Electric van and truck discounts extended

The government has confirmed that the plug-in van and truck grant will continue through to at least 2027.

The grant provides valuable financial support to businesses looking to buy electric vans and trucks. Currently, discounts are available of up to £2,500 for small vans, £5,000 for large vans, £16,000 for small trucks, and £25,000 for large trucks. The grant amounts for the 2026 to 2027 financial year will be confirmed at a future date.

Industry figures suggest that businesses could save more than £2,800 annually on fuel alone by switching to electric. While balancing this against the higher purchase cost of electric vehicles, the grant may make it worth considering making a change.

Future of Roads Minister Lillian Greenwood said that the grant’s extension will help “Britain’s transition to cleaner transport while backing the industries that keep our economy moving.”
