Motoring groups criticise cut in electric car subsidies
The government has further reduced the amount of subsidy for buying electric cars, this time from £2,500 to £1,500. …
However, transport minister Trudy Harrison said: “The market is charging ahead in the switch to electric vehicles. This, together with the increasing choice of new vehicles and growing demand from customers, means that we are re-focusing our vehicle grants on the more affordable vehicles and reducing grant rates to allow more people to benefit, and enable taxpayers’ money to go further.”
