Car makers will be able to self-register eligible electric cars and receive the government's new Electric Car Grant (ECG), Autocar can reveal.
Through the likes of demonstrators, employee vehicles sold through employee car ownership schemes and even press demonstrator vehicles, car makers will receive up to £3750 from the ECG purse, so long as the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles is informed, a Department for Transport (DfT) spokesperson has confirmed to Autocar.
Such practice would be a huge boost in helping car makers with EVs eligible for the grant to be compliant with the government's ZEV mandate and avoid fines for non-compliance.
