The UK Government has tightened rules about which EV model variants are eligible for its Electric Car Grant, with a new maximum price of £42,000.
Previously, the government said that so long as one version of an EV with a particular powertrain was priced at under £37,000, all other variants with that powertrain would be eligible, regardless of their asking price. Now, however, variants costing more than £42,000 will be excluded.

The grant scheme was introduced last month, offering grants of £3,750 on ‘Band 1’ EVs, classed as the most sustainable, and £1,500 on ‘Band 2’ EVs.
The Ford Puma Gen-E and E-Tourneo Courier were announced as the first Band 1 models earlier this week. Makers of Band 2 models include Alpine, Citroen, Cupra, DS, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen.
