The UK government has announced the extension of its plug-in van and truck grant that offered discounts for drivers switching to electric vehicles (EV).
The plug-in van and truck grant currently offers discounts up to £2,500 for small vans, £5,000 for large vans, £16,000 for small trucks, and £25,000 for large trucks, with the grant now confirmed to last until at least 2027.
Grant levels for the 2026 to 2027 financial year will be confirmed in due course.

The UK government said that the grant extension gives fleet operators, ranging from logistics firms to independent businesses, the certainty they need to confidently plan their electric vehicle purchases.
Future of roads minister Lilian Greenwood said: “Extending these grants is another decisive step to power Britain’s transition to cleaner transport while backing the industries that keep our economy moving, driving new investment in EVs and helping businesses cut costs and expand.
“Every EV on our roads means healthier communities and new economic opportunities across the country, which is why grants like these are crucial to both accelerating that transition and building a resilient, competitive economy.”
Achievements and innovations in EV charging infrastructure will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Visit www.cittiawards.co.uk to learn more about this unmissable event for the UK’s transportation sector!
