Switch to an electric vehicle

Switching to an electric vehicle has never been easier.

There are a host of support services and incentives available to help you switch to an electric vehicle, whether for yourself or your business, make your switch easier.

Personal grants

You can get a grant to make buying some types of low-emission vehicles cheaper. You don’t need to apply for the grant yourself, the seller will include it as a discount in the purchase price.

You can also get a grant to use towards a chargepoint at certain domestic properties.
