Electric Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to support consumers to switch to electric vehicles.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Government has committed £7.5 billion over the next decade to support industry and the public as they transition to zero emission vehicles.
This includes the £2 billion Electric Car Grant, which has already supported over 80,000 drivers who have benefited from discounts of up to £3,750 across more than 40 models. This also includes the £600 million funding to support the rollout of charging infrastructure, with 118,321 public chargers installed already as of 1 March 2026.
