- Drivers can now get £3,750 off the Citroën ë-C5 Aircross Long
Range as the Government's Electric Car Grant expands again to add
more qualifying models, giving people greater choice and putting
money back in people's pockets
- It comes as the latest industry data
shows EV sales have hit new highs, with electric cars making up
1 in 4 new vehicles sold in October - up nearly 29% since last
year.
- More than 30,000 drivers have already made the switch thanks
to the grant, which is helping to boost demand, support jobs and
grow the economy.
- The grant now covers 38 electric models across the most
popular automative brands including Ford, Citroën, Volkswagen and
Nissan and offers discounts of up to £3,750, available to drivers
directly at dealerships. See the full list of qualifying models
here.
- To keep pace with the demand and boost EV infrastructure, the
Government is also investing £381 million to help councils roll
out more than 100,000 new chargepoints across the country, adding
to the 86,000 already live, with a new charger added on average
every 33 minutes.
- The investment is helping make charging cheaper and easier,
especially outside London with some rural areas seeing a 26%
increase in public chargers in the space of a year. See
here.
- And for renters and those without driveways, new proposals could
cut red tape and make it cheaper and easier to install home
chargers, helping saving residents up to £250 in planning fees.
Combined with the £25m scheme to
support local authorities deliver more discreet cross-pavement
channel charging solutions for residents, allow people to
charge up for as little as 2p per mile.

Aviation, Maritime and Decarbonisation Minister said: "Our Electric
Car Grant now offers drivers more choice and bigger savings —
putting £3,750 back in people's pockets as we help Britain go
electric."

Greg Taylor, Managing Director, Citroën UK,
said: "It's really important to us at Citroën that the
transition to electrification is made as accessible as possible
and we price all of our vehicles accordingly. ë-C5 Aircross
Long Range is the first vehicle of its size and type to receive
the full grant which is testament to the hard work of the team
at Citroën to make cars that are practical for all. We welcome
the support the UK Government is providing to make the
transition to electric attainable, and are proud that Citroën
continues to lead the way."
