows the Grant to benefit drivers regardless of whether they prefer to purchase or lease a vehicle. The Government continues to keep all policies under review to ensure the transition to zero emission vehicles takes place in an equitable and fair manner.
