Yeah, pretty sure fwippers is correct there.
That grant was only for cars below £32.000. Most of the (decent) EVs on the scheme are above that, and wouldn’t have qualified for the subsidy anyway.
The Kona Ultimate, for example, is over £37.000, and isn’t eligible for the £1500 grant. There are EVs that are below the threshold, but as i said, most decent ones on the scheme are above.
I assume the changes by MB were mostly driven not by the reduction from £2500 to £1500, but the fact that the price threshold dropped from £35.000 to £32.000.
That all said, of course there’s always a chance that it’s gonna be used as an excuse to jack up the prices. But purely based on the facts, nothing should change for most EVs on the scheme.
