MORE electric cars have been added to a list of those qualified for a government discount – including some who will receive the full £3,750 price cut.

The government Electric Car Grant scheme, which offers discounts of varying amounts on the purchase price depending on levels of emissions in the manufacturing process.

Last week saw the first tranche of vehicles qualifying for the full £3,750 discount, after a range of cars were unveiled in Band 2 – a £1,500 price cut.

Overall, the number of cars so far announced as qualifying for a discount has reached 37 as part of the £650 million scheme.

The discounts are available on electric vehicles (EVs) bought or leased, with a price of up to £37,000 in a bid to support more affordable options.

Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander (Lab, Swindon South), said: ”We’re delivering on our promise to make it easier and cheaper for families to go electric.

“This is about backing drivers, putting money back into people’s pockets and creating the jobs and growth that will drive Britain forward, delivering on our Plan for Change.”

Responding to the latest additions, RAC head of policy, Simon Williams, said: “It’s great to see details of the first two models qualifying for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant. This represents a significant saving for drivers which we hope further stimulates demand and encourages other manufacturers to follow suit.

“We’ve long called for the Government to reintroduce an EV grant aimed at the more affordable end of the market, so it’s very positive to see this happening in support of the switch to electric motoring.”
