Very much a mixed message from the UK government. Promoting and encouraging electric vehicles and then removing the grant from all but the 25 cheapest which are in the main smaller and less equipped and crucially have smaller ranges. The ball is now in the court of the manufacturer. Will some reduce prices and possibly specs to fall under the new limit? For a government which us always spouting it’s green agenda, this latest announcement appears to be totally at odds with it. For private buyer’s who have the additional costs of installing a fast charger at home this could make the prospect of an electric vehicle unviable for the vast majority and out of reach of everyone except the wealthy.
