🚗 Big EV News: Get up to £3,750 Off a New Electric Car Thanks to New UK Grant!
Published: July 15, 2025 | By Simon at 4front Driving School
Great news for anyone thinking of switching to an electric vehicle—the UK government has just launched a new grant of up to £3,750 off the price of a brand-new electric car! This initiative aims to make EVs more affordable and accelerate the move toward greener roads.

💷 What’s the Deal?
The new scheme offers the following:
Up to £3,750 off eligible new electric vehicles (EVs) under £37,000.
The discount amount depends on how sustainably the car is manufactured.
The cleanest and most sustainably produced models qualify for the full £3,750.
Others still benefit with £1,500 off.
The grant applies at the point of sale and launches from 16 July 2025.
It will be available through dealerships until at least 2028–29.

🔍 Why This Matters for Learners & New Drivers
As a driving instructor who teaches in a fully electric car, I think this is a fantastic step forward.
It makes EVs more affordable for learners and first-time buyers.
EVs are cheaper to run—you could save around £1,500 a year on fuel and maintenance.
You’re helping reduce noise and pollution on the roads.
It supports the UK’s move to phase out petrol/diesel cars by 2035.

🚘 What Cars Qualify?
To get the grant:
The car must be new and cost less than £37,000.
It must meet sustainability criteria (set by the government).
Most Chinese-built models and Tesla are excluded, due to environmental impact in manufacturing.
Brands likely to be included: MG, Nissan, Renault, Hyundai, Vauxhall, and more.
Participating dealers will list eligible models soon. Keep an eye out!

If you already drive an EV (or plan to), switching to the right home energy plan can help you save even more.
I wrote a blog post explaining how to reduce EV running costs using Octopus Go—with smart charging at off-peak rates and a £50 reward if you sign up using my referral link.
