Here is every single electric car grant available, broken down by brand and the money off you can enjoy. It’s good news if you’re looking to buy a new electric car – prices are starting to tumble thanks to the introduction of a government-backed electric car grant and a selection of manufacturer-backed grants.
The government-backed grant – introduced in July 2025 – takes a maximum of £3,750 off the price of an electric car, subject to certain conditions. The car in question needs to be electric, priced under £37,000, and ecologically assembled. Less eco-friendly models will receive either a grant of £1,500 or nothing at all.
This isn’t applied automatically to any car; manufacturers have to apply for each model to be eligible. At present, nothing has been confirmed to be eligible for the grant, but we’ll update this page the moment the news comes rolling in.
Equally, while we could simply list every EV with a list price under £37,000 in anticipation of potential price cuts, there’s not much value until cars actually go on discount. So instead, we’re only listing cars that have confirmed discounts applied to them, and listing the savings against the base price.

The EV grant: what you need to know
-
What is the electric car grant and how much can I save?
The electric car grant is a government‑backed scheme launched on 16 July 2025, offering £3,750 off greener EVs and £1,500 off not-so‑green EVs, provided they meet certain sustainability criteria. Grants apply only to brand-new, fully electric cars priced at £37,000 or less.
-
Do I need to apply myself?
No, the manufacturer applies. If approved, the grant automatically is applied at the point of sale. You'll pay the reduced price and all administrative steps are handled by the manufacturer and dealership.
-
What are manufacturer-backed grants?
These work in a similar fashion to the government-backed grants, but are paid for by the manufacturer instead. You still save a good chunk of cash.
