Electric Vehicles: Grants

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 17 November 2025UIN 89627

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the (a) process and (b) indicative timeline is for changing the eligibility criteria for the Electric Car Grant scheme, including (i) consultation and (ii) implementation stages.

Answered by Keir Mather

All government grants, including the Electric Car Grant, remain under constant review to ensure they provide best value for money for the taxpayer. As stated when the grant was launched, the grant can be closed early or elements of the scheme amended, including the eligibility criteria, without notice. This enables the Government to effectively manage budgets.
