Electric Vehicles: Grants

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 21 October 2025UIN 82739

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of vehicles subsidised through the Electric Vehicle Grant Scheme were manufactured outside the United Kingdom in 2025–26.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Department is unable to confirm the proportion of vehicles supported by Electric Car Grant that were manufactured outside the United Kingdom as the 2025/26 sales year is ongoing and grants are only paid following the vehicle’s delivery to the customer, which can extend up to nine months from the point an order is made.
