Fiat
The Fiat 500e, as a small electric city car seems, at face value, like the ideal candidate for the Electric Car Grant. However, it’s the larger Fiat 600e that gets the discount – £1,500, to be exact – which, following a recent range-wide price cut, actually makes the EV more affordable than the petrol model.
Ford
Ford was the first manufacturer to have any of its electric cars officially qualify for the full £3,750 Government grant, likely helped by the fact the powertrains for the Puma Gen-E and E-Tourneo Courier are produced in the UK. Thanks to the discount, the Puma EV is actually cheaper to buy than the petrol-powered version. You can also get the larger Explorer and Capri with the grant, although both receive only the base discount.
Hyundai
Hyundai is on a roll with its transition to electric, particularly with its high-performance offerings in the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N. However, only one of the Korean firm’s six electric models (eight, if you count the N variants) gets the grant. The Hyundai Kona Electric benefits from the base £1,500 discount, although curiously its mechanical sibling, the Kia Niro EV, doesn’t.
