The Government Grant Change, Stockton Kia Can Still Help You
Demystifying the government grant change and what it means to you. Stockton Kia can still help.
Recently, the government announced the reduction in the financial incentive package for EV buyers in the UK, down from £3,000 to £2,500 as well as lowering the maximum price limit for eligible vehicles from £50,000 to £35,000. The overnight change has resulted in over 20 EV models losing their eligibility for the grant, which isn't great news for members of the public looking to purchase an EV vehicle or manufacturers alike. At Stockton Kia however, we can still help!
