Discount of up to £3,750 on electric cars to slash costs
Drivers across the UK will soon enjoy discounts on dozens of new electric car models after the government announced a £650 million grant scheme worth up to £3,750 per car, as part of the Plan for Change and making owning an electric car a reality for thousands.
Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood said: "You can save up to £1500 a year if you switch to electric.
If you can charge at home overnight, you can be paying as little as 2p per mile to drive an electric car." Report by Gluszczykm.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said: “We just heard that inflation is up again, the worst in the G7. We left him with 2% inflation. We have borrowing up, unemployment up, taxes are up (..) his budget last year had high taxes. That’s why the economy is contracting.” Sir Keir Starmer replied: “I think of the working people across this country who put in every day and don’t get back what they deserve, and that’s who we’re working for. That’s who we’re fixing the country (for).”
