Electric Vehicles: Motorcycles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential economic impact of removing support for electric motorcycles relative to the cost of the scheme.
Answered by Keir Mather
In February 2025, we announced the decision to close the Plug-in Motorcycle Grant, which closed at the end of the 2025/26 financial year. Ending the £500 Plug-in Motorcycle Grant is not expected to have a significant impact on uptake of zero emission motorcycles or on riders.
The Government, working with industry, will monitor the development of the zero emission motorcycle market and the need for any further interventions on an ongoing basis.
