Driving Change: New Government EV Grant Makes Electric Vehicles More Attainable
TEAM Energy’s EV Suitability Calculator empowers drivers and businesses to capitalise on the new Electric Car Grant
The UK Government’s newly introduced Electric Car Grant, which offers up to £3,750 off the cost of a new electric vehicle, is paving the way for cleaner, more affordable transport. While the financial incentive is a welcome development, it also prompts an important question: is an EV the right choice for your personal or business needs?
TEAM Energy dives into this question, offering practical guidance on how to navigate the Government’s £650 million initiative. The grant applies to new electric vehicles priced at £37,000 or less and aims to narrow the cost gap between petrol and electric models. However, eligibility goes beyond price, vehicles must also meet strict sustainability criteria, with greater discounts available for those with the highest environmental credentials.
Making sense of the opportunity
This grant is part of a broader national strategy to accelerate the shift to zero-emission transport. Yet, for many, the decision to switch to electric still depends on real-world factors like charging infrastructure, daily mileage, and total cost of ownership. That is where TEAM’s EV Suitability Calculator comes in, helping individuals and fleet operators determine whether an EV is not only environmentally sound but also practical and cost-effective.
From policy to practice
With manufacturers able to apply for grant eligibility from 16 July 2025, and funding available through 2029 (or until the budget is exhausted), the time to act is now. TEAM’s latest article breaks down the Government’s announcement, explains who qualifies, and offers tips for making smart, future-ready decisions in a fast-changing market.
If you’re thinking about making the switch to electric, there’s never been a better moment to explore your options.
