    I must admit The grant team I’ve got worse I needed a higher car for both me and my wife so are you Applied for a grant The lady on the phone said what type of car you were looking for so I said something that is quite tall and she asked me about electric cars and I said I couldn’t have one because I’m leave it in a block of flats and if I had, I would have to have a lead about 40 foot long if not more just to get to the car which is not practical from Six floor a few days later I received a phone call saying yes the grant has been awarded. He’s a Lift of car  you can have. all electric except for two which were very small cars so I rang them back off and they said oh no, so we don’t take into account that you can’t have electric charger at home so I had to turn down the grand plus a lot of people don’t know that you can only had so much money to the grant  you are offered which pushed mine to or just £1000 or just over   You’re not even able to put your £750 towards it only a percentage which I think you remember what they was the grant plus £350.00 when I rang back up to say I’ll have to turn the grant down I was asked why and I told them about the electric cars being the only option I was told well we don’t take that into consideration about public charging so they didn’t help me. I just think at the moment because of grants and everything, push it electric cars only sure thing a lot of people I’ll be returning the grant before they’ve even used them lucky enough family members stepped in and help me get the car that I need and I’ve had to borrow it as well
