Plug-in grants for hybrid cars
The low-emission vehicles plug-in grant can help your company save up to £1,500 on the purchase price of new low-emission vehicles. The paperwork for the grant application is handled by the dealer.
Which cars qualify? The grant is available for cars with CO2 emissions lower than 50g/km and a “zero-emission” range of at least 112km. To qualify for the grant, the cars must have an “on the road” price cap of less than £32,000. This means that many popular environmentally friendly electric cars are not available under the scheme as their sale price exceeds the price cap. Tip. HMRC publishes a list of qualifying cars and only cars listed are eligible for the grant. There are also grants available for specified small vans, large vans and trucks.
