Numbers
The introduction of plug- in electric vehicles in the United Kingdom is acti- vely supported by the Bri- tish government, which, as of November 2013, has pledged £400 million to support the deployment of plug-in vehicles in the five years to March 2015. More than 24,500 plug-in electric vehicles have be- en registered in the UK up until December 2014.
Car Grants
The Plug-in Car Grant programme started on 1 January 2011 and is avai- lable across the UK. The programme reduces the up-front cost of eligible cars by providing a 25% grant towards the cost of new plug-in cars cap- ped at £5,000, which is re- ceived at the point of pur- chase. The programme was extended in February 2012 to include plug-in vans. Van buyers can re- ceive 20% - up to £8,000.
