Electric Car Grants and Benefits

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Over the next 5 years, ŠKODA is investing £1.8 billion in alternative driving systems and new mobility platforms. By the end of 2022, ŠKODA plan to deliver a number of new iV electrified models to fit their 'Green Future' initiative. With this in mind, the Government are offering a selection of grants making it more affordable for you to own an electric vehicle.

• Plug-In vehicle grant of up to £1,500* to buy an electric car.

• If you have off-street parking, you can install a wall box charger at home through using the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme. The scheme supports up to 75% of the cost of your home charger, capped at £350** including VAT, off the installation price.

• Workplace Charging Scheme*** - If you want to encourage your employees to make the switch to electric, the Government will support £350 of the installation cost for every charge point you install (maximum of 40 chargepoints)

• Cars that are zero-emission are exempt from paying Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)

ROAD TAX SAVINGS

Plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles (less than 51g/km of CO₂) are currently exempt for paying VED (in the 20/21 tax year) . As well as this, electric vehicles qualify for the 100% cleaner vehicle discount, which means exemption from the congestion charge and are exempt from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). For the 100% discount, owners will need to register for the scheme.
