Only time will tell I guess. However, asking Google AI “Will motability customers be able to claim the ev grant from 16th july?” produced the following, so there’s still hope!
Yes, Motability customers will be able to benefit from the new Electric Car Grant, starting July 16th, 2025. This grant offers discounts of up to £3,750 on new, eligible electric vehicles, and the discounts will be applied directly at the point of sale. Car manufacturers will be able to apply to include their vehicles in the scheme from July 16th.
