Hi guys, just wondering if anyone's heard anything about any more upcoming changes to the now-reduced EV grant in the UK?
I ask because a work colleague who's looking to get an EV as his next lease car said a neighbour told him last week there are more changes coming - the guy doesn't work for any relevant department (he's military) so not sure he has any special information and if it's just random hearsay or not? My colleague didn't dig further.
I know many think the lessening of the grant means manufacturer prices will come down but I think they forget many other countries offer far larger incentives for EV's and car companies may spec cars down a little to meet the threshold but they aren't going to give the UK magical prices and upset the rest of their customers!
Would just be good to see something more positive in the UK as the grant reduction is going to impact pretty much all the new and interesting cars coming this year...
