The Future of Roads Minister, Lillian Greenwood, has confirmed that the plug-in van grant will be extended for another year, providing continued support for businesses investing in electric vehicles.

This grant allows businesses to receive:
Up to £2,500 for an eligible small van (up to 2.5 tonnes)
Up to £5,000 for an eligible larger van (up to 4.25 tonnes)

The discount is applied directly through the dealer or manufacturer, meaning buyers do not need to apply for the grant separately.

In addition, the government is scrapping the extra training requirements for zero-emission vans, ensuring that electric vehicle users are not subject to stricter rules than those driving petrol or diesel models.

There are also attractive tax benefits for zero-emission vehicles, making them a cost-effective choice for businesses. If you’re considering upgrading your fleet and need guidance on the overall costs, get in touch – we’d be happy to help!
